Abstract

This paper focuses on the problem of pricing the cliquet options which provide a guaranteed minimum annual return. The tree method which we propose simplifies the standard binomial Cox–Ross–Rubinstein approach which, in this context, is problematic from a computational point of view. Our technique provides very efficient and reliable evaluations in a Black-Scholes framework with piecewise constant interest rates and volatilities.
