This paper deals with the superhedging of derivatives on incomplete markets, i.e. with portfolio strategies which generate payoffs at least as high as that of a given contingent claim. The simplest solution to this problem is in many cases a static superhedge, i.e. a buy-and-hold strategy...

This paper is devoted to the problem of hedging contingent claims in the framework of a complete two-factor jump … determine the unique hedging strategies which minimize a suitably defined shortfall risk under a given cost constraint. We … derive explicit formulas for this so-called efficient or quantile hedging strategy for a European call option. We then …

In contrast to conventional model-based derivative pricing, a recent stream of research aims to investigate what prices are consistent with absence of arbitrage, given only the current prices of traded options on the same underlying. This paper gives a succinct survey of work in this area. After...

This paper presents a novel framework for pricing and hedging of the Guaranteed Minimum Benefits (GMBs) embedded in …-switching model. Semi-closed form solutions for prices of various GMBs are derived; pricing and hedging is performed using an accurate …, fast and efficient Fourier Space Time-stepping (FST) algorithm, which allows deriving the Greeks required for hedging …

Closed-form pricing formulae and option Greeks are obtained for European-type options using an orthogonal polynomial series -- complex Fourier series. We assume that risky assets are driven by exponential Lévy processes and stochastic volatility models. We provide a succinct error analysis to...
