Premia contains various numerical algorithms (Finite-differences, trees and Monte-Carlo) for pricing vanilla and exotic options on equities, interest rate, credit and energy derivatives.
-
The following models are considered:
Black-Scholes model (up to dimension 10), stochastic volatility models (Hull-White, Heston, Fouque-Papanicolaou-Sircar), models with jumps (Merton, Kou, Tempered stable processes, Variance gamma, Normal inverse Gaussian), Bates model.
For high dimensional American options, Premia provides the most recent Monte-Carlo algorithms: Longstaff-Schwartz, Barraquand-Martineau, Tsitsklis-Van Roy, Broadie-Glassermann, quantization methods and Malliavin calculus based methods.
Dynamic Hedging for Black-Scholes and jump models is available.
Calibration algorithms for some models with jumps, local volatility and stochastic volatility are implemented.
-
The following models are considered:
HJM and Libor Market Models (LMM): affine models, Hull-White, CIR, Black-Karasinsky, Squared-Gaussian, Li-Ritchken-Sankarasubramanian, Bhar-Chiarella, Jump diffusion LMM, Markov functional LMM, LMM with stochastic volatility.
Premia provides a calibration toolbox for Libor Market model using a database of swaptions and caps implied volatilities.
-
Credit derivatives: Credit default swaps (CDS), Collateralized debt obligations (CDO)
Reduced form models and copula models are considered.
Premia provides a toolbox for pricing CDOs using the most recent algorithms (Hull-White, Laurent-Gregory, El Karoui-Jiao, Yang-Zhang, Schönbucher)
-
A PDE solver for pricing derivatives on hybrid products like options on inflation and interest or change rates is implemented.
-
Energy derivatives: swing options
Mean reverting and jump models are considered.
Premia provides a toolbox for pricing swing options using finite differences, Monte-Carlo Malliavin-based approach and quantization algorithms.
