6 Introduction Introduction Advantages of working with a local volatility model: the local volatility σ(t, S(t)) is a deterministic function of both the FX spot and time. It avoids the problem of working in incomplete markets in comparison with stochastic volatility models and is therefore more appropriate for hedging strategies has the advantage to be calibrated on the complete implied volatility surface, local volatility models usually capture more precisely the surface of implied volatilities than stochastic volatility models Gregory Rayee (ULB) Bachelier Congress 2010 Toronto, june / 37

7 The model Introduction The calibration of a model is usually done on the vanilla options market local and stochastic volatility models (well calibrated) return the same price for these options. But calibrating a model to the vanilla market is by no mean a guarantee that all type of options will be priced correctly example: We have compared short-dated barrier option market prices with the corresponding prices derived from either a Dupire local volatility or a Heston stochastic volatility model both calibrated on the vanilla smile/skew. Gregory Rayee (ULB) Bachelier Congress 2010 Toronto, june / 37

8 Introduction Introduction A FX market characterized by a mild skew (USDCHF) exhibits mainly a stochastic volatility behavior, A FX market characterized by a dominantly skewed implied volatility (USDJPY) exhibit a stronger local volatility component. Gregory Rayee (ULB) Bachelier Congress 2010 Toronto, june / 37

9 Introduction Introduction The market dynamics could be better approximated by a hybrid volatility model that contains both stochastic volatility dynamics and local volatility ones. example: ds(t) = (r d (t) r f (t))s(t)dt + σ LOC2 (t, S(t)) ν(t)s(t)dws DRN (t), dr d (t) = [θ d (t) α d (t)r d (t)]dt + σ d (t)dwd DRN (t), dr f (t) = [θ f (t) α f (t)r f (t)]dt + σ f (t)dwf FRN (t), dν(t) = κ(θ ν(t))dt + ξ ν(t)dwν DRN (t). The local volatility function σ LOC2 (t, S(t)) can be calibrated from the local volatility that we have in a pure local volatility model!

Equations (1), (2) and (3) are expressed in the domestic risk-neutral measure (DRN).

12 The local volatility function first approach The local volatility derivation : first approach Consider the forward call price C(K, t) of strike K and maturity t, defined (under the t-forward measure Q t) by C(K, t) = C(K, t) P d (0, t) = EQt [(S(t) K) + ] = Differentiating it with respect to the maturity t leads to + (S(t) K)φ F (S, r d, r f, t)dsdr d dr f. K C(K, t) t = + K (S(t) K) φ F (S, r d, r f, t) t dsdr d dr f we have shown that the t-forward probability density φ F satisfies the following forward PDE: φ F t = (r d (t) f d (0, t)) φ F [(r d (t) r f (t))s(t)φ F ] x [(θ f (t) α f (t) r f (t))φ F ] z + 2 [σ(t, S(t))S(t)σ d (t)ρ Sd φ F ] x y [σ 2 (t, S(t))S 2 (t)φ F ] x [σ(t, S(t))S(t)σ f (t)ρ Sf φ F ] x z [(θ d (t) α d (t) r d (t))φ F ] y 2 [σ 2 d (t)φ F ] y [σ 2 f (t)φ F ] z [σ d (t)σ f (t)ρ df φ F ].

This leads to the following expression for the local volatility surface in terms of the forward call prices C(K, t) σ 2 (t, K) = C(K,t) f t d (0, t) C(K, t) E Qt [(r d (t)k r f (t) S(t))1 {S(t)>K} ]. 1 K 2 2 C(K,t) 2 K 2 Gregory Rayee (ULB) Bachelier Congress 2010 Toronto, june / 37

14 The local volatility function first approach The local volatility derivation : first approach The (partial) derivatives of the forward call price with respect to the maturity can be rewritten as C(K, t) t = [ C(K,t) P d (0,t) ] t = C(K, t) t 2 C(t, K) K 2 = 2 C(K,t) [ P d (0,t) ] 1 2 C(t, K) K 2 = P d (0, t) K 2. 1 P d (0, t) + f d (0, t) C(t, K), Substituting these expressions into the last equation, we obtain the expression of the local volatility σ 2 (t, K) in terms of call prices C(K, t) σ 2 (t, K) = C(K,t) P t d (0, t)e Qt [(r d (t)k r f (t) S(t))1 {S(t)>K} ]. 1 2 K 2 2 C(K,t) K 2 Gregory Rayee (ULB) Bachelier Congress 2010 Toronto, june / 37

