    Abstract : Hedge funds use a variety of different financial instruments in order to try to achieve over-average returns without taking on excessive risk - options being one of the most common of these instruments. Basket options is a type of option that is written on several underlying assets that can be used to hedge risky positions. READ MORE

  3. 2. Combinatorial and price efficient optimization of the underlying assets in basket options

    University essay from KTH/Optimeringslära och systemteori

    Author : Sara Alexis; [2017]
    Keywords : Option pricing; correlated stochastic processes; Basket option; moment matching; lognormal approximation; binary nonlinear optimization; continuous nonlinear optimization; Monte Carlo simulation; penalty methods;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to develop an optimization model that chooses the optimal and price efficient combination of underlying assets for a equally weighted basket option. To obtain a price efficient combination of underlying assets a function that calculates the basket option price is needed, for further use in an optimization model. READ MORE

  4. 3. Randomized Quasi-Monte Carlo Simulations for Basket Option Pricing where underlying assets follow a Time-Changed Meixner Levy Process

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Gustav Säfwenberg; [2016]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Using derivative securities can help investors increase their expected returns as well as minimize their exposure to risk. For a risk-averse investor, options can oer both insurance and leverage and for a more risk-loving investor they can be used as speculation. READ MORE

  6. 5. Evaluation of analytical approximations of two-asset basket option price

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Teo Nilsson; [2015]
    Keywords : Teo; Nilsson; Basket-option; Option-pricing; Analytical-approximation; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : This thesis applies the decomposition suggested by Alexander and Venkatramanan (2012) to the pay-off of a basket option of two assets with a non-zero strike to derive an approximate price of corresponding basket option. The decomposition yields two sub-baskets and a situation where sub-strikes must be chosen. READ MORE
