4 Exponential semimartingale model B T = (Ω, F, F, P) stochastic basis, where F = F T and F = (F t) t T. Price process of a financial asset as exponential semimartingale S t = S e H t, t T. (1) H = (H t) t T semimartingale with canonical representation H = B + H c + h(x) (µ H ν) + (x h(x)) µ H. (2) For the processes B, C = H c, and the measure ν we use the notation T(H P) = (B, C, ν) which is called the triplet of predictable characteristics of H. c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 3

5 Alternative model description E(X) = (E(X) t) t T stochastic exponential where Note S t = E( e H) t, t T ds t = S t d e H t eh t = H t + 1 Z t Z 2 Hc t + (e x 1 x)µ H (ds, dx) R E( H) e t = exp eht 1 2 e Y H c t <s t (1 + e H s) exp( e H s) Asset price positive only if e H > 1. c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 4

6 Martingale modeling Let M loc(p) be the class of local martingales. Assumption (ES) The process 1 {x>1} e x ν has bounded variation. Then S = S e H M loc(p) B + C 2 + (ex 1 h(x)) ν =. (3) Throughout, we assume that P is an equivalent martingale measure for S. By the Fundamental Theorem of Asset Pricing, the value of an option on S equals the discounted expected payoff under this martingale measure. We assume zero interest rates. c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 5

7 Supremum and infimum processes Let X = (X t) t T be a stochastic process. Denote by X t = sup X u and X t = inf u t u t Xu the supremum and infimum process of X respectively. Since the exponential function is monotone and increasing S T = sup S t = sup S e H t = S e sup t T H t = S e H T. (4) t T t T Similarly S T = S e H T. (5) c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 6

8 formulas payoff functional We want to price an option with payoff Φ(S t, t T ), where Φ is a measurable, non-negative functional. Separation of payoff function from the underlying process: Example Fixed strike lookback option (S T K ) + = (S e H T K ) + = `e H T +log S K + 1 The payoff function is an arbitrary function f : R R +; for example f (x) = (e x K ) + or f (x) = 1 {e x >B}, for K, B R +. 2 The underlying process denoted by X, can be the log-asset price process or the supremum/infimum or an average of the log-asset price process (e.g. X = H or X = H). c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 7

9 formulas Consider the option price as a function of S or better of s = log S X driving process (X = H, H, H, etc.) Φ(S e H t, t T ) = f (X T s) Time- price of the option (assuming r ) V f (X; s) = EˆΦ(S t, t T ) = E[f (X T s)] formulas based on Fourier and Laplace transforms Carr and Madan (1999) Raible (2) plain vanilla options general payoffs, Lebesgue densities In these approaches: Some sort of continuity assumption (payoff or random variable) c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 8

10 formulas assumptions M XT moment generating function of X T g(x) = e Rx f (x) (for some R R) dampened payoff function L 1 bc(r) bounded, continuous functions in L 1 (R) Assumptions (C1) (C2) (C3) g L 1 bc(r) M XT (R) exists bg L 1 (R) c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 9

11 formulas Theorem Assume that (C1) (C3) are in force. Then, the price V f (X; s) of an option on S = (S t) t T with payoff f (X T ) is given by Z V f (X; s) = e Rs e ius ϕ XT ( u ir) 2π b f (u + ir)du, (6) R where ϕ XT denotes the extended characteristic function of X T and b f denotes the Fourier transform of f. c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 1

12 Discussion of assumptions Alternative choice: (C1 ) g L 1 (R) (C3 ) er. P XT L 1 (R) (C3 ) = e R. P XT has a cont. bounded Lebesgue density Recall: (C3) bg L 1 (R) Sobolov space Lemma H 1 (R) = g L 2 (R) g exists and g L 2 (R) g H 1 (R) = bg L 1 (R) Similar for the Sobolev Slobodeckij space H S (R) (s > 1 ) 2 c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 11

13 Examples of payoff functions Example (Call and put option) Call payoff f (x) = (e x K ) +, K R +, b f (u + ir) = K 1+iu R (iu R)(1 + iu R), R I 1 = (1, ). (7) Similarly, if f (x) = (K e x ) +, K R +, b f (u + ir) = K 1+iu R (iu R)(1 + iu R), R I 1 = (, ). (8) c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 12

14 Example (Digital option) Call payoff 1 {e x >B}, B R +. b f (u + ir) = B iu R 1 iu R, R I 1 = (, ). (9) Similarly, for the payoff f (x) = 1 {e x <B}, B R +, b f (u + ir) = B iu R 1 iu R, R I 1 = (, ). (1) Example (Double digital option) The payoff of a double digital option is 1 {B<e x <B}, B, B R+. b 1 f (u + ir) = B iu R B iu R, R I 1 = R\{}. (11) iu R c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 13

15 Example (Asset-or-nothing digital) Payoff Similarly f (x) = e x 1 {e x >B} b f (u + ir) = 1 + iu R, R I 1 = (1, ) f (x) = e x 1 {e x <B} b f (u + ir) = B 1+iu R B 1+iu R 1 + iu R, R I 1 = (, 1) Example (Self-quanto option) Call payoff f (x) = e x (e x K ) + b f (u + ir) = K 2+iu R (1 + iu R)(2 + iu R), R I 1 = (2, ) c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 14

16 Non-path-dependent options European option on an asset with price process S t = e H t Examples: call, put, digitals, asset-or-nothing, double digitals, self-quanto options X T H T, i.e. we need ϕ HT Generalized hyperbolic model (GH model): Eberlein, Keller (1995), Eberlein, Keller, Prause (1998), Eberlein (21) ϕ H1 (u) = e iuµ α 2 β 2 λ/2 K λ `δp α2 (β + iu) 2 α 2 (β + iu) 2 K λ`δp α2 β 2 I 2 = ( α β, α β) ϕ HT (u) = (ϕ H1 (u)) T similar: NIG, CGMY, Meixner c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 15

