  1. 6. Investigation of portfolio strategies by means of simulation

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för matematiska vetenskaper

    Author : Alexander Schälin; [2022-07-01]
    Keywords : Constant proportion portfolio insurance; Option based portfolio insurance; Irrational fraction brownian motion; Constant elasticity of variance; Ho-Lee; Black- Derman-Toy;

    Abstract : Portfolio insurance strategies are constructed to limit an investors loss but still reward them when the market goes up. In this thesis we compare two portfolio insurance strategies, Constant proportion portfolio insurance (CPPI) and Option based portfolio insurance. READ MORE

  3. 7. Financial Modelling Using Fractional Processes And The Wiener Chaos Expansion

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Olof Hummelgren; [2022]
    Keywords : fractional Brownian motion; fBM; applied mathematics; Wiener chaos expansion; Wick product; Hurst parameter; fraktionell Brownsk rörelse; tillämpad matematik; Wiener kaosexpansion; Wickprodukt; Hurstparameter;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to simulate stochastic models that are driven by a fractional Brownian motion process and to apply these methods to financial applications related to yield rate and asset price modelling. Several rough volatility processes are used to model the asset price and yield dynamics. READ MORE

  4. 8. Comparison of Indirect Inference and the Two Stage Approach

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Victor Hernadi; Leandro Carocca Jeria; [2022]
    Keywords : Geometric Brownian Motion; Drift; Volatility; Indirect Inference; Two Stage Approach; Parameter Estimation; Stock Price Prediction;

    Abstract : Parametric models are used to understand dynamical systems and predict its future behavior. It is difficult to estimate the model’s parametric values since there are usually many parameters and they are highly correlated. READ MORE

  5. 9. Bermudan Option Pricing using Almost-Exact Scheme under Heston-type Models

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för utbildning, kultur och kommunikation

    Author : Mara Kalicanin Dimitrov; [2022]
    Keywords : Almost Exact Scheme; Monte Carlo; Bermudan Options; Least Squares Monte Carlo; CIR; Heston Model; Double Heston Model; Stochastic Volatility;

    Abstract : Black and Scholes have proposed a model for pricing European options where the underlying asset follows a so-called geometric Brownian motion which assumes constant volatility. The proposed Black-Scholes model has an exact solution. READ MORE

  6. 10. Estimating the Expected Pay-out of Earnout Contracts in Private Acquisitions

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Adam Wuilmart; Erik Harrysson; [2022]
    Keywords : Earnout Contracts; Valuation; Mergers Acquisitions; Private Equity; Monte Carlo Simulation; Contingent Considerations; Tilläggsköpeskilling; Värdering; Bolagsförvärv; Black-Scholes; Monte Carlo Simulering; Optioner;

    Abstract : The growth of private equity, as well as consolidation trends across other industries, have produced a strong and vibrant mergers and acquisitions market. A challenge during these acquisitions is information asymmetry, which makes agreeing on the transaction price a challenge. READ MORE
