Abstract

We introduce a novel methodology for pricing options which uses a particle swarm trained neural network to approximate the solution of a stochastic pricing model. The performance of the network is compared to the analytical solution for European call options and the errors shown statistically comparable to Monte Carlo pricing. The work provides a proof of concept that can be extended to more complex options for which no analytical solutions exist, the pricing method presented here delivering results several orders of magnitude faster than the Monte Carlo pricing method used by default in the financial industry.
