After the seminal paper of Jarrow and Rudd (1982), several authors have proposed to use different statistical series expansion to price options when the risk-neutral density is asymmetric and leptokurtic. Amongst them, one can distinguish the Gram-Charlier Type A series expansion (Corrado and...

The purpose of this paper is to develop a new non-parametric method to price options based on normalized Multipoint Padé Approximants. Following the seminal paper of Padé (1892), we propose to approximate the risk-neutral distribution by a rational function of polynomials that can accommodate...
