This paper proposes a new hedging scheme of European derivatives under uncertain volatility environments, in which a weighted variance swap called the polynomial variance swap is added to the Black-Scholes delta hedging for managing exposure to volatility risk. In general, under these...

This paper proposes a new scheme for the static replication of European options and their portfolios. First, we derive a general approximation formula for efficient static replication as an extension of Carr and Chou [1997, 2002] and Carr and Wu [2002]. Second, we present a concrete procedure...

This paper proposes a new scheme for static hedging of European path-independent derivatives under stochastic volatility models. First, we show that pricing European path-independent derivatives under stochastic volatility models is transformed to pricing those under one-factor local volatility...

This paper presents a new approximation formula for pricing swaptions and caps/floors under the Libor market model of interest rates (LMM) with the local and affine-type stochastic volatility. In particular, two approximation methods are applied in pricing, one of which is so called...

This paper proposes a pricing method of currency options with a market model of interest rates. Using a simple approximation and a Fourier transform method, we derive a formula of the option pricing under jump-diffusion stochastic volatility processes of spot exchange rates. As an application,...

In this paper, we propose an efficient Monte Carlo implementation of a non-linear FBSDE as a system of interacting particles inspired by the idea of the branching diffusion method of McKean. It will be particularly useful to investigate large and complex systems, and hence it is a good...

This paper provides a survey on an asymptotic expansion approach to valuation and hedging problems in nance. The asymptotic expansion is a widely applicable methodology for analytical approximations of expectations of certain Wiener functionals. Hence not only academic researchers but also...

This paper develops a new scheme for improving an approximation method of a probability density function, which is inspired by the idea in the Hilbert space projection theorem. Moreover, we apply "Dykstra’s cyclic projections algorithm" for its implementation. Numerical examples for...
