THE DELTA OF AN
ARITHMETIC ASIAN OPTION
VIA THE PATHWISE METHOD
Anna Borisova
University of Bocconi
1/12/2014
Assignment
1. Compute the Monte Carlo simulation for the
price of an Asian option on a lognormal
asset (with descrete monitoring at dates
t1, t2, … , tM);
2. Provide the pathwise estimate of the Delta of
these options.

❏ Output.
The price of an Asian option by MCS
An Asian option (call) has discounted payoff:
Y = e-rT
[S - K]+
S =
1
m
S(ti )
i=1
m
å For fixed dates 0<t1<…<tm<T
Since for Monte Carlo simulation we describe the risk-neutral dynamics of the stock price, we
need to use the stochastic differential equation for modeling the price movement of the
underlying asset
S(T) = S(0)exp([r -
1
2
s 2
]T +sW(T))
Where W(T) is the random variable,
normally distributed with mean 0 and
variance T.
S(T) = S(0)exp([r -
1
2
s 2
]T +sW(T))
Monte Carlo simulation of the
lognormal asset price movement
Model:
S = 100, r = 0.045, σ=15%,
trials = 100000
For fixed dates 0<t1<…<tm<T
Constructing the Brownian motion
The properties of Brownian motion:
• W(0) = 0;
• The increments {W(t1)-W(t0), W(t2)-W(t1), … , W(tk)-W(tk-1)} are independent;
• W(t) – W(s) is normally distributed N(0, t-s) for any 0 ≤ s < t ≤ T.
S(t) = S(0)exp([r -0.5s 2

The pathwise estimator of the option
delta
This estimator has great practical value
• This estimator is unbiased;
• mean(S) is simulated in estimating the price of the option also, so finding the delta
requires just a little additional effort;
• This method reduces variance and computing time compared to finite-difference.

  • 13. The pathwise estimator of the option delta This estimator has great practical value • This estimator is unbiased; • mean(S) is simulated in estimating the price of the option also, so finding the delta requires just a little additional effort; • This method reduces variance and computing time compared to finite-difference. dY dS(0) = dY dS dS dS(0) = e-rT 1{S > K} S S(0) dS dS(0) = 1 m dS(ti ) dS(0) = 1 m S(ti ) S(0) = i=1 m å i=1 m å S S(0) dY dS(0) = e-rT 1{S > K} S S(0)
