Modèle binomialEn finance, le modèle binomial (ou modèle CRR du nom de ses auteurs) fournit une méthode numérique pour l'évaluation des options. Il a été proposé pour la première fois par Cox, Ross et Rubinstein (1979). Le modèle est un modèle discret pour la dynamique du sous-jacent. L'évaluation de l'option est calculée par application de la probabilité risque-neutre pour laquelle les prix actualisés sont des martingales.
Local volatilityA local volatility model, in mathematical finance and financial engineering, is an option pricing model that treats volatility as a function of both the current asset level and of time . As such, it is a generalisation of the Black–Scholes model, where the volatility is a constant (i.e. a trivial function of and ). Local volatility models are often compared with stochastic volatility models, where the instantaneous volatility is not just a function of the asset level but depends also on a new "global" randomness coming from an additional random component.
Volatility smileVolatility smiles are implied volatility patterns that arise in pricing financial options. It is a parameter (implied volatility) that is needed to be modified for the Black–Scholes formula to fit market prices. In particular for a given expiration, options whose strike price differs substantially from the underlying asset's price command higher prices (and thus implied volatilities) than what is suggested by standard option pricing models. These options are said to be either deep in-the-money or out-of-the-money.
Implied volatilityIn financial mathematics, the implied volatility (IV) of an option contract is that value of the volatility of the underlying instrument which, when input in an option pricing model (such as Black–Scholes), will return a theoretical value equal to the current market price of said option. A non-option financial instrument that has embedded optionality, such as an interest rate cap, can also have an implied volatility. Implied volatility, a forward-looking and subjective measure, differs from historical volatility because the latter is calculated from known past returns of a security.
Volatilité stochastiqueLa volatilité stochastique est utilisée dans le cadre de la finance quantitative, pour évaluer des produits dérivés, tels que des options. Le nom provient du fait que le modèle traite la volatilité du sous-jacent comme un processus aléatoire, fonction de variables d'états telles que le prix du sous-jacent, la tendance qu'a la volatilité, à moyen terme, à faire revenir le prix vers une valeur moyenne, la variance du processus de la volatilité, etc.
Volatilité (finance)La volatilité (en finance) est l'ampleur des variations du cours d'un actif financier. Elle sert de paramètre de quantification du risque de rendement et de prix d'un actif financier. Lorsque la volatilité est élevée, la possibilité de gain est plus importante, mais le risque de perte l'est aussi. C'est par exemple le cas de l'action d'une société plus endettée, ou disposant d'un potentiel de croissance plus fort et donc d'un cours plus élevé que la moyenne.
Lattice model (finance)In finance, a lattice model is a technique applied to the valuation of derivatives, where a discrete time model is required. For equity options, a typical example would be pricing an American option, where a decision as to option exercise is required at "all" times (any time) before and including maturity. A continuous model, on the other hand, such as Black–Scholes, would only allow for the valuation of European options, where exercise is on the option's maturity date.
Option styleIn finance, the style or family of an option is the class into which the option falls, usually defined by the dates on which the option may be exercised. The vast majority of options are either European or American (style) options. These options—as well as others where the payoff is calculated similarly—are referred to as "vanilla options". Options where the payoff is calculated differently are categorized as "exotic options". Exotic options can pose challenging problems in valuation and hedging.
Évaluation financièreL'évaluation financière est l'estimation de la valeur (c'est-à-dire du prix potentiel): des actifs et engagements financiers (actions, obligations, options, contrats d'épargne) et des entreprises évaluation d'entreprise) Tout placement financier étant fait dans une optique future, les principaux paramètres d’estimation de la valeur du placement sont les gains que l'on attend et les risques que l'on perçoit. finance, actif financier, évaluation du prix d'une action, évaluation d'option, évaluation financière
Modèle de BlackLe modèle de Black, souvent appelé modèle Black-76, est une variante de Black-Scholes permettant de déterminer le prix d'une option. Il s'agit d'une formule qui permet de calculer le prix des options, contrats à terme, swaption et option sur obligation. Elle fut présenté la première fois par Fischer Black en 1976. La formule du modèle de Black est similaire à celle de Black-Scholes pour évaluer le prix d'une option à l'exception du prix spot qui est remplacé par le prix du contrat à terme dénommé F.
