Exam 2 (Module 3)
Summer 2024
Instructions: This is a mini project on the use of the Monte Carlo scheme to price exotic options to be completed using Python. C++ is also allowed, but Excel/VBA is not permitted. As this is the half way point of the CQF, this assessment is designed for delegates to show independence and maturity in interpretation of a slightly open ended problem. It will test
● finding and understanding the relevant lectures, Python labs and tutorials in module 3; as well as the Python primer.
● ability to experiment and demonstrate initiative in mathematical and numerical methods.
● willingness to work outside narrow instruction that are typical of maths based tests/exams.

Task
Use the expected value of the discounted payo§ under the risk-neutral density Q
V (S; t) = e-r(T-t)EQ [Payof (ST )]
for the appropriate form. of payoff, to consider Asian and lookback options.
Use the Euler-Maruyama (only) scheme for initially simulating the underlying stock price. As an initial example you may use the following set of sample data
Today' s stock price S0 = 100
Strike E = 100
Time to expiry (T - t) = 1 year
volatility σ = 20%
constant risk-free interest rate r = 5%
Then vary the data to see the affect on the option price. Your completed assignment should centre on a report to include:
Mark Scheme
Outline of the finance problem and numerical procedure used 20%
Results - appropriate tables and comparisons 35%
Any interesting observations and problems encountered 25%
Conclusion 15%
References 5%
● Outline of the finance problem and numerical procedure used.
● Results - appropriate tables and comparisons.
● Any interesting observations and problems encountered.
● Conclusion and references
For a Python Jupyter Notebook, a detailed notebook will become the complete report (write-up, code, results).
