Multi-asset options are derivatives written on more than one underlying asset. As a special case of multi-asset options, quotient options are written on the ratio of two underlying assets. They may be used to replace pair trading. We review the literature on quotient options within the Black-Scholes-Merton framework and pair trading. We study the performance of the delta hedging algorithm given by the BSM framework when it is applied to the quotient options traded in Borsa Istanbul. We also compare the market prices of the same quotient options to the prices suggested by the BSM model.

Pricing and hedging lookback options using black-scholes in Borsa İstanbul Samuel Paul, Sharoy Augustine; Sezer, Ali Devin; Department of Financial Mathematics (2016) The lookback option is a path dependent option that looks at the behaviour of the underlying asset for a specified time frame known as the lookback period. The maximum (minimum) attained during the lookback period is used to determine the option's payoff. In this thesis, the floating strike lookback option, which uses the maximum to determine the strike price for the put options will be examined and will be applied to the assets appearing in the BIST30 index. We estimate the historical volatility of these a...
An Examination of betas for Borsa İstanbul Koca, Onur; Oran, Adil; Department of Business Administration (2016) This study aims to investigate the Betas, which is called as systematic risk and introduced by Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), of stocks traded in Borsa Istanbul (BIST). Issues about Beta have been examined for many years and mainly focus on its estimation and stability. These topics set up the core of this thesis. The closing prices of 203 eligible stocks between 2005 and 2015 are used in the work and data is collected from Thomson Reuters. The estimation of Beta is performed in four different methods,...
Local volatility model applied to BIST30 european warrants: pricing and hedging Kirazoğlu, Zekiye Sıla; Sezer, Ali Devin; Department of Financial Mathematics (2016) One of the basic observations on pricing options is that the assumption of constant volatility does not agree with data and market price data gives a volatility smile that depends on maturities and strike prices. The ﬁrst model that developed to be compatible with this observation is the local volatility model. The purpose of this work is to study the performance of the local volatility model on BIST30 warrants and compare it to the standard Black Scholes model. To estimate the local volatility model from d...
Applications of the heston model on BIST30 warrants : hedging and pricing Mert, Özenç Murat; Sezer, Ali Devin; Department of Financial Mathematics (2016) The Heston model is one of the first and known stochastic volatility models. The aim of this work is to study the performance of the Heston Model on pricing and hedging the warrants written on BIST30 and the compatibility between the observation of the Heston Model in the literature and BIST30 data.
Pricing and hedging of constant proportion debt obligations İşcanoğlu Çekiç, Ayşegül; Uğur, Ömür; Korn, Ralf; Department of Financial Mathematics (2011) A Constant Proportion Debt Obligation is a credit derivative which has been introduced to generate a surplus return over a riskless market return. The surplus payments should be obtained by synthetically investing in a risky asset (such as a credit index) and using a linear leverage strategy which is capped for bounding the risk. In this thesis, we investigate two approaches for investigation of constant proportion debt obligations. First, we search for an optimal leverage strategy which minimises the mean-...
