Pricing stock and bond derivatives with a multi-factor Gaussian model

The martingale approach to pricing contingent claims can be applied in a multiple state variable model. The idea is used to derive the prices of derivative securities (futures on stock and bond futures, options on stocks, bonds and futures) given a continuous time Gaussian multi-factor model of the returns of stocks and bonds. The bond market is similar to Langetieg's multi-factor model, which has closed-form solutions. This model is a generalization of Vasicek's model, where the term structure depends on state variables following correlated mean reverting processes. The stock market is affected by systematic and unsystematic risk.