20 Calibration Calibration Introduction Before pricing any derivatives with a model, it is usual to calibrate it on the vanilla market, determine all parameters present in the different stochastic processes which define the model in such a way that all European option prices derived in the model are as consistent as possible with the corresponding market ones. Gregory Rayee (ULB) Bachelier Congress 2010 Toronto, june / 37

21 Calibration Calibration Introduction The calibration procedure for the three-factor model with local volatility can be decomposed in three steps: 1 Parameters present in the Hull-White one-factor dynamics for the domestic and foreign interest rates, θ d (t), α d (t), σ d (t), θ f (t), α f (t), σ f (t), are chosen to match European swaption / cap-floors values in their respective currencies. 2 The three correlation coefficients of the model, ρ Sd, ρ Sf and ρ df are usually estimated from historical data. 3 After these two steps, the calibration problem consists in finding the local volatility function of the spot FX rate which is consistent with an implied volatility surface.

Its calculation can obviously be done by using numerical methods but you have to solve (numerically) a three-dimensional PDE: 0 = φ F t + (r d (t) f d (0, t)) φ F + [(r d (t) r f (t))s(t)φ F ] x + [(θ f (t) α f (t) r f (t))φ F ] z [σ(t, S(t))S(t)σ d (t)ρ Sd φ F ] x y 2 [σ 2 (t, S(t))S 2 (t)φ F ] x [σ(t, S(t))S(t)σ f (t)ρ Sf φ F ] x z + [(θ d (t) α d (t) r d (t))φ F ] y 2 [σ 2 d (t)φ F ] y [σ 2 f (t)φ F ] z 2 2 [σ d (t)σ f (t)ρ df φ F ].

24 Calibration first method Calibration : Comparison between local volatility with and without stochastic interest rates In a deterministic interest rates framework, the local volatility function σ 1f (t, K) is given by the well-known Dupire formula: C(K,t) σ1f 2 (t, K) = t + K(f d (0, t) f f (0, t)) C(K,t) + f K f (0, t)c(k, t). 1 2 K 2 2 C(K,t) K 2 If we consider the three-factor model with stochastic interest rates, the local volatility function is given by C(K,t) σ3f 2 (t, K) = P t d (0, t)e Qt [(Kr d (t) r f (t)s(t))1 {S(t)>K} ]. 1 2 K 2 2 C(K,t) K 2 We can derive the following interesting relation between the simple Dupire formula and its extension σ 2 3f (t, K) σ2 1f (t, K) = KP d (0, t){cov Q t [r f (t) r d (t), 1 {S(t)>K} ] + K 1 CovQ t [r f (t), (S(t) K) + ]}. 1 2 K 2 2 C K 2 (7) Gregory Rayee (ULB) Bachelier Congress 2010 Toronto, june / 37

26 Calibration By mimicking stochastic volatility models Calibrating the local volatility by mimicking stochastic volatility models Consider the following domestic risk neutral dynamics for the spot FX rate ds(t) = (r d (t) r f (t)) S(t) dt + γ(t, ν(t)) S(t) dws DRN (t) ν(t) is a stochastic variable which provides the stochastic perturbation for the spot FX rate volatility. Common choices: 1 γ(t, ν(t)) = ν(t) 2 γ(t, ν(t)) = exp( ν(t)) 3 γ(t, ν(t)) = ν(t) The stochastic variable ν(t) is generally modelled by a Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) process as for example the Heston stochastic volatility model: dν(t) = κ(θ ν(t))dt + ξ ν(t)dwν DRN (t) a Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process (OU) as for example the Schöbel and Zhu stochastic volatility model: dν(t) = k[λ ν(t)]dt + ξdwν DRN (t) Gregory Rayee (ULB) Bachelier Congress 2010 Toronto, june / 37

35 Extension Hybrid volatility model Gyöngy s result Consider a general n-dimensional Itô process ξ t of the form: dξ t = δ(t, w)dw (t) + β(t, w)dt where W (t) is a k-dimensional Wiener process on a probability space (Ω, F, P), δ R n k and β R n are bounded F t-nonanticipative processes such that δδ T is uniformly positive definite. This process gives rise to marginal distributions of the random variables ξ t for each t. Gyöngy then shows that there is a Markov process x(t) with the same marginal distributions. The explicit construction is given by: dx t = σ(t, x t)dw (t) + b(t, x t)dt where: σ(t, x) = (E[δ(t, w)δ T (t, w) ξ t = x]) 1 2 b(t, x) = E[β(t, w) ξ t = x] Gregory Rayee (ULB) Bachelier Congress 2010 Toronto, june / 37
