Assignment for Module 3
2022
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
● Önding 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 payo§ under the risk-neutral density Q
V (S;t) = e r(T t)BQ [Payof (ST )]
for the appropriate form of payo§, 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
Strike E = 100
Time to expiry (T 一 t) = 1 year
volatility 7 = 20%
constant risk-free interest rate r = 5%
Then vary the data to see the a§ect on the option price. Your completed assignment should centre on a report to include:
● Outline of the Önance 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).
