11 Introduction Definitions An option is a financial security that gives the holder the right to buy or sell a specified quantity of a specified asset at a specified price on or before a specified date. Principle of no arbitrage: a mathematical model of a financial market should not allow for arbitrage possibility ISPMAM workshop 2017, Mälardalen University April 26, / 18

12 Introduction Definitions An option is a financial security that gives the holder the right to buy or sell a specified quantity of a specified asset at a specified price on or before a specified date. Principle of no arbitrage: The possibility of making profit in financial market without risk and without net investment of capital. ISPMAM workshop 2017, Mälardalen University April 26, / 18

14 Introduction Lattice models A lattice/tree model is used to discretize the life of a derivative (e.g. an option) into a number of time steps and model the underlying asset dynamics at each time step. ISPMAM workshop 2017, Mälardalen University April 26, / 18

15 Introduction Lattice models A lattice/tree model is used to discretize the life of a derivative (e.g. an option) into a number of time steps and model the underlying asset dynamics at each time step. The financial derivative can then be evaluated using backward induction. ISPMAM workshop 2017, Mälardalen University April 26, / 18

16 Introduction Lattice models A lattice/tree model is used to discretize the life of a derivative (e.g. an option) into a number of time steps and model the underlying asset dynamics at each time step. The financial derivative can then be evaluated using backward induction. Useful for dealing with nonstandard payoff functions and checking early exercising possibilities for American-style derivatives. ISPMAM workshop 2017, Mälardalen University April 26, / 18
