In this paper, we present a generic framework known as the minimal partial proxy simulation scheme. This framework allows for a stable computation of the Monte-Carlo Greeks for financial products with trigger features via finite difference approximation. The minimal partial proxy simulation...

We introduce two new methods to calculate bounds for zero-sum game options using Monte Carlo simulation. These extend and generalise the duality results of Haugh-Kogan/Rogers and Jamshidian to the case where both parties of a contract have Bermudan optionality. It is shown that the...

The problem of developing sensitivities of exotic interest rates derivatives to the observed implied volatilities of caps and swaptions is considered. It is shown how to compute these from sensitivities to model volatilities in the displaced diffusion LIBOR market model. The example of a...

Sensitivity analysis, or so-called 'stress-testing', has long been part of the actuarial contribution to pricing, reserving and management of capital levels in both life and non-life assurance. Recent developments in the area of derivatives pricing have seen the application of adjoint methods to...

We introduce a new class of numerical schemes for discretizing processes driven by Brownian motions. These allow the rapid computation of sensitivities of discontinuous integrals using pathwise methods even when the underlying densities post-discretization are singular. The two new methods...
