3 What is Volatility? Several notions of volatility Model dependent or not, Data dependent or not Realized Volatility (historical data) Model Volatility: Local Volatility Stochastic Volatility Implied Volatility (option data) 3

4 Realized Volatility t < t 1 < < t N = t (present time) 1 t t t t σ 2 s ds 1 N N i=1 ( log Sti log S ti 1) 2 t i t i 1 depends on the choice of t and on the number of increments N (assuming t i t i 1 constant). More details: Zhang, L., Mykland, P.A., and Ait-Sahalia, Y. (25). A tale of two time scales: Determining integrated volatility with noisy high-frequency data, J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 1, mykland/publ.html 4

5 Volatility Models ds t = S t (µdt + σ t dw t ) Local Volatility: σ t = σ(t, S t ) where σ(t, x) is a deterministic function. Stochastic Volatility: σ t = f(y t ) where Y t contains an additional source of randomness. 5

6 Implied Volatility I(t, T, K) = σ implied (t, T, K) where σ implied (t, T, K) is uniquely defined by inverting Black-Scholes formula: C observed (t, T, K) = C BS (t, S t ; T, K; σ implied (t, T, K)) given the call-option data. t is present time, T is the option maturity date, and K is the strike price. 6

7 Feb, 2.3 Skew Implied Volatility Excess kurtosis.1 Historical Volatility Moneyness K/x Figure 1: S&P 5 Implied Volatility Curve as a function of moneyness from S&P 5 index options on February 9, 2. The current index value is x = and the options have over two months to maturity. This is typically described as a downward sloping skew. 7

8 REQUIRED QUALITIES Parametrization of the Implied Volatility Surface I(t ; T, K) Universal Parsimonous Parameters: Model Independence Stability in Time: Predictive Power Easy Calibration: Practical Implementation Compatibility with Price Dynamics: Applicability to Pricing other Derivatives and Hedging 8

9 At least three approaches: Local Volatility Models: σ t = σ(t, S t ) + s: market is complete (no additional randomness), Dupire formula σ 2 (T, K) = 2 - s: stability of calibration C T + rk C K K 2 2 C K 2 Implied Volatility Surface Models: di t (T, K) = + s: predictive power - s: no-arbitrage conditions not easy. Which underlying? Stochastic Volatility Models: σ t = f(y t ) 9

10 WHY? Stochastic Volatility Framework Distributions of returns are not log-normal Smile (Skew) effect observed in implied volatilities HOW? with, for instance: ds t = µs t dt + σ t S t dw t σ t = f(y t ) dy t = α(m Y t )dt + ν 2α dw (1) t d W, W (1) t = ρdt 1

11 The Popular Heston Model ds t = µs t dt + σ t S t dw (1) t σ t = Y t dy t = α(m Y t )dt + ν 2αY t dw (2) t d W (1), W (2) t t = ρdt Y t is a CIR (Cox-Ingersoll-Ross) process. The condition m ν 2 ensures that the process Y t stays strictly positive at all time. 11

12 Mean-Reverting Stochastic Volatility Models dx t = X t (µdt + σ t dw t ) σ t = f(y t ) For instance: < σ 1 f(y) σ 2 for every y dy t = α(m Y t )dt + β( )dẑt Brownian motion Ẑ correlated to W: Ẑ t = ρw t + 1 ρ 2 Z t, ρ < 1 so that d W, Ẑ t = ρdt 12

13 Pricing under Stochastic Volatility Risk-neutral probability chosen by the market: IP (γ) dx t = rx t dt + f(y t )X t dwt [ ( )] (µ r) dy t = α(m Y t ) β ρ f (Y t ) + γ 1 ρ 2 Ẑ t = ρw t + 1 ρ 2 Z t Market price of volatility risk: γ = γ(y) Markovian case: P t = IE (γ) {e r(t t) h(x T ) F t } P(t, x, y) = IE (γ) {e r(t t) h(x T ) X t = x, Y t = y} but y (or f(y)) is not directly observable! dt + βdẑ t 13

14 Stochastic Volatility Pricing PDE P t f(y)2 x 2 2 P x + ρβxf(y) 2 P 2 x y β2 2 P y ( 2 +r x P ) x P + α(m y) P y βλ P y = where Λ = ρ (µ r) f (y) Terminal condition: P(T, x, y) = h(x) + γ 1 ρ 2 No perfect hedge! 14

15 Summary of the stochastic volatility approach Positive aspects: More realistic returns distributions (fat tails and asymmetry ) Smile effect with skew contolled by ρ Difficulties: Volatility not directly observed, parameter estimation difficult No canonical model. Relevance of explicit formulas? Incomplete markets, no perfect hedge Volatility risk premium to be estimated from option prices Numerical difficulties due to higher dimension 15

34 Rate of Convergence in the Slow Scale Limit σ 2 (, T) f 2 (y) = 1 T ( t [f 2 y + α c(ys α )ds + t ) ] α g(ys α )dw s f 2 (y) dt T = 2 ( ) α f(y)f 1 T (y)g(y) W t dt + O(α) T (smoothness of f and g is assumed) Risk neutral a market price of volatility risk term: α g(ys α )Λ(Ys α )ds in the drift of Yt α additional term: 2 α f(y)f (y)g(y)λ(y) (T/2) Correlation with the BM driving the underlying will also come into play at the order α 34

35 Speeding Up the Time σ 2 (, T) = 1 T T f 2 (Y α t )dt = 1 αt αt = 1 T T f 2 (Y 1 s )ds, α + f 2 (Y 1 s )ds, T αt + Assuming that Y 1 is ergodic with invariant distribution Φ then: 1 T lim f 2 (Y 1 T + T s )ds = f 2 (y)φ(dy) f 2 Φ. Effective volatility: σ f 2 Φ lim α σ2 (,T) = σ 2 35

36 Fast oscillating integral: The Averaging Principle σ 2 (,T) σ 2 = 1 T T ( f 2 (Y α s ) σ 2) ds, α + Observe that f 2 (Y α s ) does not converge for fixed s. Introduce the Poisson equation: so that L Y 1φ(y) = f 2 (y) σ 2 σ 2 (,T) σ 2 = 1 T T L Y 1φ(Y α s ) ds 36

37 The Averaging Principle (continued) Using Ito s formula: Therefore dφ(y α s ) = L Y αφ(y α s )ds + α φ (Y α s )g(y α s )dw s σ 2 (,T) σ 2 = 1 T = αl Y 1φ(Y α s )ds + α φ (Y α s )g(y α s )dw s = 1 αt T T ( = 1 1 α T L Y 1φ(Y α s ) ds dφ(ys α ) 1 T αt T φ (Y α s )g(y α s )dw s φ (Y α s )g(y α s )dw s ) + O Risk neutral α g(ys α )Λ(Ys α )ds in the drift of Yt α ( ) 1 additional term: α 1 T T g(y s α )Λ(Ys α )ds ( ) 1 α 37

38 Multiscale Stochastic Volatility Models The spot volatility is a function of two factors: σ t = f(y t,z t ) Y t is fast mean-reverting (ergodic on a fast time scale): dy t = 1 ε α(y t)dt + 1 ε β(y t )dw (1) t, < ε 1 Z t is slowly varying: dz t = δc(z t )dt + δ g(z t )dw (2) t, < δ 1 (y, z) will denote the initial point for (Y, Z) f is continuous with respect to z Local Effective Volatility: σ 2 (z) f 2 (,z) Φ Y 38
