  • The Forward Smile in Stochastic Local Volatility Models
    The forward smile in stochastic local volatility models Andrea Mazzon∗ Andrea Pascucciy Abstract We introduce an approximation of forward start options in a multi-factor local-stochastic volatility model. We derive explicit expansion formulas for the so-called forward implied volatility which can be useful to price complex path-dependent options, as cliquets. The expansion involves only polynomials and can be computed without the need for numerical procedures or special functions. Recent results on the exploding behaviour of the forward smile in the Heston model are confirmed and generalized to a wider class of local-stochastic volatility models. We illustrate the effectiveness of the technique through some numerical tests. Keywords: forward implied volatility, cliquet option, local volatility, stochastic volatility, analytical ap- proximation Key messages • approximation for the forward implied volatility • local stochastic volatility models • explosion of the out-of-the-money forward smile 1 Introduction In an arbitrage-free market, we consider the risk-neutral dynamics described by the d-dimensional Markov diffusion dXt = µ(t; Xt)dt + σ(t; Xt)dWt; (1.1) where W is a m-dimensional Brownian motion. The first component X1 represents the log-price of an asset, while the other components of X represent a number of things, e.g., stochastic volatilities, economic indicators or functions of these quantities.

Asian and Cliquet options may not be exercised prior to the expiration date and must have a $100 multiplier. Asian style settlement is a settlement style that may be designated for FLEX Broad-Based Index options and results in the contract settling to an exercise settlement value that is based on an arithmetic average of the specified closing prices of an underlying broad-based index taken on 12 predetermined monthly observation dates. Cliquet style settlement is a settlement style that may be designated for FLEX Broad-Based Index options and results in the contract settling to an exercise settlement value that is equal to the greater of $0 or the sum of capped monthly returns (i.e., percent changes in the closing value of the underlying broad-based index from one month to the next month) applied over 12 predetermined monthly observation dates. The monthly observation date is set by the parties to a transaction. It is the date each month on which the value of the underlying broad-based index is observed for the purpose of calculating the exercise settlement value.

H¨ardle CASE - Center for Applied Statistics and Economics Humboldt-Universit¨atzu Berlin Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakult¨at Spandauer Strasse 1, 10178 Berlin, Germany Abstract Option pricing models are calibrated to market data of plain vanil- las by minimization of an error functional. From the economic view- point, there are several possibilities to measure the error between the market and the model. These different specifications of the error give rise to different sets of calibrated model parameters and the resulting prices of exotic options vary significantly. These price differences often exceed the usual profit margin of exotic options. We provide evidence for this calibration risk in a time series of DAX implied volatility surfaces from April 2003 to March 2004. We analyze in the Heston and in the Bates model factors influencing these price differences of exotic options and finally recommend an error func- tional.

  • Für Strukturierte Produkte 2016
    für Strukturierte Produkte 2016 NR. 07 JAHRBUCH www.payoff.ch EDITORIAL Impulsiver Jahrgang So volatil und bewegt wie das Jahr 2015 zu Ende ging, so schwungvoll startete das neue Jahr 2016. Insbesondere der nur von wenigen Marktbeobachtern prognostizierte Absturz des Ölpreises sorgt zunehmend für Unruhe. Nach dem angekündigten Ende der über zwei Jahrzehnte geltenden Iran-Sanktionen fällt der Preis für ein Barrel Brent-Öl zeitweise unter 28 Dollar. Je tiefer der Ölpreis, desto grösser die Sorgenfalten vieler Marktteilnehmer. Grotesk, eigentlich sollte sich die Wirtschaft über tiefere Kosten freuen, doch zu viele Unternehmen in der Rohstoffbranche hängen am seidenen Faden, finanziert noch zu Zeiten, als der Ölpreis bedenkenlos hoch lag und Basismetalle noch ein weites Stück teurer waren. Banken und Kreditgeber bekommen zunehmend kalte Füsse. Im Umkehrschluss schiesst die Volatilität, gemessen am VSMI, VDAX und VIX, deutlich nach oben. Optionen und Derivate als Grundstein für Strukturierte Produkte bieten plötzlich wieder sehr interessante Möglichkeiten. Egal ob long oder short, der Struki-Baukasten ist en vogue. Zwar ist es noch etwas zu früh für seriöse Jahresprognosen, doch steht fest, dass die Schweiz nach wie vor in der globalen Liga für strukturierte Finanzprodukte auf dem ersten Platz rangiert und eine erstklas- sige Markt-Infrastruktur hat. Die Emittenten, Broker und die Börsenbetreiber, allen voran die SIX Swiss Exchange, tragen hieran einen verdienten Anteil. Doch kommt der Erfolg nicht von alleine: Über 2'000 Menschen sind börsentäglich mit und für die Entwicklung, Marketing, Platzierung und Abwicklung von Strukturierten Produkten in der Schweiz im Einsatz. Wir haben auch für die Jahrgangsreihe 2016 diese einzigartige Community porträ- tiert, analysiert und Stimmungsberichte zu relevanten Trends, wie beispielsweise die Structuring-Plattformen, destilliert.

  • Model Risk in the Pricing of Exotic Options
    Model Risk in the Pricing of Exotic Options Jacinto Marabel Romo∗ José Luis Crespo Espert† [email protected] [email protected] Abstract The growth experimented in recent years in both the variety and volume of structured products implies that banks and other financial institutions have become increasingly exposed to model risk. In this article we focus on the model risk associated with the local volatility (LV) model and with the Vari- ance Gamma (VG) model. The results show that the LV model performs better than the VG model in terms of its ability to match the market prices of European options. Nevertheless, both models are subject to significant pricing errors when compared with the stochastic volatility framework. Keywords: Model risk, exotic options, local volatility, stochastic volatil- ity, Variance Gamma process, path dependence.

In this sense, the European Commission1 stated that the use of derivatives has grown exponentially over the last decade, with over-the- counter transactions being the main contributor to this growth. At the end of December 2009, the size of the over-the-counter derivatives market by notional value equaled approximately $615 trillion, a 12% increase with respect to the end of 2008.

The latter lock in the best underlying asset price over a number of prespecified dates during the option life. The specific uses of these contracts are analyzed, as well as two different hedging techniques. Closed form valuation formulae are provided under standard assumptions. They are easy to implement, very efficient and accurate compared to Monte Carlo simulation approximations.

Gikhman Ilya 6077 Ivy Woods Court Mason, OH 45040 ph: (513) 573 - 9348 e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. This paper deals with the option-pricing problem. In the first part of the paper we study in details the discrete setting of the option-pricing problem usually referred to as the binomial scheme. We highlight basic differences between the old and the new approaches. The main qualitative distinction of the new pricing approach from either binomial or Black Scholes’s is that it represents the option price as a stochastic process. This stochastic interpretation can not give straightforward advantage for an investor due to stochastic setting of the pricing problem. The new approach explicitly states that the options price is more risky than represented by binomial scheme or Black Scholes theory. To highlight the difference between stochastic and deterministic option price definitions note that if a deterministic value is interpreted as a perfect or fair price we can comment that the stochastic interpretation provides this number or any other with the probability that real world option value at maturity will be bellow chosen number. This probability is a pricing risk of the option. Thus with an investor’s motivation of the option pricing the stochastic approach gives information about the risk taking. The investor analyzing option price and corresponding risk makes a decision to purchase the option or not. Continuous setting will be considered in the second part of the paper following [1].
