    Author : Lovisa Berglund; [2023]
    Keywords : Option Pricing; Black-Scholes; Finance; Implied Volatility; Applied Mathematics; Machine Learning; Optionsprissättning; Black-Scholes; Finans; Implicit Volatilitet; Tillämpad Matematik; Maskininlärning;

    Abstract : During the last few years, financial derivatives have been growing in trading volume. There seem to be a high demand and supply of derivatives on the market and one common derivative is the option contract. The option contract is frequently the subject of studies and many different pricing models have been created for options. READ MORE

  3. 2. Powering up profits - Integrating Power Purchase Agreements and Battery Systems for Nordic Power Futures

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : William Thorwaldson; Ellen Jinglöv; [2023]
    Keywords : Power Purchase Agreements; Financial Power Trading; Battery Energy Storage Systems; Power Futures; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This master’s thesis aims to assess the profitability and the factors impacting the profitability of entering a short position in financial derivative contracts on the Nordic power market while procuring electricity through a pay-as-produced power purchase contract and on the day-ahead (DA) market, simultaneously the strategy utilizes a battery storage system to mitigate the effects of price spikes. The research adopted a mixed-method approach by combining quantitative analysis with qualitative findings. READ MORE

  4. 3. Differential Deep Learning for Pricing Exotic Financial Derivatives

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

    Author : Erik Alexander Aslaksen Jonasson; [2021]
    Keywords : Deep Learning; Exotic Derivatives; Differential Machine Learning;

    Abstract : Calculating the value of a financial derivative is a central problem in quantitative finance. For many exotic derivatives there are no closed-form solutions for present values, instead, computationally expensive Monte Carlo methods are used for valuation. READ MORE

  5. 4. Advanced methods for pricing financial derivatives in a market modelwith two stochastic volatilities

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

    Author : Victor Folajin; [2021]
    Keywords : Financial derivative; market model; cubature method; stochastic Taylor expansion; Stratonovich integral;

    Abstract : This thesis is on an advanced method for pricing financial derivatives in a market model,which comprises two stochastic volatilities. Financial derivatives are instruments whosethat is related to any financial asset. Underlying assets in derivatives are mostly financialinstruments; such as security, currency or a commodity.

  6. 5. Deep learning exotic derivatives

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för systemteknik

    Author : Gunnlaugur Geirsson; [2021]
    Keywords : deep learning; neural networks; derivative pricing; automatic differentiation; Monte Carlo; transfer learning; structured products; risk sensitivities; valuation; autocalls;

    Abstract : Monte Carlo methods in derivative pricing are computationally expensive, in particular for evaluating models partial derivatives with regard to inputs. This research proposes the use of deep learning to approximate such valuation models for highly exotic derivatives, using automatic differentiation to evaluate input sensitivities. READ MORE
