摘要
We construct a polynomial-based modification of the Gaussian quantile in order to derive a functional approximation of any symmetric quantile. Based on this formula we generate random numbers for pricing Asian options on three different oil products (Brent, Gas Oil and Fuel Oil) via Monte Carlo simulation. We find that standard Gaussian-based methods (commonly applied by market participants) underestimate the option value, and suggest to apply the method presented here.
