Pricing Cliquet Options in Jump-Diffusion Models

From MaRDI portal





The market model provides a riskless stock (bond) \((B_t= 1)\), two risky stocks driven by a standard Brownian motion \(W\) and a Poisson jump process \(N\) with a deterministic bounded intensity \((\lambda_t, t\geq 0)\): \[ sS^i_t= S^i_{t-}(u^i_t dt+ \sigma^i_t dB_t+ \gamma^i_t dN_t),\quad i= 1,2,\quad t\in [0,T], \] \(u^i\), \(\sigma^i\), \(\gamma^i\) are deterministic càdlàg bounded functions on \([0, T]\), \(\gamma^i_t> -1\) so that the prices \(S^i\) are nonnegative. This model admits a unique risk neutral probability measure [cf. \textit{N. Bellamy} and \textit{M. Jeanblanc}, Finance Stoch. 4, No. 2, 209--222 (2000; Zbl 0951.91028) and \textit{N. Bellamy}, J. Math. Econ. 35, No. 2, 259--287 (2001; Zbl 0987.91032)]. The aim is to price a ``Cliquet option with a resetting time \(t_c\), more precisely meaning that the terminal gain of the Cliquet option on stock \(S\) is \(\max[\delta(S_T- K),\delta(S_{t_c}- K), O]\), \(t_c< T\), \(\delta= 1\) for a call option and \(\delta=-1\) for a put option, \(K\) is the strike price. The main result is the explicit value of such an option under the assumption \(\gamma^i\) constant. Finally, the value of the Cliquet option is approximated when \(y^i\) are increasing limits of piecewise constant deterministic time functions.
