This paper considers the problem of pricing options with early-exercise features whose pay-off depends on several sources of uncertainty. We propose a stochastic grid method for estimating the optimal exercise policy and using this policy to obtain a low-biased estimator for high-dimensional...

There is an increasing consensus within banks, on the need to recognize the impact of rising capital requirements on their derivative business in the form of capital valuation adjustment (KVA). However, because of varied reasons, there are still concerns over how exactly KVA should be computed,...

The regulatory credit value adjustment (CVA) for an outstanding over-the-counter (OTC) derivative portfolio, is computed based on the portfolio exposure over its lifetime. Usually the future portfolio exposure is approximated using Monte Carlo simulation, as the portfolio value can be driven by...

We present here a regress later based Monte Carlo approach that uses neural networks for pricing high-dimensional contingent claims. The choice of specific architecture of the neural networks used in the proposed algorithm provides for interpretability of the model, a feature that is often...
