    A Market Mix GIC is a type of guaranteed investment certificate, which offers a return based on a corresponding GIC rate and the performance of a basket of certain stock and bond market indices. The payoff at maturity from a Market Mix GIC can be shown equal to the invested principal plus this principal times the sum of the minimum guaranteed interest rate and the payoff from a European call option on the arithmetic average of the basket price, where the basket price is given by a weighted sum of the index levels above. In this report we considered the pricing of this call option.
