What s a derivative? More complex financial products are derived from simpler products What s not a derivative? tocks, interest rates, FX rates, oil prices, Derivatives are pay off claims somehow based on prices of simpler products or other derivatives Derivatives may be traded via an exchange or directly between two counterparties (OTC: over-the-counter) OTC-Derivatives are based on freely defined agreements between counterparties and may be arbitrarily complex
Example I: Equity Forward Buying (or selling) stocks at some future date Pay off T at maturity (expiry) T Pay off Long position: you bought the stock (Your counterparty is short) Physical ettlment: get tock, pay Cash ettlment: get T Forward Price or trike Price T tock Price T at maturity y( (expiry) T 3
Example II: Plain Vanilla Option Most simple and liquidly traded options (Plain Vanilla) Call Option (Plain Vanilla) Put Option Pay off Pay off Pay off: T Pay off: max, 0 max, 0 T 0 T T T T 4
Example III: Bonus Certificate Getting more than you might expect Full protection against minor losses Pay off Zero strike call Pay off H T = + Everywhere at or above stock price, but still could be sold at current stock price level or below Pa ay off Down and out put H T If Protection level H is hit once before expiry, protection gets lost. Put becomes worthless, if barrier level H is hit once before expiry. H T 5
Even more complex structures There are no limits to complexity Baskets as underlying imple basket products: Pay off depends on total value of basket of stocks Correlation basket products: Pay off depends on performance of single stocks within the baskets, e.g. the stock that performs worst or best, etc. imulation of trading strategies t Quantos Pay off in a currency different from the stock currency Combination with other risk factors (hybrid derivatives) E.g. Convertible Bonds (bonds that could be converted into stocks) 6
tocks now your underlying A tock or hare is the certification of the ownership of a part of a company, the community of shareholders h is the owner of the whole company Issued stock is equivalent to tier 1 equity capital of the corporation The stock may pay a dividend The company can be listed at one or more stock exchanges 7

Time value of money Time is money. But how much money is it? Money today is worth more than the same amount in some distant future Risk of default Missing earned (risk free) interest Cashflow Y at future time T is worth now Y/(1+rT) Discounting Interest earned over time period T: XrT + =X =Y t 9
A note on notation I Compounding of interest rates Usually, interest is paid on a regular basis, e.g. monthly, quarterly or annually If re-invested, the compounding effect is significant Number of years Compoundings per year r r r 1 1 1 1 m m m nm times r m nm 10
A note on notation II The Continuous compounding limit Continuous compounding is the limit of compounding in infinitesimal short time periods nm r rt lim 1 e, m m nconst. T n e rt Value of one unit at future time T as of today t=0. Also: discount factor or zero bond r: continuous compounding rate This mathematically convenient notation is used throughout the rest of the talk. It is also most often assumed in papers on finance. 11
Example I: valuation of the Forward contract First Try: Forward value based on expectation 1. tep: Calculate expectation of forward pay off E T E e T T 0. tep: Discount expected pay off to today V E Forward T e 0 e r rt Fair price for new contract: e TT 0 To avoid losses, bank would have either 1. sell as many Forwards with same strike and maturity as they buy. or have to rely on the correctness of the above formula on average 1
Arbitrage Making money out of nothing Arbitrage is the art of earning money (immediately) without taking risk Example: Buy stock at 10 and sell at 15 Because of bid/ask-spreads, spreads broker buys at 10 and sells at 10.0505 0.05 in this example is the broker fee ince money earned by arbitrage is easy money, market participants p will take immediate advantage of arbitrage opportunities If the markets are efficient, there are no opportunities for arbitrage If you can replicate a pay off with a strategy built on liquidly traded instruments, this must be the fair value of the pay off > there is no free lunch! 13
Example I: valuation of the Forward contract I Replicating the Forward agreement Assumption: 0 e rt 1. tep: Borrow at interest rate r for term T the money amount rt B e. tep: Buy the stock and put the rest of the money aside: rt A e 3. tep: At time T, loan has compounded to : e rt B 4. tep: Exchange stock with strike and pay back loan 0 Amount A has been earned arbitrage free! To avoid arbitrage, the fair strike must be e rt 0 14
Example I: valuation of the Forward contract II Lessons learned V Forward 0 e rt The real world expectation of at future time t doesn t matter at all! Hedged counterparties face no market risk Credit risk remains Value of the Forward is equal to the financing cost No fee for bearing market risk Required assumptions: No arbitrage Possible to get loan at risk-free interest rate 15
Adding optionality For options, the distribution function matters Plain Vanilla option: cut off distribution function at strike Pay off European Call option pay off: max, T 0 T T Q: Is there any arbitrage free replication strategy to finance these pay offs? T 16

Replication portfolio for general claims Replicate option pay off by holding portfolio of cash account and stock Ansatz: V B x with db rbdt Changes in option fair value V dv V V t 1 V dt V dw rbdt x dt x dw V Choose x and insert for B V x V t 1 V rb rv r V With this choice of x, the stochastic term vanishes 18
A closer look at the Black-choles PDE The arbitrage free PDE of general claims rv V t r V 1 V Final equation does not depend on µ Replication portfolio is self-financing Additional terms for deterministic dividends have been neglected With time dependent r=r(t) or σ=σ(t), the PDE is still valid 19

