3 Price Expansion P: price of a vanilla European option (to start with) P = P 0 + v 0 σ P 0 + v 1 D 1 σ P 0 + v 2 D 2 P 0 + v 3 D 1 D 2 P 0 + v 4 2 σσp 0 + D 1 = S S (Delta), D 2 = S 2 2 S 2 (Gamma) σ = σ (V ega) v i = v i (τ), payoff independent, τ = time-to-maturity P 0 is typically a constant volatility price closed-form formula Black-Scholes in Equity (Vasicek or CIR in Fixed Income, Black-Cox in Credit,...) Where do we get such an expansion? What do we expect from it?

9 Calibration on Implied Volatilities For vanilla European options we have: σ P 0 = τ σd 2 P 0 so that P = P 0 + v 0 σ P 0 + v 1 D 1 σ P 0 + v 2 στ σp 0 + v 3 στ D 1 σ P 0 + For Calls, P 0 = C BS and by direct computation { P = C BS + v 0 + v ( 2 στ + v 1 + v ) ( 3 1 d )} 1 στ σ σ C BS + τ where d 1 = LM+(r+1 2 σ2 )τ σ, and LM log(k/s) τ Expanding the implied volatility I = σ + I 1 + P C BS ( σ + I 1 + ) = C BS + I 1 σ C BS + = I 1 = v 0 + v ( 2 στ + v 1 + v ) ( 3 1 d ) 1 στ σ + τ Affine in LMMR: I = b + a LM τ + (quartic in LM) + where the term structure of the v s (τ dependence) is important.

10 Calibration on Implied Volatilities For vanilla European options we have: σ P 0 = τ σd 2 P 0 so that P = P 0 + v 0 σ P 0 + v 1 D 1 σ P 0 + v 2 στ σp 0 + v 3 στ D 1 σ P 0 + For Calls, P 0 = C BS and by direct computation { P = C BS + v 0 + v ( 2 στ + v 1 + v ) ( 3 1 d )} 1 στ σ σ C BS + τ where d 1 = LM+(r+1 2 σ2 )τ σ, and LM log(k/s) τ Expanding the implied volatility I = σ + I 1 + P C BS ( σ + I 1 + ) = C BS + I 1 σ C BS + = I 1 = v 0 + v ( 2 στ + v 1 + v ) ( 3 1 d ) 1 στ σ + τ Affine in LMMR: I = b + a LM τ + (quartic in LM) + where the term structure of the v s (τ dependence) is important.

12 Goal: fit Calibration Examples I = b + a LM τ + (quartic in LM) + to the observed implied volatility surface. We typically fit the parameters a, b,... by regressing in LMMR maturity-by-maturity, then we fit their dependence in τ. We will see that our expansion leads to a, b which are affine in τ.

33 Back to the Wish List: Accuracy If the payoff function h is smooth: P ε,δ = = (P 0 + εp 1,0 + εp 2,0 + ε 3/2 P 3,0 ) (P 0 + εp 1,0 + δp 0,1 ) then the residual R ε,δ satisfies and therefore R ε,δ = O(ε + δ). + δ ( P 0,1 + εp 1,1 + εp 2,1 ) + R ε,δ + O(ε + δ) + R ε,δ L ε,δ R ε,δ = O(ε + δ) R ε,δ (T) = O(ε + δ) If h is non-smooth (call option in particular), then use a careful regularization.

34 Path-Dependent Derivatives (Barrier, Asian,...) Calibrate σ, V 0, V 1 and V 3 on the implied volatility surface Solve the corresponding problem with constant volatility σ = P 0 = P BS (σ ) Use V 0, V 1 and V 3 to compute the source 2 (V 0 σ P BS + V 1 D 1 σ P BS) + V 3 D 1 D 2 P BS Get the correction by solving the SAME PROBLEM with zero boundary conditions and the source.

35 American Options Calibrate σ, V 0, V 1 and V 3 on the implied volatility surface Solve the corresponding problem with constant volatility σ = P and the free boundary x (t) Use V 0, V 1 and V 3 to compute the source 2 (V 0 σ P BS + V 1 D 1 σ P BS) + V 3 D 1 D 2 P BS Get the correction by solving the corresponding problem with fixed boundary x (t), zero boundary conditions and the source.

36 Cost of the Black-Scholes Hedging Strategy Infinitesimal cost: P BS (T, S T ) = h(s T ) P BS (t, S t ) = a t S t + b t e rt, a t = x P BS dp BS (t, S t ) (a t ds t + rb t e rt dt) }{{} self-financing part = 1 2 ( f 2 (Y t, Z t ) σ 2) D 2 P BS (t, S t )dt Cumulative financing cost: E BS (t) = 1 2 t 0 e rs ( f 2 (Y s,z s ) σ 2) D 2 P BS (s,s s )ds Choice of σ?

37 Choice of σ? Since Y t is fast mean-reverting (ε << 1), integrals like t ( f 2 (Y s,z s ) σ 2) Ψ s ds will be small with ε if 0 Therefore two choices: σ 2 = σ 2 (z) = f 2 (,z) Φ(Y) σ 2 = σ 2 (Z t ) and P BS = P BS (t, S t ; σ(z t )), in which case σ(z t ) needs to be estimated continuously (and dp BS revisited) σ 2 = σ 2 (Z 0 ) and P BS = P BS (t, S t ; σ(z 0 )) with f 2 (Y s,z s ) σ 2 = ( f 2 (Y s,z s ) σ 2 (Z t ) ) + ( σ 2 (Z t ) σ 2 (Z 0 ) ) in which case parameters are frozen at time zero, an additional cost of order δ comes from the second term (offset in practice by re-calibration at δ-frequency).

38 Corrected Hedging Strategy A careful analysis of the cost shows E 0 (t) = 1 2 t 0 e rs ( f 2 (Y s,z s ) σ 2 (Z t ) ) D 2 P BS (s,s s )ds = ε (B ε t + M ε t) + O(ε + δ), where M ε t is a martingale, and B ε t = ρ 1 2 t 0 e rs β(y s ) φ y f(y s,z s )D 1 D 2 P BS (s,s s )ds is a bounded variation bias which can be compensated by using the corrected hedging ratio a t given by x P BS + (T t)v 3 x D 1 D 2 P BS + (T t)v 1 x D 1 σ P BS The last term compensates for the bias generated by σ 2 (Z t ) σ 2 (Z 0 )

40 A Model with Volatility Time-Scale of Order One In the model σ t = f(y t,z t ), if one wants to: keep Y fast mean-reverting let Z be on a time scale comparable to maturity (or add one such factor) keep the computational tractability then, one needs to make sure that the SV model σ 2 (Z t ) is tractable. An interesting choice is the Heston model: A Fast Mean-Reverting Correction to Heston Stochastic Volatility Model with Matthew Lorig (PhD student, UCSB), where we develop this idea.

43 Fast Mean-Reverting SV and Short Maturities If the time scale of the fast mean-reverting factor Y is ε << 1, and if the maturity of interest is small but still large compared with ε, then, one can consider the regime ε << T ε << 1 It involves a non-trivial mixture of Large Deviation (short maturity) and Homogenization (fast mean reverting coefficient): Short maturity asymptotics for a fast mean reverting Heston stochastic volatility model with Jin Feng and Martin Forde (SIAM Journal on Financial Mathematics, Vol. 1, 2010). Interestingly, in this regime and for this model, we derive explicit formulas for the limiting implied volatility which looks like
