Continuous Time Finance (FinKont)
Course content
- Stochastic integrals and Ito formula
- Stochastic differential equations
- Arbitrage
- Complet markets
- Martingale methods in finalcial mathematics
MSc Programme in Actuarial Mathematics
Knowledge:
Ito calculus, stochastic differential equation and methods applied
in continuous time financial models.
Skills:
At the end of the course, the students are expected to be able
to
- Apply theorems on stochastic integrals and stochastic differential equations, including theorems such as: Ito's formula, Feynman-Kac representations, martingale representations, Girsanov's theorem.
- Determine arbitrage free prices of financial claims including determining partial differential equations for price functions.
- Deduce if a diffusion model for the market is arbitrage free and if it is complete and to be familiar with the 1st and 2nd fundamental theorems of asset pricing including the determination of martingale measures.
- Apply concepts for portfolios including self financing and replicating.
- Apply the theory to determine the Black-Scholes price for a call option.
Competencies:
To provide operational qualifications and insight in modern
financial methods.
Blended teaching and learning: 4 hours of video lectures per week for 7 weeks. Worksheets with exercises/problem solving will be provided for the students for in-depth engagement with the course material. There will be regular meetings with the lecturer for discussions of the course material and the exam.
