Abstract

In this work, we present a multiple time-step Monte Carlo simulation technique for pricing options under the Stochastic Alpha Beta Rho (SABR) model. The proposed method is an extension of the one time-step Monte Carlo method that we proposed in Leitao et al. (Appl. Math. Comput. 293: 461–479, 2017). We call it the mSABR method. A highly efficient method results, with many interesting and nontrivial components, like Fourier inversion for the sum of log-normals, stochastic collocation, Gumbel copula, correlation approximation, that are not yet seen in combination within a Monte Carlo simulation. The present multiple time-step Monte Carlo method is especially useful for long-term or for exotic options. This paper is a short version of an already published paper (Leitao et al. On an efficient multiple time-step Monte Carlo simulation of the SABR model. Quantitative Finance.
