This work introduces the general Monte Carlo framework and its applications for derivative pricing. It lays a focus on various techniques for variance reduction, which have proved useful as a tool to reduce computational cost while preserving precision. These techniques are applied to an example and the results are used to compare them among each other. Furthermore, means to estimate sensitivties are intoduced and applied to an example. This work is based on the paper “Monte Carlo Methods for Security Pricing” by P. Boyle, M. Broadie and P. Glasserman (1997).
