PyFENG: [Py]thon [F]inancial [ENG]ineering

PyFENG provides an implementation of the standard financial engineering models for derivative pricing.

Implemented Models

• Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) and displaced BSM models:
  • Analytic option price, Greeks, and implied volatility.
• Bachelier (Normal) model
  • Analytic option price, Greeks, and implied volatility.
• Constant-elasticity-of-variance (CEV) model
  • Analytic option price, Greeks, and implied volatility.
• Stochastic-alpha-beta-rho (SABR) model
  • Hagan's BSM vol approximation.
  • Choi & Wu's CEV vol approximation.
  • Analytic integral for the normal SABR.
  • Closed-form MC simulation for the normal SABR.
• Hyperbolic normal stochastic volatility (NSVh) model
  • Analytic option pricing.
• Heston model
  • FFT option pricing.
  • Almost exact MC simulation by Glasserman & Kim and Choi & Kwok.
• Schobel-Zhu (OUSV) model
  • FFT option pricing.
  • Almost exact MC simulation by Choi
• Rough volatility models
  • Rough Heston MC by Ma & Wu

About the Package

• Uses numpy arrays as basic datatype so computations are naturally vectorized.
• Purely Python without C/C++ extensisons.
• Implemented with Python class.
• Intended for academic use. By providing reference models, it saves researchers' time. See PyFENG for Papers in Related Projects below.

m = pf.Bsm(sigma=0.2, intr=0.05, divr=0.1)
m.price(strike=np.arange(80, 121, 10), spot=100, texp=1.2)

sigma = np.array([[0.2], [0.5]])
m = pf.Bsm(sigma, intr=0.05, divr=0.1) # sigma in axis=0
m.price(strike=np.array([90, 95, 100]), spot=100, texp=1.2, cp=np.array([-1,1,1]))