17 Non-path-dependent options II Stochastic volatility Lévy models: Carr, Geman, Madan, Yor (23) Eberlein, Kallsen, Kristen (23) Stochastic clock Y t = e.g. CIR process Z t y sds (y s > ) dy t = K (η y t)dt + λy 1/2 t dw t Define for a pure jump Lévy process X = (X t) t Then H t = X Yt ( t T ) ϕ Ht (u) = ϕ Yt ( iϕ Xt (u)) (ϕ Yt ( iuϕ Xt ( i))) iu c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 16

21 Theorem Options on multiple assets (cont.) If the asset price processes are modeled as exponential semimartingale processes such that S i M loc(p) (1 i d) and conditions (A1) (A3) are in force, then V f (X; s) = e R,s (2π) d Z R d e i u,s M XT (R + iu) b f (ir u)du Remark When the payoff function is discontinuous and the driving process does not possess a Lebesgue density L 2 -limit result c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 2

24 Lévy processes Let L = (L t) t T be a Lévy process with triplet of local characteristics (b, c, λ), i.e. B t(ω) = bt, C t(ω) = ct, ν(ω; dt, dx) = dtλ(dx), λ Lévy measure. Assumption (EM) There exists a constant M > 1 such that Z e ux λ(dx) <, { x >1} u [ M, M]. Using (EM) and Theorems 25.3 and in Sato (1999), we get that for all u [ M, M]. Eˆe ul t <, Eˆe ul t < and Eˆe ul t < c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 23

25 On the characteristic function of the supremum I Proposition Let L = (L t) t T be a Lévy process that satisfies assumption (EM). Then, the characteristic function ϕ Lt of L t has an analytic extension to the half plane {z C : M < Iz < } and can be represented as a Fourier integral in the complex domain ϕ Lt (z) = Eˆe izl Z t = e izx P Lt (dx). R c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 24

26 Fluctuation theory for Lévy processes Theorem (Extension of Wiener Hopf to the complex plane) Let L be a Lévy process. The Laplace transform of L at an independent and exponentially distributed time θ, θ Exp(q), can be identified from the Wiener Hopf factorization of L via Eˆe βl θ = Z qe[e βl t ]e qt dt = κ(q, ) κ(q, β) (13) for q > α (M) and β {β C R(β) > M} where κ(q, β), is given by Z Z κ(q, β) = k exp (e t e qt βx ) 1 «t P L t (dx) dt. (14) c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 25

27 On the characteristic function of the supremum II Theorem Let L = (L t) t T be a Lévy process satisfying assumption (EM). The Laplace transform of L t at a fixed time t, t [, T ], is given by Eˆe βl 1 t = lim A 2π Z A A t(y +iv) e κ(y + iv, ) dv, (15) Y + iv κ(y + iv, β) for Y > α (M) and β C with Rβ ( M, ). Remark Note that β = iz provides the characteristic function. c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 26

28 Application to lookback options Fixed strike lookback call: (S T K ) + (analogous for lookback put). Combining the results, we get C T (S; K ) = 1 Z S R iu K 1+iu R ϕ 2π LT ( u ir) du (16) R (iu R)(1 + iu R) where ϕ LT ( u ir) = lim A Z 1 A 2π A for R (1, M) and Y > α (M). T (Y +iv) e Y + iv κ(y + iv, ) dv (17) κ(y + iv, iu R) The floating strike lookback option, ( S T S T ) +, is treated by a duality formula (Eb., Papapantoleon (25)). c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 27

29 One-touch options One-touch call option: 1 {ST >B}. Driving Lévy process L is assumed to have infinite variation or has infinite activity and is regular upwards. L satisfies assumption (EM), then DC T (S; B) = lim A Z 1 A S R+iu 2π A ϕ LT (u ir) B R iu du (18) R + iu = P(L T > log(b/s )) for R (, M). c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 28

31 Basic interest rates B(t,T ): price at time t [, T ] of a default-free zero coupon bond with maturity T [, T ] (B(T,T ) = 1) f (t,t ): instantaneous forward rate B(t,T ) = exp R T f (t,u) du t L(t,T ): default-free forward Libor rate for the interval T to T + δ as of time t T (δ-forward Libor rate) L(t,T ) := 1 B(t,T ) 1 δ B(t,T +δ) F B (t,t,u): forward price process for the two maturities T < U F B (t,t,u) := B(t,T ) B(t,U) = 1 + δl(t,t ) = B(t,T ) B(t,T + δ) = F B(t,T,T + δ) c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 3

32 Dynamics of the forward rates (Eb Raible (1999), Eb Özkan (23), Eb Jacod Raible (25), Eb Kluge (26) df (t, T ) = α(t, T ) dt σ(t, T ) dl t ( t T T ) α(t, T ) and σ(t, T ) satisfy measurability and boundedness conditions and α(s, T ) = σ(s, T ) = for s > T Define A(s, T ) = Z T s T α(s, u) du and Σ(s, T ) = Assume Σ i (s, T ) M (1 i d) Z T s T σ(s, u) du For most purposes we can consider deterministic α and σ c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 31

33 Implications Savings account and default-free zero coupon bond prices are given by Z 1 t Z t «B t = B(, t) exp A(s, T ) ds Σ(s, t) dl s and Z t Z t «B(t, T ) = B(, T )B t exp A(s, T ) ds + Σ(s, T ) dl s. If we choose A(s, T ) = θ s(σ(s, T )), then bond prices, discounted by the savings account, are martingales. In case d = 1, the martingale measure is unique (see Eberlein, Jacod, and Raible (24)). c Eberlein, Uni Freiburg, 32
