Abstract [en]

In this paper we dive into the world of pricing convertible bonds, with increasing complexity. This work aims to investigate the pricing methods behind different convertibles and see how well they agree with exact prices and benchmarks from established literature. The simulation-based techniques used for the European convertibles are regular Monte Carlo, and for the American with exercise opportunity before maturity, least-squares Monte Carlo with backward induction procedure. The findings in this paper do agree well with the analytical results and what previous papers have found.

Abstract [sv]

Denna uppsats utforskar prissättningen av konvertibla obligationer och fördjupar sig i ökande komplexitetsnivåer. Dess mål är att undersöka olika prissättningsmetoder för olika typer av konvertibler och bedöma deras anpassning till de exakta priser och riktmärken från befintlig litteratur. De Europeiska konvertiblerna prissätts med ett simuleringsbaserat tillvägagångssätt, nämligen med vanlig Monte Carlo, medan de Amerikanska konvertiblerna, som erbjuder möjlighet att konvertera före förfallodagen, prissätts med minsta kvadratmetoden och Monte Carlo med en bakåtinduktionsprocedur. Resultaten som erhållits i denna studie visar en stark överensstämmelse med analytiska resultat och resultaten från tidigare forskningsartiklar.
