Abstract

Swing options generalize American-style options as they allow the holder multiple exercise rights and control over the exercise amounts. In this work, we replace the standard (binomial) trees in the forest of trees algorithm with stochastic meshes, yielding the forest of stochastic meshes; a simulation-based method for valuing high-dimensional swing options. This new method handles general price processes and payoffs, produces high- and low-biased consistent estimators and a true option price confidence interval.
