Descriptif

This course runs from September to December, 3 hours per week + exercise sessions.

This course provides an overview of derivatives from a modeling and risk management perspective. The markets considered range from traditional markets (stocks/equity indices, interest rates, foreign exchange) to the new crypto-currency markets.

Three speakers are planned for this course:

The derivatives market is an important element in the transfer of market risk between investors (banks, hedge funds, financial institutions,…). The objective of the course is to describe the financial products offered, and the theoretical and practical methods used in the market to value and hedge these financial products. The topics covered are the following.

  3. Fair pricing in discrete time-space market
  4. Continuous-time market with log-normal dynamics (risk management, dynamic portfolio, vanilla option)
  5. Black-Scholes formula, valuation PDE, computation of greeks

II - Some alternatives to lognormal modeling

  1. Implicit distribution from data
  2. Implied volatility
  3. Displaced log-normal model and Bachelier model
  4. Heston model and other Fourier-based pricing model

III – Back to hedging risks

  1. Refinement of Black-Scholes formula
  2. Barrier options
  3. Delta-hedging and Delta-gamma hedging

 

Part II: towards more advanced topics

IV – Hedging risk with several assets in the same currency market

  1. Modelling the volatility
