Three Approaches to the Risk-Neutral Pricing • Pricing Independently of the Volatility Model • Pricing by Expectations in a SV Framework • Pricing via Partial Differential Equations
1st Approach: Pricing Independently of the Volatility Model (cntd)
1st Approach: Pricing Independently of the Volatility Model (cntd)
2nd Approach: Pricing by Expectations in a SV Framework (cntd)
2nd Pricing Approach: Pricing by Expectations in a SV Framework (cntd)
2nd Pricing Approach: Pricing by Expectations in a SV Framework (cntd)
3d Approach: Pricing via PDE (PDE Itself for the Value V of Derivative)
