Pricing timer options

C Bernard, Z Cui - Journal of Computational Finance, 2011 - papers.ssrn.com
In this paper, we discuss a newly introduced exotic derivative called the “Timer Option”.
Instead of being exercised at a fixed maturity date as a vanilla option, it has a random date of …

On error estimates for asymptotic expansions with Malliavin weights: Application to stochastic volatility model

A Takahashi, T Yamada - Mathematics of Operations …, 2015 - pubsonline.informs.org
This paper proposes a unified method for precise estimates of the error bounds in
asymptotic expansions of an option price and its Greeks (sensitivities) under a stochastic …

Integral representation of probability density of stochastic volatility models and timer options

Z Cui, JL Kirkby, G Lian, D Nguyen - International Journal of …, 2017 - World Scientific
This paper contributes a generic probabilistic method to derive explicit exact probability
densities for stochastic volatility models. Our method is based on a novel application of the …

Pricing Multiasset Cross‐Currency Options

K Shiraya, A Takahashi - Journal of Futures Markets, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
This study develops a general pricing method for multiasset cross‐currency options, whose
underlying asset consists of multiple different assets, and the evaluation currency is different …

Analytic approximation of finite‐maturity timer option prices

M Li, F Mercurio - Journal of Futures Markets, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
We develop an approximation technique for pricing finite‐maturity timer options under
Heston‐like stochastic volatility models. By approximating the distributions of the …

Closed-form approximation of perpetual timer option prices

M Li, F Mercurio - International Journal of Theoretical and Applied …, 2014 - World Scientific
We develop an asymptotic expansion technique for pricing timer options in stochastic
volatility models when the effect of volatility of variance is small. Based on the pricing PDE …

[PDF][PDF] An analytic pricing formula for timer options under constant elasticity of variance with stochastic volatility

SY Choi, D Kim, JH Yoon - AIMS Mathematics, 2024 - aimspress.com
Timer options, which were first introduced by Société Générale Corporate and Investment
Banking in 2007, are financial securities whose payoffs and exercise are determined by a …

Pricing timer options: second-order multiscale stochastic volatility asymptotics

X Wang, SJ Wu, X Yue - The ANZIAM Journal, 2021 - cambridge.org
We study the pricing of timer options in a class of stochastic volatility models, where the
volatility is driven by two diffusions—one fast mean-reverting and the other slowly varying …

Pricing perpetual timer option under the stochastic volatility model of Hull–White

J Zhang, X Lu, Y Han - The ANZIAM Journal, 2017 - cambridge.org
The valuation of perpetual timer options under the Hull–White stochastic volatility model is
discussed here. By exploring the connection between the Hull–White model and the Bessel …