Trinomial trees Two-step binomial tree or explicit finite difference scheme ey features of trinomial trees 6 free parameters (three different states, two probabilities, one time step) Otherwise, approach is similar to binomial i trees More flexibility than binomial tree Faster convergence (two time steps in one) For certain geometries, trinomial trees are identical to explicit finite difference method 6
Finite differences olving the PDE on a rectangular grid Application of finite difference method 1. Choose one of the well established finite it difference schemes for PDEs of the parabolic type (diffusion equation), e.g. explicit or implicit Euler scheme or Crank Nicholson scheme. Discretise PDE on a rectangular lattice according to finite difference scheme 3. Apply pay off function as final boundary condition 4. Depending on option type, apply Dirichlet or (generalised) von Neumann (e.g. second order derivative is zero) conditions on upper and lower boundaries 5. Roll back throw lattice to get solution 7

Monte Carlo simulation The method of last means If everything else false, use Monte Carlo simualtion Easy to implement, but bad performance Typical applications: Underlying is basket of underlying (e.g. many dimension) Multi-factor problems Path dependent problems Implementation methods imulate stochastic differential using small time steps Better: Integrate of longer time period and draw random numbers directly from log-normal distribution function Calculate pay off based on simulated stock prices and discount to today 9
Assumptions Which of these assumptions hold in reality? There are no transaction costs No, there are bid-ask preads Continuous trading is possible Markets have infinite liquidity Dividends id d are deterministic i ti Markets are arbitrage free Volatility has only termstructure tocks follow log-normal Brownian motion There is no counterparty risk No, due to technical limitations No, problem for small caps No, company performance dependent d Almost, because of transaction costs No, volatility depends on strike and term No, only approximately, problems of fat tails No, as the last crisis has shown Everybody can finance at risk-free rate No, financing depends varies broadly 30
Volatility smile Volitility depends on strike ( moneyness ) and expiry mile vanishes for long expiries tility Volat At-the-money: pot equals trike Using Black-choles: putting the wrong number (i.e. volatility) into the wrong formula to get the right price. 31
Local volatility surface Transform σ(,t) into σ(,t) When moves, local volatility moves in wrong direction tility Volat tructure is much more complex Local Volatility: Allows for fit to the whole volatility surface, but behaves badly. till, it is widely used. 3
Examples of other methods of modelling volatility I More advanced volatility models Displaced diffusion Assume +d instead of to follow the lognormal process Jumps d ( d) r( d) dt ( d) dw Add additional stochastic Poisson process to spot process d ( r ) dt dw dj Poisson process Rate of poisson process or jump intensity Relative jump size 33
Other methods of modelling volatility II More advanced volatility models tochastic Volatility Model volatility as second stochastic factors, e.g. Heston model Instantaneous variance Wiener processes with correlation ρ d rdt dw d ( ) dt dw Mean reversion rate Long term average variance Volatility of volatility Local-toch-Vol Combination of local volatility and stochastic volatility 34
Dividends I Dividend payments: interest equivalent for equities Dividends compensate the shareholder for providing money (equity) ome companies don t pay dividends, most pay annually, some even more often In general, dividend is paid a few days after the (annual) shareholder meeting Dividend id d payment amount is loosely l related to the company s P&L Regardless of the above, most models assume deterministic dividends i.e. Dividend amount or rate and payment date are known and fixed 35
Dividends II Three methods of modeling dividends Continuous dividend yield q: continuous payment of dividend payment proportional to current stock price Unrealistic, but mathematically easy to handle Discrete proportional dividends: dividend is paid at dividend payment date, amount of dividend is proportional to stock price Tries to model dividend s loose dependency on P&L (assuming P&L and stock price to be strongly correlated) Discrete fixed dividends: fixed dividend amount is paid at dividend payment date Causes headaches for the quant (i.e. the person in charge of modelling the fair value of the derivative) 36
Dividends III Impact of dividends on stock process I Continuous dividend yield: d Discrete dividends qdt dw 1. Method: ubtract dividend value from and model without dividends proportional dividends fixed dividends * 1 n D i i1 * n i1 e rt i Di 37
Dividends III Impact of dividends on stock process II Discrete dividends. Method: Modelling (deterministic) jumps in the stochastic process with jump conditions defined as Proportional dividend Fixed dividend t t 1 D i t i ti Di i i Methods 1 and assume different stochastic processes, i.e. the volatilities are different! 38

Impact of dividends on derivative prices Currently, no well-established established model for stochastic dividends Dividends can be hedged, but not (easily) modelled d stochastically Impact on option price is significant Trick: use dividends to hide option costs Pay off H T Everywhere at or above stock price, but still could be sold at current stock price level since between today and T lies a stream of dividend payments! 4
