Abstract: It was supposed that the dynamic moving process of the stock price and the return was driven by Geometry Brownian Motion and the lognormal distribution respectively. Takinginto account the riskneutral environment, we got a closedform analytical formula for deferred arithmetic asian options by the method of Taylor expansion of the stochastic integral formula within the terminal payoff. Furthermore, with the series definition of the definite integral, we transferred the continuous problem into a discrete one which is simpleenough to figure out. Meanwhile we tested the accuracy of the formula with the Monte Carlo simulation as a benchmark and the result shows that the formula can be utilized to price the related financial derivatives.

Key words: option pricing, asian options, deferred, risk neutral, BlackScholes model
