Reinforcement Learning and Deep Stochastic Optimal Control for Final Quadratic Hedging

no code implementations20 Nov 2023 Bernhard Hientzsch

We consider two data driven approaches, Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Deep Trajectory-based Stochastic Optimal Control (DTSOC) for hedging a European call option without and with transaction cost according to a quadratic hedging P&L objective at maturity ("variance-optimal hedging" or "final quadratic hedging").

A Comparison of Reinforcement Learning and Deep Trajectory Based Stochastic Control Agents for Stepwise Mean-Variance Hedging

no code implementations16 Feb 2023 Ali Fathi, Bernhard Hientzsch

We consider two data-driven approaches to hedging, Reinforcement Learning and Deep Trajectory-based Stochastic Optimal Control, under a stepwise mean-variance objective.

Parametric Differential Machine Learning for Pricing and Calibration

no code implementations13 Feb 2023 Arun Kumar Polala, Bernhard Hientzsch

To allow convenient and efficient simulation of processes and functionals and in particular the corresponding computation of samplewise derivatives, we propose to specify the processes and functionals in a low-code way close to mathematical notation which is then used to generate efficient computation of the functionals and derivatives in TensorFlow.

A Flexible Commodity Skew Model with Maturity Effects

no code implementations15 Dec 2022 Orcan Ogetbil, Bernhard Hientzsch

We propose a non-parametric extension with leverage functions to the Andersen commodity curve model.

Calibrating Local Volatility Models with Stochastic Drift and Diffusion

1 code implementation30 Sep 2020 Orcan Ogetbil, Narayan Ganesan, Bernhard Hientzsch

We give conditions under which a local volatility can exist given European option prices, stochastic interest rate model parameters, and correlations.

Backward Deep BSDE Methods and Applications to Nonlinear Problems

no code implementations13 Jun 2020 Yajie Yu, Bernhard Hientzsch, Narayan Ganesan

To time-step the BSDE backward, one needs to solve a nonlinear problem.

Pricing Barrier Options with DeepBSDEs

1 code implementation22 May 2020 Narayan Ganesan, Yajie Yu, Bernhard Hientzsch

In the PDE formulation, this corresponds to adding boundary conditions to the final value problem.

Extensions of Dupire Formula: Stochastic Interest Rates and Stochastic Local Volatility

no code implementations12 May 2020 Orcan Ogetbil, Bernhard Hientzsch

We provide derivations for the case where both short rates are given as single factor processes and present the limits for a single stochastic rate or all deterministic short rates.

Introduction to Solving Quant Finance Problems with Time-Stepped FBSDE and Deep Learning

no code implementations27 Nov 2019 Bernhard Hientzsch

In this introductory paper, we discuss how quantitative finance problems under some common risk factor dynamics for some common instruments and approaches can be formulated as time-continuous or time-discrete forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDE) final-value or control problems, how these final value problems can be turned into control problems, how time-continuous problems can be turned into time-discrete problems, and how the forward and backward stochastic differential equations (SDE) can be time-stepped.
