Assignment for Module 3
Summer 2023
Instructions: This is a mini project on the use of the Monte carlo scheme to price exotic options to be completed using python. c++ is also allowed, but Excel/VBA is not permitted. As this is the half way point of the cQF, this assessment is designed for delegates to show independence and maturity in interpretation of a slightly open ended problem. It will test
. inding and understanding the relevant lectures, python labs and tutorials in module 3; as well as the python primer.
. ability to experiment and demonstrate initiative in mathematical and numerical methods.
. willingness to work outside narrow instruction that are typical of maths based tests/exams.

Task
use the expected value of the discounted payof under the risk-neutral density Q
V (S, t) = e-r(T-t)E。 [payof (ST )]
for the appropriate form of payof, to consider Asian and lookback options.
use the Euler-Maruyama (only) scheme for initially simulating the underlying stock price. As an initial example you may use the following set of sample data
Todayís stock price S0 = 100
strike E = 100
Time to expiry (T 一 t) = 1 year
volatility σ = 20%
constant risk-free interest rate T = 5%
Then vary the data to see the afect on the option price. your completed assignment should centre on a report to include:
Mark scheme
Outline of the inance problem and numerical procedure used 20%
Results - appropriate tables and comparisons 35%
Any interesting observations and problems encountered 25%
Conclusion 15%
References 5%
. outline of the inance problem and numerical procedure used.
. Results - appropriate tables and comparisons.
. Any interesting observations and problems encountered.
. conclusion and references
For a python Jupyter Notebook, a detailed notebook will become the complete report (write- up, code, results).
