Using duality methods, we prove several key properties of the indifference price π for contingent claims. The underlying market model is very general and the mathematical formulation is based on a duality naturally induced by the problem. In particular, the indifference price π turns out to be a convex risk measure on the Orlicz space induced by the utility function. 相似文献

This article presents lower and upper bounds on the prices of basket options for a general class of continuous-time financial models. The techniques we propose are applicable whenever the joint characteristic function of the vector of log-returns is known. Moreover, the basket value is not required to be positive. We test our new price approximations on different multivariate models, allowing for jumps and stochastic volatility. Numerical examples are discussed and benchmarked against Monte Carlo simulations. All bounds are general and do not require any additional assumption on the characteristic function, so our methods may be employed also to non-affine models. All bounds involve the computation of one-dimensional Fourier transforms; hence, they do not suffer from the curse of dimensionality and can be applied also to high-dimensional problems where most existing methods fail. In particular, we study two kinds of price approximations: an accurate lower bound based on an approximating set and a fast bounded approximation based on the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality. We also show how to improve Monte Carlo accuracy by using one of our bounds as a control variate. 相似文献

We introduce a new stochastic volatility model that includes, as special instances, the Heston (1993) and the 3/2 model of Heston (1997) and Platen (1997). Our model exhibits important features: first, instantaneous volatility can be uniformly bounded away from zero, and second, our model is mathematically and computationally tractable, thereby enabling an efficient pricing procedure. This called for using the Lie symmetries theory for partial differential equations; doing so allowed us to extend known results on Bessel processes. Finally, we provide an exact simulation scheme for the model, which is useful for numerical applications. 相似文献

Using a data set of vanilla options on the major indexes we investigate the calibration properties of several multi-factor stochastic volatility models by adopting the fast Fourier transform as the pricing methodology. We study the impact of the penalizing function on the calibration performance and how it affects the calibrated parameters. We consider single-asset as well as multiple-asset models, with particular emphasis on the single-asset Wishart Multidimensional Stochastic Volatility model and the Wishart Affine Stochastic Correlation model, which provides a natural framework for pricing basket options while keeping the stylized smile–skew effects on single-name vanillas. For all models we give some option price approximations that are very useful for speeding up the pricing process. In addition, these approximations allow us to compare different models by conveniently aggregating the parameters, and they highlight the ability of the Wishart-based models to control separately the smile and the skew effects. This is extremely important from a risk-management perspective of a book of derivatives that includes exotic as well as basket options. 相似文献

Abstract
In the financial literature, the problem of maximizing the expected utility of the terminal wealth has been investigated extensively
(for a survey, see, e.g., Karatzas and Shreve (1998), p. 153, and references therein) by using different approaches.
In this paper, we extend the existing literature in two directions. First, we let the utility function U(.) of the financial agent (who is a price taker) be implicitly defined through I(.)=(U
′ (.))–1, which is assumed to be additively separable, i.e., I(.)=∑
k=1
N
I
k
(.).
Second, we solve the investment problem in the general affine term structure model proposed by Duffie and Kan (1996) in which
the functions I
k
(.), k=1,...,N are associated to HARA utility functions (with possibly different risk aversion parameters), and we show that the utility
maximization problem leads to a Riccati ODE. Moreover, we extend to the multi-factor framework the stability result proved
in Grasselli (2003), namely, the almost-sure convergence of the solution with respect to the parameters of the utility function.

SOLVABLE AFFINE TERM STRUCTURE MODELS 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
An Affine Term Structure Model (ATSM) is said to be solvable if the pricing problem has an explicit solution, i.e., the corresponding Riccati ordinary differential equations have a regular globally integrable flow. We identify the parametric restrictions which are necessary and sufficient for an ATSM with continuous paths, to be solvable in a state space , where , the domain of positive factors, has the geometry of a symmetric cone. This class of state spaces includes as special cases those introduced by Duffie and Kan (1996) , and Wishart term structure processes discussed by Gourieroux and Sufana (2003) . For all solvable models we provide the procedure to find the explicit solution of the Riccati ODE. 相似文献

In this paper we develop a novel market model where asset variances–covariances evolve stochastically. In addition shocks
on asset return dynamics are assumed to be linearly correlated with shocks driving the variance–covariance matrix. Analytical
tractability is preserved since the model is linear-affine and the conditional characteristic function can be determined explicitly.
Quite remarkably, the model provides prices for vanilla options consistent with observed smile and skew effects, while making
it possible to detect and quantify the correlation risk in multiple-asset derivatives like basket options. In particular,
it can reproduce and quantify the asymmetric conditional correlations observed on historical data for equity markets. As an
illustrative example, we provide explicit pricing formulas for rainbow “Best-of” options. 相似文献

We introduce a novel multi-factor Heston-based stochastic volatility model, which is able to reproduce consistently typical multi-dimensional FX vanilla markets, while retaining the (semi)-analytical tractability typical of affine models and relying on a reasonable number of parameters. A successful joint calibration to real market data is presented together with various in- and out-of-sample calibration exercises to highlight the robustness of the parameters estimation. The proposed model preserves the natural inversion and triangulation symmetries of FX spot rates and its functional form, irrespective of choice of the risk-free currency. That is, all currencies are treated in the same way. 相似文献
