This paper proposes a unified approximation method for various options whose payoffs depend on the volume weighted average price (VWAP). Despite their popularity in practice, quite few pricing models have been developed in the literature. Also, in previous works, the underlying asset process has...

In this paper, we propose an approximation method based on the Wiener-Ito chaos expansion for the pricing of European-style contingent claims. Our method is applicable to the general class of continuous Markov processes. The resulting approximation formula requires at most three-dimensional...

Funahashi and Kijima (2013) have proposed an approximation method based on the Wiener-Ito chaos expansion for the pricing of European-style contingent claims. In this paper, we extend the method to the multi-asset case with general local volatility structure for the pricing of exotic basket...
