2 Dervave Prcng by Mone Carlo We consder a conngen clam of maury T e.g. an equy opon on one or several underlyng asses, whn a Black-Scholes framework Is prce a s gven by: P P, S E Q e rt payoff T S S where r s he consan, deermnsc rsk free rae and S he underlyng prces The prncple of Mone Carlo prcng s o approxmae numercally hs expecaon by : P e # Smul rt # Smul scen payoff scen T where payoff T are realsaons of..d. random varables havng he same dsrbuon as he payoff of he dervave 2

3 Dervave Prcng by Mone Carlo Ths s a smple applcaon of he law of large numbers, ha says ha f, =,, N, are..d. wh E <, hen : N N = a.s. E The dea s hence o fnd algorhms o smulae..d. realsaons of he payoff of he opon As he expecaon s aken under he rsk-neural measure, he dsrbuon of he payoff has o be consdered under hs measure In pracce, we ofen don know he payoff dsrbuon s generally no gven explcly, and hs s precsely n hese cases ha Mone Carlo smulaons become helpful In he subsequen, we see how o smulae such payoffs n an..d. way 3-3-

4 Dervave Prcng by Mone Carlo Smulaon of a Brownan moon: A smple mehod consss o smulae normal dsrbuons: If, n, are ndependen sandard Gaussan varables, and f we defne he sequence: S 0 = 0, S n+ = S n + δ n hen S 0, S,, S n has he same dsrbuon as : W 0, W δ, W 2δ,, W nδ More generally for every funcon gx, gs 0, gs,, gs n has he same dsrbuon as : gw 0, gw δ, gw 2δ,, gw nδ Ths already provdes a way o approxmae numercally European opons n he framework of models wh explc soluons of he EDS governng he underlyng whch s he case of he Black-Scholes model 4-4-

5 Dervave Prcng by Mone Carlo Smulaon of a Brownan moon: In pracce, we mgh need o prce exoc opons wh payoff funcon of he underlyng a predefned nsans 0 = 0 < < < k, requrng smulang one or several Brownan moons a hese nsans To smulae a sandard B.M. a nsans 0 = 0 < < < k : Smulae k rvs ε.. d. N0, Apply he followng scheme: o W = ε o W 2 = W + 2 ε 2 = ε + 2 ε 2 o k o W k = = ε 5-5-

6 Dervave Prcng by Mone Carlo Smulaon whn Black-Scholes model /2: We know ha he soluon of he EDS of he geomerc Brownan s: S = S 0 e r 2 σ2 +σw So f we wan o calculae he prce of a European opon wh payoff H T = g S [0,T], suffces o dvde he me nerval [0,T] n n subnervals of lengh Δ, or o consder predefned nsans < 2 < k dependng on he problem and apply: For each smulaon: Smulae W on [0,T] Apply ransformaon above o ge a smulaon of S on [0,T] Calculae he payoff as gs 0,T The opon prce s hen obaned by akng he arhmec average on smulaons of he dscouned payoff 6-6-

7 Dervave Prcng by Mone Carlo Smulaon whn Black-Scholes model 2/2: Soluon of he Black-Scholes EDS: S = S 0 e r 2 σ2 +σw In pracce, we generally drecly smulae he Brownan moon wh drf appearng n, Z = r 2 σ2 + σw Ths leads e.g. o: Choose Δ = T for some n dependng on he problem n Smulae ε N 0,.. d. =,, n Inalsaon Z 0 = 0 Z Δ = Z Δ + r 2 σ2 Δ + σ Δε S Δ = S 0 e Z Δ 7-7-

8 Dervave Prcng by Mone Carlo Example: fxed srke lookback opon* Maury: T= 5 years, r = 2%, σ = 20% Payoff: max 0,5Y S K + Prce whn BS model based on a dscresaon scheme wh Δ = /250 and smulaons leads o a prce close o Cf. Malab code * Remark ha an analycal formula exss n he BS framework 8-8-

9 Dervave Prcng by Mone Carlo Example: 3.5 Payoff on 000 smulaons

10 0 No all models are characerzed by explc soluons of he EDS of he underlyng asses or raes When he EDS canno be solved analycally, we need o use dscrezaon mehods Le us consder a general Io process: The smples mehod s he Euler dscresaon: We subdvde [0,T] no seps of sze Δ = T N. Euler scheme corresponds o: Dervave Prcng by Mone Carlo 0 0 ~, ~, ~ ~ ~ W W dw d d,,

11 The Euler scheme derves from a smple negraon rule and he defnon of he Io negral One can show ha hs scheme converges n L 2 o he soluon of he EDS, n he followng sense: C > 0 s.. E k k 2 CΔ k {0,,, N } Maruyama, 955 Dervave Prcng by Mone Carlo,, :,,, :,, W dw and d d where dw d

12 Dervave Prcng by Mone Carlo If we wan o calculae E[g T ], by he law of large numbers mples, f denoe dfferen ndependen occurrences of, =,, N, hen N N = g T provdes an approxmaon of hs expecaon. One can show ha wn Euler scheme, E g T E g T 0 wh a speed of he order of, where n s he dscrezaon sep n In pracce, a reasonable me sep s he monh n he case of a me horzon of he order of 0-20 years, bu depends on he problem In ha case /2 Take care abou he me un of he model parameers! In general, f gven, all parameers correspond o he year as me un e.g. «annual» volaly ec, bu ake care f you esmae hem from hsorcal daa 2

