Over the past few years, many financial institutions have actively traded basket warrants in the over-the-counter market. Prior research has proposed an approach to valuing single-stock options subject to credit. However, this approach cannot be applied directly to the case of basket warrants. Using the martingale method, we propose a closed-form approximation for valuing European basket warrants using a continuous-time model, with credit risk and interest rate risk considered simultaneously. Finally, several numerical examples are utilized to demonstrate the characteristics of basket warrants under credit risk.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
