3 Exponential semimartingale model Let B T = (Ω, F, F, P) be a stochastic basis, where F = F T and F = (F t) 0 t T. We model the price process of a financial asset as an exponential semimartingale S t = e H t, 0 t T. (1) H = (H t) 0 t T is a semimartingale with canonical representation H = H 0 + B + H c + h(x) (µ H ν) + (x h(x)) µ H. (2) Exotic For the 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 the semimartingale H. 2

4 Alternative model description E(X) = (E(X) t) 0 t T stochastic exponential S t = E( e H) t, 0 t T where 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) 0 R Exotic Note E( H) e t = exp( H e t 1 2 e H c Y t) (1 + H e s) exp( H e s) Asset price positive only if e H > 1. 0<s t 3

5 Let M loc(p) be the class of local martingales. Assumption (ES) Martingale modeling The process 1 {x>1} e x ν has bounded variation. Then S = e H M loc(p) B + C 2 + (ex 1 h(x)) ν = 0. (3) Exotic Throughout, we assume that P is a (local) martingale measure for S. By the Fundamental Theorem of Asset Pricing, the value of an option on S equals the discounted expected under a martingale measure. We assume zero interest rates. 4

6 Supremum and infimum Let X = (X t) 0 t T be a stochastic process. We denote by X t = sup X u and X t = inf 0 u t 0 u t Xu the supremum and infimum process of X respectively. Since the exponential function is monotone and increasing S T = sup 0 t T S t = sup 0 t T e H t = e sup 0 t T H t = e H T. (4) Exotic Similarly S T = e H T. (5) 5

7 formulae functional We want to price an option with f (X T ), where X T = p(h t, 0 t T ) is an F T -measurable functional. The functionals we consider are European style, and consist of two parts: 1 The 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 can be the asset price or the supremum/infimum or an average of the asset price process (e.g. X = H or X = H). Exotic Exotic 6

8 Assumptions: formulae assumptions (R1) Assume that R R e Rx f (x)dx < for all R I 1 R. (R2) Assume that M XT (z) = E[e zx T ] <, for all z I 2 R. (R3) Assume that I 1 I 2. formulae based on Fourier transforms; similar to Raible (2000), but no need for Lebesgue density. Consider the Fourier transform of the function like Borovkov and Novikov (2002); also Hubalek et al. (2006) and Černý (2007), for hedging. Carr and Madan (1999) and Raible (2000) transform the option price. Exotic 7

9 Theorem 1 formulae Assume that (R1) (R3) are in force. Then, the price V f (X) of an option on S = (S t) 0 t T with f (X T ) is given by V f (X) = 1 Z ϕ XT ( u ir)f f (u + ir)du, (6) 2π R where ϕ XT denotes the extended characteristic function of X T and F f denotes the Fourier transform of f. Proof Introduce the dampened function g(x) = e Rx f (x), R I 1. Then Z V f (X) = E[f (X T )] = E[e RX T g(x T )] = e Rx g(x)p XT (dx). (7) R Exotic cont. next page 8

10 Proof (cont.) Under assumption (R1), g has a Fourier transform F g; inverting it, we get a representation as g(x) = 1 Z e ixu F g(u)du. (8) 2π R Returning to the valuation problem (7) we get Z V f (X) = R = 1 2π = 1 2π Z! e Rx 1 e ixu F g(u)du P XT (dx) 2π R Z Z! Z R R R e i( u ir)x P XT (dx) F g(u)du ϕ XT ( u ir)f f (u + ir)du. (9) Exotic 9

11 formulae II formulae for that depend on two functionals of the driving process. Examples: barrier, slide-in or corridor and two-asset correlation option (S T K ) + 1 {ST >B} ; (S T K ) + N X i=1 1 {L<STi <H}; Exotic (S 1 T K ) + 1 {S 2 T >B}. 10

12 Theorem 2 formulae II The price V f,g (X, Y ) of an option on S = (S t) 0 t T with function f (X T )g(y T ) is given by V f,g (X, Y ) = 1 Z Z ϕ 4π 2 XT,Y T ( u ir 1, v ir 2 ) R R F g(v + ir 2 )F f (u + ir 1 )dvdu, (10) where ϕ XT,Y T denotes the extended characteristic function of the random vector (X T, Y T ). Exotic Proof. Assumptions and proof are similar to Theorem 1. 11

13 Example (Call and put option) Call f (x) = (e x K ) +, K R +, F f (u + ir) = Similarly, if f (x) = (K e x ) +, K R +, K 1+iu R (iu R)(1 + iu R), R I 1 = (1, ). (11) Exotic F f (u + ir) = K 1+iu R (iu R)(1 + iu R), R I 1 = (, 0). (12) 12

14 Example (Digital option) Call 1 {e x >B}, B R +. F f (u + ir) = B iu R 1 iu R, R I 1 = (0, ). (13) Similarly, for the f (x) = 1 {e x <B}, B R +, F f (u + ir) = B iu R 1 iu R, R I 1 = (, 0). (14) Exotic Example (Double digital option) The of a double digital call option is 1 {B<e x <B}, B, B R+. F f (u + ir) = 1 B iu R B iu R, R I 1 = R\{0}. (15) iu R 13

