7 What s Wrong with Heston? Single factor of volatility running on single time scale not sufficient to describe dynamics of the volatilty process. Not just Heston...Any one-factor stochastic volatility model has trouble fitting implied volatility levels accross all strikes and maturities. Emperical evidence suggests existence of several stochastic volatility factors running on different time scales

13 Time Scales The previous asymptotics is a perturbation around Black-Scholes leading to Black-Scholes 2.0 where 2.0 = 1+ 2x(0.5) Why not keeping one volatility factor on a time scale of order one? This would be a perturbation around a one-factor stochastic volatility model, but which one? Heston of course!
