We show how the benefits of the pathwise sensitivity approach to computing Monte Carlo Greeks can be extended to discontinuous payoff functions through a combination of the pathwise approach and the Likelihood Ratio Method. With a variance reduction modification, this results in an estimator which for timestep
h
has a variance which is
O
(
h
−1/2
) for discontinuous payoffs and
O
(1) for continuous payoffs. Numerical results confirm the variance is much lower than the
O
(
h
−1
) variance of the Likelihood Ratio Method, and the approach is also compatible with the use of adjoints to obtain multiple first order sensitivities at a fixed cost.
