Pricing Bounds for VIX Derivatives via Least Squares Monte Carlo
Derivatives on the Chicago Board Options Exchange volatility index (VIX) have gained significant popularity over the last decade. The pricing of VIX derivatives involves evaluating the square root of the expected realised variance which cannot be computed by direct Monte Carlo methods. Least squares Monte Carlo methods can be used but the sign of the error is difficult to determine. In this pap...
متن کاملOn the existence of an optimal regression complexity in the Least-Squares Monte Carlo (LSM) framework for options pricing
In this paper, we illustrate how to value American-style options using the Least-Squares Monte Carlo (LSM) approach proposed by Longstaff and Schwartz (2001) and investigate whether there exists an optimal regression complexity in the LSM framework for options pricing. In particular, we use the smoothing spline in the regression step, which allows us to control the regression complexity on a co...
متن کاملAssessing Least Squares Monte Carlo for the Kulatilaka Trigeorgis General Real Options Pricing Model
We assess the applicability of (Longstaff and Schwartz, 2001) Least Squares Monte Carlo method (LSMC) to the General Real Options Pricing Model of (Kulatilaka and Trigeorgis, 1994) (KT). We propose some moment matching methods to get comparable results from KT model under different underlying stochastic processes for both LSMC and multivariate lattice methods. We study LSMC under different stoc...
متن کاملThe Least-Squares Method for American Option Pricing
This article presents how to use the least-squares (LS) regression method to price the American options on basis of the algorithm in a paper by Clement, Lamberton & Protter[1]. The key to LS is the approximation of the conditional expectation functions which determine the optimal exercise strategy. In this paper, through the detailed description of the algorithm and presentation of convergence,...
متن کاملPricing American Options on Bonds using Least Squares Simulation∗
In this project we discuss Least Square MonteCarlo methods for valuing American options on bonds. We investigate when we use different base functions, vary the number of base functions and sample paths, how the option price vary. From experiments, we know that we have better choose simple base functions, like Shifted Legendre polynomial; for the balance between time and accuracy issue, we sugge...
