Pricing and hedging of Asian options: quasi-explicit solutions via Malliavin calculus
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use Malliavin calculus and the Clark-Ocone formula to derive the hedging strategy of an arithmetic Asian Call option in general terms. Furthermore we derive an expression for the density of the integral over time of a geometric Brownian motion, which allows us to express hedging strategy and price of the Asian option as an analytic, that is closed form, expression. Numerical computations which are based on this expression are provided.

Pricing and Hedging Asian Basket Options with Quasi-Monte Carlo Simulations
In this article we consider the problem of pricing and hedging high-dimensional Asian basket options by Quasi-Monte Carlo simulation. We assume a Black-Scholes market with time-dependent volatilities and show how to compute the deltas by the aid of the Malliavin Calculus, extending the procedure employed by Montero and Kohatsu-Higa [1]. Efficient path-generation algorithms, such as Linear Trans...
متن کاملMonte Carlo methods for pricing and hedging American options in high dimension
We numerically compare some recent Monte Carlo algorithms devoted to the pricing and hedging American options in high dimension. In particular, the comparison concerns the quantization method of Barraquand-Martineau and an algorithm based on Malliavin calculus. The (pure) Malliavin calculus algorithm improves the precision of the computation of the delta but, merely for pricing purposes, is unc...

متن کاملPricing and hedging American options by Monte Carlo methods using a Malliavin calculus approach
Following the pioneering papers of Fournié, Lasry, Lebouchoux, Lions and Touzi, an important work concerning the applications of the Malliavin calculus in numerical methods for mathematical finance has come after. One is concerned with two problems: computation of a large number of conditional expectations on one hand and computation of Greeks (sensitivities) on the other hand. A significant te...
متن کاملMalliavin Calculus applied to Finance
In this article, we give a brief informal introduction to Malliavin Calculus for newcomers. We apply these ideas to the simulation of Greeks in Finance. First to European-type options where formulas can be computed explicitly and therefore can serve as testing ground. Later we study the case of Asian options where close formulas are not available, and we also open the view for including more ex...
