چکیده

We describe a high performance parallel implementation of a derivative pricing model, within which we introduce a new parallel method for the calibration of the industry standard SABR (stochastic-αβρ) stochastic volatility model using three strike inputs. SABR calibration involves a non-linear three dimensional minimisation and parallelisation is achieved by incorporating several assumptions unique to the SABR class of models. Our calibration method is based on principles of surface intersection, guarantees convergence to a unique solution and operates by iteratively refining a two dimensional grid with local mesh refinement. As part of our pricing model we additionally present a fast parallel iterative algorithm for the creation of dynamically sized cumulative probability lookup tables that are able to cap maximum estimated linear interpolation error. We optimise performance for probability distributions that exhibit clustering of linear interpolation error. We also make an empirical assessment of error propagation through our pricing model as a result of changes in accuracy parameters within the pricing model’s multiple algorithmic steps. Algorithms are implemented on a GPU (graphics processing unit) using Nvidia’s Fermi architecture. The pricing model targets the evaluation of spread options using copula methods, however the presented algorithms can be applied to a wider class of financial instruments.

Some Explicitly Solvable SABR and Multiscale SABR Models: Option Pricing and Calibration

A multiscale SABR model that describes the dynamics of forward prices/rates is presented. New closed form formulae for the transition probability density functions of the normal and lognormal SABR and multiscale SABR models and for the prices of the corresponding European call and put options are deduced. The technique used to obtain these formulae is rather general and can be used to study oth...

Static and dynamic SABR stochastic volatility models: Calibration and option pricing using GPUs

For the calibration of the parameters in static and dynamic SABR stochastic volatility models, we propose the application of the GPU technology to the Simulated Annealing global optimization algorithm and to the Monte Carlo simulation. This calibration has been performed for EURO STOXX 50 index and EUR/USD exchange rate with an asymptotic formula for volatility or Monte Carlo simulation. Moreov...

SABR/LIBOR market models: Pricing and calibration for some interest rate derivatives

In order to overcome the drawbacks of assuming deterministic volatility coefficients in the standard LIBOR market models to capture volatility smiles and skews in real markets, several extensions of LIBOR models to incorporate stochastic volatilities have been proposed. The efficient calibration to market data of these more complex models becomes a relevant target in practice. The main objectiv...

A Simple Unified Model for Pricing Derivative Securities with Equity, Interest-rate, Default and Liquidity Risk

This paper develops a model for pricing securities that may be a function of several different sources of risk, namely, equity, interest-rate, default and liquidity risks. The model is also useful for extracting probabilities of default (PD) functions from market data. The model is not based on the stochastic process for the value of the firm, but on the stochastic process for interest rates an...
