Parameters

equityInterestRateCurve	The IR rate curve for estimating forward price.
dividendYieldCurve	The dividend yield term structure for estimating forward price.
equitySpot	The market spot rate quote.
discountCurve	The discount curve
includeSettlementDateFlows,settlementDate	If includeSettlementDateFlows is true (false), cashflows on the settlementDate are (not) included in the NPV. If not given the settlement date is set to the npv date.
npvDate	Discount to this date. If not given the npv date is set to the evaluation date