13 3 Mlsen scheme mproves hs dscrezaon f μ and σ do no depend on me I s based on a Taylor developmen of σx based on Io lemma I consss o he followng approxmaon One can show ha he scheme converges a.s. and n L 2, wh a greaer speed han he Euler scheme ~ ~ 0.5 ~ ~ ~ ~ 2 W dx d W Dervave Prcng by Mone Carlo

17 7 One can also accelerae convergence Ex: anhec varaes whn Euler scheme: In pracce, whn a prcng ool: One generaes only ONE se of random numbers ε N0, per smulaon pah BUT cash-flows payoffs are projeced along he TWO ses of smulaon pahs n parallel Consder hen for each couple of smulaed pah wh he + and wh he - bu he same ε he average payoffs The resul s fnally a smple se of smulaed payoffs, from whch we ake he mean,,,, Dervave Prcng by Mone Carlo

18 Dervave Prcng by Mone Carlo In pracce, opons mgh nvolve also rsk-free neres raes In ha case, we work n a sochasc framework for neres raes, and we wll see ha he general prcng formula becomes: N P E Q payoff exp r s ds where rs denoes he shor rae a me s see laer Mone Carlo prcng becomes hence: P NbSmul NbSmul N payoff scen scen k exp r scen NbSmul NbSmul N scen payoff scen DFso scen 8

19 Smulaons Bascs abou pseudo-random Numbers Generaon In order o perform he Mone-Carlo smulaon of he processes by dscrezaon Euler or oher, we need o be able o generae pseudorandom numbers Example: f = /2 monh, f projecon horzon N = 20 ans, 240 ndependen generaons by scenaro are requres for 0000 generaed scenaros, hs leads o random numbers by Brownan moon presen n an ESG we need o have a pseudo-random numbers generaor wh a suffcen cycle Pre-programmed funcon n numercal sofware lke Malab, SAS, R are n general suffcen for opon prcng: rand, random, ranun, I s mporan however o pay aenon o her cycle, dependng on he number of facors I s becomng nsuffcen f abou 0 9 smulaons of random numbers are requred 9

20 Smulaons Bascs abou pseudo-random Numbers Generaon The frs sep s o consruc pseudo-random numbers followng a unform law on [0,] A well-known mehod consss o use congruenal generaors Smple lnear congruenal generaors: The dea s o choose huge negers a, c, m, and o generae pseudorandom numbers by: ax c mod x u m for a choce of nal seed x. x m 20

21 Smulaons Bascs abou pseudo-random Numbers Generaon Some condons on he numbers a, c, m guaranee ha he generaor wll generae a complee cycle: Complee cycle means ha for any choce of nal seed, he m- subsequen generaed numbers wll all be dfferen If c 0, suffcen condons are gven by: c and m are relavely prme Any prme number dvdng m also dvdes a a s dvsble by 4 f m also s If now c=0 and f m s prme, a complee cycle can be generaed for any seed x 0 f: a m- s a mulple of m a j- s no a mulple of m for any j =,, m 2 2

22 Smulaons Bascs abou pseudo-random Numbers Generaon In pracce, a well known congruenal generaor corresponds o: m = 2 3 = , a = 6807, c=0 Park-Mller generaor Remark: hs choce of m corresponds o he greaes neger ha can be sored n a 32 bs compuer b for he sgn 3 bs for he dgs n a bnary bass, Ths was mporan n he pas when decdng o work wh varables declared n he long neger ype and no wh he double [precson] ype, whch was more effcen n erms of compuaonal speed 22

23 Smulaons Bascs abou pseudo-random Numbers Generaon Oher possbles are gven by: m a =

24 Smulaons Bascs abou pseudo-random Numbers Generaon In pracce, as he sequence of generaed numbers can be arbrarly close o e m, by mulplyng hese by a durng he generaon, we arrve always o an over-flow f we work wh an neger ype n order o avod overflows, s possble o decompose m no: m=a q + r, where r = m mod a. In ha case, we use he fac ha ax mod m a x mod q x r q and ha he second erm above s always equal o m or 0 ax m As he resul s beween 0 and m-, we are sure ha he las erm s equal o m only f : x a x mod q r 0. q x q m 24

25 Smulaons Bascs abou pseudo-random Numbers Generaon Hence, hs decomposon of m never leads o an overflow when workng wh a long neger whn a 32 bs envronmen a 6807; m ; q 27773; r 2836; Seed nalsaon For =:M xx seed mod q; k seed-xx/q; x a * xx - r * k; If x < 0 x x + m; seedx End 25

Ths can also be generalsed n he case ν s no an neger Now, f ν>0, by usng he defnon of a ch-square dsrbuon wh a non neger number of degrees of freedom, we can represen any noncenral ch-square varable wh noncenraly parameer λ as an ordnary.e. cenral ch-square varable wh a random degrees of freedom parameer, where hs sochasc parameer follows acually a Posson dsrbuon wh mean λ/2 2 2N The mehod consss hence n hs case o smulae a cenral varable where N s a Posson dsrbuon '2 2 In clear, f ν>, he varable s smulaed as Z ², where Z s a normal dsrbuon, and f ν s smaller or equal o, as where N s a Posson varable wh mean λ/2 40
