1. An Attempt at Pricing Zero-Coupon Bonds under the Vasicek Model with a Mean Reverting Stochastic Volatility Factor
Master-uppsats, KTH/Matematik (Avd.)Sammanfattning : Empirical evidence indicates that the volatility in asset prices is not constant, but varies over time. However, many simple models for asset pricing rest on an assumption of constancy. LÄS MER
2. Investigation of portfolio strategies by means of simulation
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för matematiska vetenskaperSammanfattning : Portfolio insurance strategies are constructed to limit an investors loss but still reward them when the market goes up. In this thesis we compare two portfolio insurance strategies, Constant proportion portfolio insurance (CPPI) and Option based portfolio insurance. LÄS MER
3. Zero Coupon Yield Curve Construction Methods in the European Markets
Master-uppsats, KTH/Matematik (Avd.)Sammanfattning : In this study, four frequently used yield curve construction methods are evaulated on a set of metrics with the aim of determining which method is the most suitable for estimating yield curves from European zero rates. The included curve construction methods are Nelson-Siegel, Nelson-Siegel-Svensson, cubic spline interpolation and forward monotone convex spline interpolation. LÄS MER
4. Volatility- An investigation of the relationship between price- and yield volatility
Master-uppsats, Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för utbildning, kultur och kommunikationSammanfattning : This report investigates the relationship between the yield volatility and the price volatility in the Swedish market. The method given in our report can be used to analyze any market with appropriate data set. We have used a time-series data of interest rate yield curves from Swedish government bonds. LÄS MER
5. Calibrating the Hull-White model using Adjoint Algorithmic Differentiation
Master-uppsats, KTH/Matematisk statistikSammanfattning : This thesis includes a brief introduction to Adjoint Algorithmic Differentiation (AAD), accompanied by numerical examples, step-by-step explanations and runtime comparisons to a finite difference method. In order to show the applicability of AAD in a stochastic setting, it is also applied in the calculation of the arbitrage free price and partial derivatives of a European call option, where the underlying stock has Geometric Brownian motion dynamics.