Financial economicsFinancial economics is the branch of economics characterized by a "concentration on monetary activities", in which "money of one type or another is likely to appear on both sides of a trade". Its concern is thus the interrelation of financial variables, such as share prices, interest rates and exchange rates, as opposed to those concerning the real economy. It has two main areas of focus: asset pricing and corporate finance; the first being the perspective of providers of capital, i.e.
PutLe put ou l'option de vente est une option contractuelle de vente par laquelle deux parties s'accordent pour échanger un actif (appelé sous-jacent) à un prix fixé (appelé prix d'exercice ou strike) à une date prédéterminée (dite date de maturité). Une partie, l'acheteur du put, a le droit (non l'obligation) de vendre l'actif sous-jacent au prix d'exercice dans les délais spécifiés tandis que l'autre partie, le vendeur du put, a l'obligation de racheter cet actif au prix d'exercice si l'acheteur décide d'exercer l'option.
OptionEn finance, une option est un produit dérivé qui établit un contrat entre un acheteur et un vendeur. L'acheteur de l'option obtient le droit, et non pas l'obligation, d'acheter (call) ou de vendre (put) un actif sous-jacent à un prix fixé à l'avance (strike), pendant un temps donné ou à une date fixée. Ce contrat peut se faire dans une optique de spéculation sur le prix futur de l'actif sous-jacent, ou d'assurance contre une évolution défavorable de ce prix.
Évaluation d'optionL'évaluation d'une option (un droit d'acheter ou de vendre) est l'estimation de la prime à débourser pour l'acquérir qui représente la probabilité d'exercer celle-ci : plus l'exercice est probable, plus l'option sera chère.
Risk-neutral measureIn mathematical finance, a risk-neutral measure (also called an equilibrium measure, or equivalent martingale measure) is a probability measure such that each share price is exactly equal to the discounted expectation of the share price under this measure. This is heavily used in the pricing of financial derivatives due to the fundamental theorem of asset pricing, which implies that in a complete market, a derivative's price is the discounted expected value of the future payoff under the unique risk-neutral measure.
Rational pricingRational pricing is the assumption in financial economics that asset prices – and hence asset pricing models – will reflect the arbitrage-free price of the asset as any deviation from this price will be "arbitraged away". This assumption is useful in pricing fixed income securities, particularly bonds, and is fundamental to the pricing of derivative instruments. Arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of a state of imbalance between two (or possibly more) markets. Where this mismatch can be exploited (i.
Bond optionIn finance, a bond option is an option to buy or sell a bond at a certain price on or before the option expiry date. These instruments are typically traded OTC. A European bond option is an option to buy or sell a bond at a certain date in future for a predetermined price. An American bond option is an option to buy or sell a bond on or before a certain date in future for a predetermined price. Generally, one buys a call option on the bond if one believes that interest rates will fall, causing an increase in bond prices.
Asian optionAn Asian option (or average value option) is a special type of option contract. For Asian options, the payoff is determined by the average underlying price over some pre-set period of time. This is different from the case of the usual European option and American option, where the payoff of the option contract depends on the price of the underlying instrument at exercise; Asian options are thus one of the basic forms of exotic options.
Fundamental theorem of asset pricingThe fundamental theorems of asset pricing (also: of arbitrage, of finance), in both financial economics and mathematical finance, provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a market to be arbitrage-free, and for a market to be complete. An arbitrage opportunity is a way of making money with no initial investment without any possibility of loss. Though arbitrage opportunities do exist briefly in real life, it has been said that any sensible market model must avoid this type of profit.
Option exotiqueIn finance, an exotic option is an option which has features making it more complex than commonly traded vanilla options. Like the more general exotic derivatives they may have several triggers relating to determination of payoff. An exotic option may also include a non-standard underlying instrument, developed for a particular client or for a particular market. Exotic options are more complex than options that trade on an exchange, and are generally traded over the counter.
