3 SABR Model with β = 1 Stochastic Alpha Beta Rho(SABR) Model The Black-Scholes Theory Generalization of Hull-White Formula The SABR model is an extension of the Black Scholes model in which the volatility parameter follows a stochastic process: ds t = rs t dt + σ t S β t (ρdw t + 1 ρ 2 dz t ), (1) dσ t = ασ t dw t. (2)

4 Stochastic Alpha Beta Rho(SABR) Model The Black-Scholes Theory Generalization of Hull-White Formula Approximation for Implied Volatilities of SABR Model Hagan et al. derived, with perturbation techniques, an approximating direct formula for this implied volatility under the SABR model in [5]: σ BS (S 0, K) = [ ( (1 β) σ 0 (S 0 K) 1 β 2 [1 + (1 β)2 24 ln 2 S 0 K + (1 β) ln4 S 0 K + ] σ0 2 (S 0 K) 1 β +1 ρβασ 0 3ρ2 +2 α )τ+o(τ 2 2 ) 4 (S 0 K) (1 β)/2 24 ( ) where z := α σ 0 (S 0 K) 1 β 2 ln( S 0 K ) and x(z) = ln 1 2ρz+z 2 +z ρ 1 ρ. z x(z) ], (3)

5 Stochastic Alpha Beta Rho(SABR) Model The Black-Scholes Theory Generalization of Hull-White Formula Approximation for Implied Volatilities of SABR Model In the special case β = 1, the SABR implied volatility formula reduces to [ 1 + y σ BS (S 0, K) = σ 0 f (y) ( 1 4 ρασ ρ2 α 2) ] τ + O(τ 2 ), (4) 24 ( ) where y := α σ 0 ln( S 0 K ) and f (y) = ln 1 2ρy+y 2 +y ρ 1 ρ. European call: BS(t, x, σ BS ) = e x N(d + ) Ke r(t t) N(d ).

6 The Black-Scholes Theory Stochastic Alpha Beta Rho(SABR) Model The Black-Scholes Theory Generalization of Hull-White Formula ds t = rs t dt + σs t dw t. (5) Let X t = ln S t denote the logarithm of stock price. The price of an European call option with payoff (X T K) + at time t satisfy the Black-Scholes-Merton equation: L BS (σ)bs(t, x, σ) = 0, (6) where L BS (σ) = L BS (σ) = σ2 + (r 1 t 2 x 2 2 σ2 ) r is x the Black-Scholes differential operator. And the closed-form solution of above PDE (6) is BS(t, x, σ) = e x N(d + ) Ke r(t t) N(d ). (7)

28 Second Approach to Calculate E[H s Λ s F t ] Recall that V t = E[BS(t, X t, v t ) F t ] + J, where J := ρ 2 = ρ 2 T t T e r(s t) t e r(s t) E[H s Λ s F t ]ds T = C 1 E 2α E [σ s E [ d e 2π t Xs d2 + 2 F W T F Z t [σ s E [ d e d2 2 F W T F Z t ] Ft ] ds ] Ft ] ds (30) for d ± evaluated at (s, X s, v s ), where C 1 = 1 2π ραke (T t).

29 Second Approach to Calculate E[H s Λ s F t ] Denote Q s := E [ d e d 2 can be written as J = C 1 T t 2 FT W F t Z ], ] then the correction term Ft E [σ s Q s ds. d (s, X s, v s ) = λ(v s,t )Z + γ(v t,s, V s,t, σ s ).
