We tackle the problem of computing fair periodical premiums of an equity-linked policy with a maturity guarantee and an embedded surrender option. We consider the policy as a Bermudan-style contingent claim that can be exercised at the premium payment dates. The evaluation framework is based on...

We consider the problem of pricing step double barrier options with binomial lattice methods. We introduce an algorithm, based on interpolation techniques, that is robust and efficient, that treats the "near barrier" problem for double barrier options and permits the valuation of step double...

We develop a pricing algorithm for US-style period-average reset options written on an underlying asset which evolves in a Cox-Ross-Rubinstein (CRR) framework. The averaging feature of such an option on the reset period makes the price valuation problem computationally unfeasible because the...