15 Example (Asset-or-nothing digital) Call Put f (x) = e x 1 {e x >B} F f (u + ir) = 1 + iu R, R I 1 = (1, ) f (x) = e x 1 {e x <B} F f (u + ir) = B1+iu R B1+iu R 1 + iu R, R I 1 = (, 1) Exotic Example (Self-quanto option) Call f (x) = e x (e x K ) + F f (u + ir) = K 2+iu R (1 + iu R)(2 + iu R), R I 1 = (2, ) 14

16 Let L = (L t) 0 t T be a 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 measure. Assumption (EM) There exists a constant M > 1 such that Z e ux λ(dx) <, { x >1} u [ M, M]. Exotic 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 < 15

17 Lemma 3 On the characteristic function of the supremum I Let L = (L t) 0 t T be a process that satisfies assumption (EM). Then, the moment generating function of L t is defined for all u (, M] and t [0, T ]. Lemma 4 Let L = (L t) 0 t T be a process that satisfies assumption (EM). Then, the characteristic function ϕ Lt of L t is holomorphic in 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 Exotic 16

18 Fluctuation theory for Theorem 5 (Wiener Hopf factorization) Let L be a process. The Laplace transform of L at an independent and exponentially distributed time θ can be identified from the Wiener Hopf factorization of L via Eˆe βl θ = κ(q, 0) κ(q, β) (16) where κ(α, β), α 0, β 0, is given by Z Z κ(α, β) = k exp (e t e αt βx ) 1 «t P L t (dx) dt. (17) 0 0 Exotic Moreover, κ can be analytically extended to α, β C with Rα 0 and Rβ M. Proof. Theorem 6.16 in Kyprianou (2006). 17

19 Lemma 6 Linking fixed and exponential times Let L = (L t) 0 t T be a process that satisfies assumption (EM) and consider β C with Rβ [ M, ). The Laplace transforms of L t, t [0, T ] and L θ, θ Exp(q), are related via Eˆe βl θ = q Z 0 e qt Eˆe βl t dt. (18) Moreover, the Laplace transform of L θ is finite for β C with Rβ [ M, ). Exotic Proof. An application of Fubini s theorem yields Eˆe βl h Z i θ = E qe qt e βl t dt = q Z 0 0 e qt Eˆe βl t dt. 18

20 Theorem 7 On the characteristic function of the supremum II Let L = (L t) 0 t T be a process. The Laplace transform of L t at a fixed time t, t [0, T ], is given by Eˆe βl t = 1 Z t(y +iv) e κ(y + iv, 0) dv, (19) 2π Y + iv κ(y + iv, β) R for Y > 0. Moreover, the Laplace transform can be extended to the complex plane for β C with Rβ [ M, ). Exotic Proof. Combining eqs. (16) and (18) we get q Z 0 e qt E[e βl t ] dt = κ(q, 0) κ(q, β). (20) Applying Doetsch (1950), we invert the Laplace transform and the claim follows. 19

21 Non-path-dependent European option on an asset with price process S t = e H t Examples: call, put, digitals, asset-or-nothing, double digitals, self-quanto X t H T, i.e. we need ϕ HT Generalized hyperbolic model (GH model): 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 Exotic I 2 = ( α β, α β) ϕ HT (u) = (ϕ H1 (u)) T similar: NIG, CGMY, Meixner 20

22 Non-path-dependent II Stochastic volatility models: Carr, Geman, Madan, Yor (2003) Stochastic clock Y t = e.g. CIR process Z t 0 y sds (y s > 0) dy t = K (η y t)dt + λy 1/2 t dw t Define for a pure jump process X = (X t) t 0 Exotic Then H t = X Yt (0 t T ) ϕ Ht (u) = ϕ Yt ( iϕ Xt (u)) (ϕ Yt ( iuϕ Xt ( i))) iu 21

23 Lookback Fixed strike lookback option: (S T K ) +. Combining Theorem 1 and Theorem 7, we get C T (S; K ) = 1 Z K 1+iu R ϕ 2π LT ( u ir) du (21) R (iu R)(1 + iu R) where ϕ LT ( u ir) = 1 Z 2π R T (Y +iv) e Y + iv κ(y + iv, 0) dv. (22) κ(y + iv, iu R) Exotic The floating strike lookback option, ( S T S T ) +, is treated by a duality formula. 22

24 Payoff of a put: Floating strike lookback (1) + β sup S t S T for a 0 < β 1 0 t T Assume H = (H t ) 0 t T satisfies Law H T inf t T H t P = Law sup H t P t T (holds for ), then P T (β sup S; S) = βc T sup S ; 1 β Exotic Value of a floating strike lookback put value of a fixed strike lookback call 23

25 Payoff of a call: Floating strike lookback (2) + S T α inf 0 t T St for an α 1 Assume H = (H t ) 0 t T satisfies the reflection principle Law sup H t H T P = Law( inf t T t T H t P ) (holds for ), then Exotic C T (S; α inf S) = αp T 1 ; inf S α Value of a floating strike lookback call value of a fixed strike lookback put 24

27 One-touch call option: 1 {ST >B}. One-touch Combining Theorem 1, Theorem 7 and the example for digital, we get DC T (S; B) = 1 Z Z 4π 2 R R T (Y +iv) e Y + iv Similarly for the one-touch put option: 1 {ST B}. κ(y + iv, 0) dvdu. (23) κ(y + iv, iu R) R iu B iu R Exotic DP T (S; B) = 1 Z Z 4π 2 R R T (Y +iv) e Y + iv bκ(y + iv, 0) dvdu. (24) bκ(y + iv, iu R) iu R B iu R 26
