Pricing Convertible Bonds
One size does not fit all. SciComp offers three types of solutions for pricing convertible bonds:
- The ultimate flexible coding solution, SciFinance® is a C/C++/CUDA source code generator for building derivatives pricing models in-house. Providing you full control over modeling decisions, SciFinance significantly reduces development time and costs.
- Our expert quantitative development staff at SciComp Consulting can
develop a wide variety of standard
or custom derivatives pricing models,
calibration routines and risk management tools that are tailored to your
requirements.
- Ultimate Convertible Bond Pricing Model is a ready-to-use
pricing engine that supports a broad range on convertible bond features.
