Abstract

Looback options are path dependent contingent claims whose payoffs depend on the extrema of the underlying asset price over a certain time interval. In this note we compare the performance of two Monte Carlo techniques to price lookback options, a crude Monte Carlo estimator and Antithetic variate estimator. We find that the Antithetic estimator performs better under a variety of
 performance measures.
