Abstract

La forma más común de valuar opciones, es mediante fórmulas cerradas; sin embargo, debido a que no necesariamente existen para todos los tipos de opciones asiáticas, se hace necesario aplicar métodos numéricos y comparar sus resultados para determinar la eficiencia de los mismos. En este trabajo se presentan las características y aplicaciones de métodos numéricos para la valuación de las opciones asiáticas; se incluye el cálculo con la fórmula cerrada para hacer un comparativo de resultados, en los casos en que se puede calcular el costo de la prima mediante fórmula. Se describen ventajas y desventajas de los métodos; los métodos suponen una tasa libre de riesgo constante, volatilidad constante y una distribución de precios lognormal. En este contexto se concluyó que el método Monte Carlo es el que presenta resultados más confiables para evaluar opciones asiáticas./ The most common way to value options is by closed formulas; however, because this formulas do not necessarily exist for all types of Asian options, it is necessary to apply numerical methods and compare their results to determine their efficiency. This paper describes the characteristics and applications of numerical methods for the valuation of Asian Options. The calculation with closed formulas is included to compare results, in those cases where the formula can be used. Advantages and disadvantages of the methods are described; they assumed a constant risk free rate, constant volatility and a lognormal distribution of prices. Within the context of this article, it can be concluded that the Montecarlo Method achieves the most reliable results when valuing Asian options.
