Hi all, Here I am mandated to find the VaR for an Asian type option say call option, wherein pay-off for that option will be simple average of daily prices (20 trading days) for next month. For example today it is 21st-march and pay-off will be daily average for all trading days for the month of april, which is going to expire on the last trading day of april. I am clear on calculating VaR, at least daily, for European type option wherein distribution of option price for next day is determined using BS formula and hence the distribution of P/L for the option premium. However in current case as option is path-dependent possibly there is no closed form solution available to determine the fair price of the option. Therefore I am seeking help on how to deal with my present case. If experts here give some clue as well as some published documents or books on the regard I would be truly grateful. Whatever I am aware of is calculation of VaR for plain vanilla option. Thanks,
