<p>My only non-core class this semester has been in Structure Products. We've been surveying a wide variety of products, and the final project was to pick one to report on.
Because these are all very similar, we decided to demonstrate all 3 products at once.</p>
<p>What follows below is a notebook demonstrating the usage of <a href=http://julialang.com target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">Julia</a> for Monte-Carlo simulation of some exotic products.</p>

<p>In order to price the autocallable bonds, we need to simulate the underlying assets. Let's go ahead and set up the simulation first, as this lays the foundation for what we're trying to do. We're going to use <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=jnj" target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">JNJ</a> as the basis for our simulation. This implies the following parameters:</p>

<p>We additionally define some parameters for simulation:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>T</code>: The number of years to simulate</li>
<li><code>m</code>: The number of paths to simulate</li>
<li><code>n</code>: The number of steps to simulate in a year</li>
</ul>

<p>To make things simpler, we simulate a single year at a time. This allows us to easily add in a dividend policy without too much difficulty, and update the simulation every year to match the term structure. The underlying uses GBM for simulation between years.</p>

<p>Now that we've got the basic motion set up, let's start making things a bit more sophisticated for the model. We're going to assume that the drift of the stock is the difference between the implied forward rate and the quarterly dividend rate.</p>
<p>We're given the yearly term structure, and need to calculate the quarterly forward rate to match this structure. The term structure is assumed to follow:</p>

<p>Now that we have the term structure set up, we can actually start doing some real simulation! Let's construct some paths through the full 5-year time frame. In order to do this, we will simulate 1 year at a time, and use the forward rates at those times to compute the drift. Thus, there will be 5 total simulations batched together.</p>

<p>Let's move into pricing a Phoenix without memory. It's very similar to the Athena production, with the exception that we introduce a coupon barrier so coupons are paid even when the underlying is below the initial price.</p>
<p>The Phoenix product has the following characteristics (example <a href=https://www.rbccm.com/usstructurednotes/file-780079.pdf target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>):</p>
<ul>
<li>Automatically called if the underlying is above the <strong>call barrier</strong> at observation</li>
<li>Coupon paid if the underlying is above a <strong>coupon barrier</strong> at observation</li>
<li>Principle protection up until a <strong>protection barrier</strong> at observation; All principle at risk if this barrier not met</li>
<li>Observed yearly</li>
</ul>
<p>Some example paths (all assume that a call barrier of the current price, and coupon barrier some level below that):</p>
<ul>
<li>At the end of year 1, the stock is above the call barrier; the note is called and you receive the value of the stock plus the coupon being paid.</li>
<li>At the end of year 1, the stock is above the coupon barrier, but not the call barrier; you receive the coupon. At the end of year 2, the stock is below the coupon barrier; you receive nothing. At the end of year 3, the stock is above the call barrier; the note is called and you receive the value of the stock plus a coupon for year 3.</li>
</ul>
<p>We're going to re-use the same simulation, with the following parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li>Call barrier: 100%</li>
<li>Coupon barrier: 70%</li>
<li>Coupon: 6%</li>
<li>Capital protection until 70% (at maturity)</li>
</ul>

<h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id=phoenix-with-memory-simulation>Phoenix with Memory Simulation<a href=#phoenix-with-memory-simulation class=hash-link aria-label="Direct link to Phoenix with Memory Simulation" title="Direct link to Phoenix with Memory Simulation"></a></h2>
<p>The Phoenix with Memory structure is very similar to the Phoenix, but as the name implies, has a special "memory" property: <strong>It remembers any coupons that haven't been paid at prior observation times, and pays them all if the underlying crosses the coupon barrier</strong>. For example:</p>
<ul>
<li>Note issued with 100% call barrier, 70% coupon barrier. At year 1, the underlying is at 50%, so no coupons are paid. At year 2, the underlying is at 80%, so coupons for both year 1 and 2 are paid, resulting in a double coupon.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can also find an example <a href=https://www.rbccm.com/usstructurednotes/file-781232.pdf target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
<p>Let's go ahead and set up the simulation! The parameters will be the same, but we can expect that the value will go up because of the memory attribute</p>
