The purpose of these lectures is to provide the mathematical background to apprehend a wide class of models appearing in finance. We focus on continuous processes through the study of Brownian motion, Itô's formula, Brownian driven Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs), their correspondence with some appropriate Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). We will also investigate some associated strategies of dynamic/static pricing and hedging of options.
Here are the following key-points of the course.
- Preliminary results on Gaussian vectors
- Characterizations of Brownian motion (as a Gaussian process or as a process with stationary independent Gaussian increments)
- Construction of Brownian motion through the approach of Paul Lévy.
- Itô processes and Itô's formula.
- SDEs and some associated Parabolic PDEs : the Feynman-Kac representation formula and Applications to finance
- The Girsanov theorem.
Prérequis :
The prerequisites are undergraduate probability (Markov chains, discrete time martingales, different convergence notions in probability).

Objectifs pédagogiques visés :
Contenu :
Since 2008, investment banks compute various X-valuation adjustments (XVAs) to assess counterparty risk and its capital and funding implications. XVAs matter at two different levels. First, trade incremental XVAs are charged to clients as add-ons to deal entry prices. Second, some of the XVA metrics are also accounting entries that affect the result of the bank. More broadly, the advent of these metrics reflects a shift of paradigm in derivative management, from hedging to balance-sheet optimization.
First generation XVAs (CVA, DVA, and FVA, where C sits for credit, D for debt, and F for funding) pose the challenge of a proper understanding of the distinction between firm and shareholder valuation for their purpose. Second generation XVAs involve not only conditional expectations (i.e. prices), but also conditional risk measures: value-at-risk, which underlies MVA (margin valuation adjustment) computations, and expected shortfall, which underlies economic capital based KVA (capital valuation adjustment) approaches.
The course aims at providing a survey of the XVA universe from the triple angle of finance (wealth transfers), stochastic analysis (enlargement of filtration and backward SDE features), and computations (nested Monte Carlo vs. deep learning regression schemes).
The course will also address further FRTB implications in terms of risk measure and model risk (regulatory “Rquant” issues, coming on top of the traditional distinction between “Pquants” and “Qquants”).

Financial modeling and numerical knowledge and skills, such as provided by the first semester course “Pricing and calibration methods in finance”

- understanding of structured rate products and timing to buy these products in the appropriate situation

FX:
The goal of this lesson is to present the main characteristics of foreign exchange derivative products and there use, as part of managing currency risks for companies. First of all, we will discuss the description of these products: Financial characteristics, risk factors, current situation on the market and their use by the financial direction of corporate companies to hedge their currency risks. The final objective is to help students, to have a global vision of different currency hedging strategies.
VOLATILITY:
A growing body of empirical research indicates that volatility fluctuates more rapidly than Brownian motion. Fractional volatility models have emerged as compelling alternatives. Even though tractability can be a challenge for these non-Markovian, non-semimartingales models, recent studies have developed numerical methods suitable for their implementation. The main purpose of this course module is to introduce these numerical techniques.
STRUCTURED PRODUCTS:
The objective of the course is to give an all around comprehensive general knowledge and understanding of the theory and the day-to-day use of options for trading, hedging and arbitrage purposes.

The subjects that relate to market finance, insurance finance but also data mining, machine learning, etc. (in line with the master program curriculum) are defined by the professional. The project starts in December and ends at the end of March. Students meet with their professional manager at least 3 times in the meantime. A co-supervision by an academic member of the pedagogical team of the master program ensures the daily follow-up. The project gives rise to the delivery to the company of a commented code as well as a defense (oral presentation) with beamer slides or jupyter notebook at the end of March.
Objectifs pédagogiques visés :
Contenu :
The cutting edge projects in finance allow groups of four students (including a team leader) to deepen a subject under the responsibility of a professional (team mentor). They offer students and professionals the opportunity for mutually beneficial collaboration. The students deploy their technical expertise in an adventure also mobilizing their creativity, team spirit and professionalism. The professional finds a chance to renew his look on his field and benefits from the students' investment.

Students will be graded through their reports, and through an exam. Student’s reports are used to examine their competence in mathematical article writing. The exam examines the ability to read documents and to understand the semimartingale calculus. It should be noted that the exam is not an end in itself. The exam’s subjects furnish indications for better performing the task of proof- completing.
Objectifs pédagogiques visés :
Contenu :
This course is motivated by the belief that a quantitative financial practitioner at an advanced level should have, not only financial knowledge and expertise, but also some experience in research (in this case, mathematics). In particular, giving the students the ability to know the exact minimal conditions for a mathematical result to be correctly applied is one of the objectives of the course.
The framework chosen in our course is the following : writing a report on the theory of Lévy processes. Indeed, on the one hand, Lévy processes and their peers are useful financial modeling tools. On the other hand, it turns out that computations with Lévy processes are rather easy, compared with other types of processes. Students can, therefore, have a rich experience in stochastic analysis without too much technical difficulty.
Student’s task:
There are a few dozen notions and theorems that form the starting point of the theory of Lévy processes. Students should learn these notions, study these theorems, and write a report.For each of the theorems, a skeleton of the proof will be presented to the students. Documents on semimartingale calculus will be sent to students.Students read the documents, find appropriate results of the semimartingale calculus, and apply them to fill the skeletons and make the proofs complete.
Prérequis :
Calculus and probability at a good M1 level. Some knowledge of continuous-time processes at the level of the first semester course “stochastic calculus” is a plus but not mandatory.
