Hello Luigi,
Thank you for your reply.
I ended up calculating the greeks numerically as you suggested.
Based on your reply, I’m guessing it has to do with the particular SWIG compilation I’m using. I don’t have time to look into that right
now, but the numerical greeks do fulfill my current needs.
Thanks again for your help,

Assunto: Re: [Quantlib-users] Calculating greeks for a quanto vanilla option with Quantlib
Hello Pedro,
apologies for the delay. The other greeks should be calculated as well. May you send a self-contained program that reproduces the problem?
As a workaround, in the meantime, you can calculate greeks numerically by bumping the inputs and repricing as in <https://youtu.be/MgUlBB59Ll0>.
Later,
Luigi

Hello all,
I recently started using quantlib and I’m trying to calculate values for a quanto vanilla option (price, delta, vegas w.r.t to volatilities of asset and of fx rate, etc) – I could not find much information about quantlib quanto classes online.
I’m using a SWIG compilation of quantlib with C#. I instantiated a QuantoVanillaOption class together with a QuantoEuropeanEngine on a GeneralizedBlackScholesProcess. It yields the correct price with the .NPV() method, however I cannot get it to calculate the normal greeks (.vega(), .delta(), .gamma(), .dividendrho()) – it throws an exception; only q-greeks – namely qrho, qvega, qlambda – calculate without exception, although I confess I don’t know exactly that they are (are they rho and vega with respect to the foreign rate and foreign vol?).
What am I doing wrong? How can I calculate the normal greeks for a quanto vanilla option with quantlib?
Many thanks,
Pedro Milet
