Abstract

We develop a simple calibration approach to generate return distributions for multivariate asset distributions and use this technique to price options on portfolios given the first four co-moments of the joint distribution of returns. The technique is fast and captures the impact of covariance, and the co-skewness and co-kurtosis tensors on the value of these options. Given the technique works for a portfolio, the same is also applicable to options on individual securities as a special simpler case.
