Good point methods for computing prices and sensitivities of multi-asset European style options

Abstract

Using number-theoretic methods, we investigate low-discrepancy sequences and weighted-sum estimators which outperform standard low-discrepancy techniques for pricing multi-asset European options on up to 5 underlying factors. The sequences used are simpler to implement than most low-discrepancy sequences, and computation time is considerably faster.
