Available APIs
-
BarrierBS
Calculates the theoretical price of barrier options using the Black-Scholes model. Barrier options are a type of exotic option where the payoff depends on whether the underlying asset’s price reaches a certain barrier level.
-
BinBarrierBS
Provides pricing for barrier options using a binomial model. This method evaluates options by constructing a binomial tree to model possible price movements of the underlying asset.
-
Bonds
Computes the price and yield of bonds, taking into account factors like coupon rate, maturity date, and market interest rates. This function helps in the valuation of fixed-income securities.
-
ChaffeeDiscount
Implements Chaffee’s model to calculate the discount for lack of marketability (DLOM), which is used to estimate the reduction in value of an asset that is not readily marketable.
-
FinnertyDiscount2002
Applies the 2002 Finnerty model to calculate the DLOM. This model uses option pricing theory to estimate the discount based on the cost of hedging against marketability risk.
-
FinnertyDiscount2012
Updates the Finnerty model to the 2012 version, refining the DLOM calculation by incorporating more recent data and adjustments to the original methodology.
-
IngersollDiscount
Calculates the DLOM based on the Ingersoll model, which considers the impact of restricted stock on the valuation of closely held companies.
-
LongstaffDiscount
Uses the Longstaff model to determine the DLOM, which incorporates simulation techniques to account for marketability restrictions over time.
-
OptionsBin
Prices options using the binomial model, which builds a binomial tree to model the underlying asset’s possible price movements and calculates option prices by working backwards through the tree.
-
OptionsBS
Implements the Black-Scholes model to price European-style options. It calculates theoretical values for call and put options based on inputs like the underlying asset price, strike price, volatility, time to expiration, and risk-free interest rate.
-
OptionsFutures
Provides pricing for options on futures contracts using the Black model, an extension of the Black-Scholes model tailored for futures options.
-
OptionsLattice-EB
Prices employee stock options using a lattice model. This function incorporates various features specific to employee stock options, such as vesting periods and early exercise behavior.
-
PriceService
A general-purpose pricing service for various financial instruments, allowing users to input parameters and obtain pricing information for options, bonds, and other securities.
-
TSR-Generic
Calculates the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) for a given stock, considering both price appreciation and dividends over a specified period.
-
VolaClose
Computes historical volatility based on closing prices of the underlying asset. This measure is useful for assessing the asset’s price fluctuations over time.
-
VolatilityNormality
Evaluates the normality of volatility distributions. This function helps in testing if the volatility follows a normal distribution, which is a key assumption in many financial models.
-
VolatilityPrice
Calculates the implied volatility from the market price of an option. Implied volatility represents the market’s expectation of the underlying asset’s future volatility.
