Exotic Options - Part 5
概要
This eCourse consists of two modules. Module 1 look at how exotic options can be priced using numerical techniques such as the Black-Scholes model (BOPM) and simulation approaches and how path-dependent products can be priced using Monte Carlo simulation. Exotic options are options that have nonstandard payoffs and are unsuitable for pricing using closed-form solutions.
Module 2 looks at some of the main uses of exotic options, including callable asset swaps, portfolio insurance, and structured products.
宗旨
On completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Define the challenges involved in pricing options with nonstandard payoffs
- Recognise how the binomial option pricing model (BOPM) can be used to price American and Bermudan options, as well as exotic options, such as barrier options
- Recall how Monte Carlo simulation can be used to price path-dependent options
- Identify the key applications of exotic options, such as binary options, Bermudan options, barrier options and Asian options
- Recognise the use of exotic options in callable asset swaps, exposure to option sensitivities (“Greeks”), portfolio insurance strategies, and structured notes
