Abstract

Asian options are notoriously hard to price. Even though they have been the focus of much attention in recent years, there is no single technique which would widely be accepted to price Asian options for all choices of market parameters. In practice, estimation of price sensitivities is often as important as evaluation of the prices themselves since price sensitives are important measures of risk. The main goal of this paper is to demonstrate how high-precision methods can be used to efficiently price and estimate the market sensitivities of an arithmetic Asian option.
