Assets Paying A Continuous Dividend Yield  For the purposes of option pricing, we can assume

that some assets pay a continuous dividend yield.  Some examples include  Stock Indices  Futures

MSc

COMPUTATIONAL FINANCE

 Commodities

 If we assume a risk neutral mean and variance in the

GBM process, we have

dS = rSdt + σSdz 4

©Finbarr Murphy 2007

Assets Paying A Continuous Dividend Yield  If the continuous dividend yield is δ, we can replace

the r with (r- δ) giving

dS = (r − δ ) Sdt + σSdz  It’s simply a matter of making this replacement

Assets Paying A Proportional Discrete Dividend  A Proportional Discrete Dividend might include share

splits and rights issue  Assuming that a company will issue a 10% stock

MSc

COMPUTATIONAL FINANCE

dividend to all shareholders, we can assume that the asset/stock price will reduce by 10%

7

©Finbarr Murphy 2007

Assets Paying A Proportional Discrete Dividend  The stock price reduction will take place on the ex-

dividend date (note: ex-dividend and record dates!)  Let δˆ be the proportional dividend amount and τ be

the ex-dividend date

MSc

COMPUTATIONAL FINANCE

 Prior to the ex-dividend date, the asset price remains

unchanged  After the dividend date, the asset price reduces by

(1− δˆ )

the asset is unchanged  On or after iΔt, the value of the asset becomes

Assets Paying A Cash Dividend  Cash dividends pose a problem because the cash

amount is absolute  S = €100, Δt = 1/3, σ = 0.2%, r = 6%, δ = €3, τ=2/3 x + 2 ∆x Sx = 138. ln( e3543 − D ) + ∆x

Assets Paying A Cash Dividend  This becomes a non recombining tree or a bushy tree  A bushy tree is a tree in which the number of

MSc

COMPUTATIONAL FINANCE

branches increases exponentially relative to observation times; branches never recombine

14

©Finbarr Murphy 2007

Assets Paying A Cash Dividend  We want to avoid bushy trees as these are

computationally expensive  We get around this by combining future cash flows

into the current stock price  The current value of the stock, S is €100

MSc

COMPUTATIONAL FINANCE

 This price includes the expected δ = €3 in τ = six

months (say)

S = Sˆ + δe − rτ

 So,  Therefore

Sˆ = S − δe − rτ = 100 − 3e −0.06×0.5 = 97.0887 15

©Finbarr Murphy 2007

Assets Paying A Cash Dividend  Now, project Sˆ forward using the general additive

method  Add in the discounted cashflows  The sum is an asset price tree that recombines

©Finbarr Murphy 2007

Time Varying Volatility  Up to now, we have assumed that volatility is

constant. Intuition alone suggests that volatility varies over time  We can adapt our binomial model to accommodate

time varying volatility σi where i = 0,…,T

MSc

COMPUTATIONAL FINANCE

 To ensure a recombining binomial tree, we fix the

space step Δx but vary the probabilities pu/pd and time steps Δt

Time Varying Volatility  Δt approximates the average time step when the tree

is built but individual Δti’s can vary  See OHP  Interest rates vary between 4 and 6%

MSc

 Volatility varies between 14 and 17%  It is difficult to choose timesteps that correspond to

cashflow dates and exercise dates.
