Pricing and Hedging Volatility Derivatives∗
This paper studies the pricing and hedging of variance swaps and other volatility derivatives, including volatility swaps and variance options, in the Heston stochastic volatility model. Pricing and hedging results are derived using partial differential equation techniques. We formulate an optimization problem to determine the number of options required to best hedge a variance swap. We propose...
متن کاملPricing and Hedging Options under Stochastic Volatility
In this essay, I mainly discuss how to price and hedge options in stochastic volatility (SV) models. The market is incomplete in the SV model, whereas it is complete in the Black-Scholes model. Thus the option pricing and hedging methods are a little different for the SV model and for the Black-Scholes model. The no-arbitrage argument and the risk-neutral valuation method are two general method...
متن کاملNew solvable stochastic volatility models for pricing volatility derivatives
Classical solvable stochastic volatility models (SVM) use a CEV process for instantaneous variance where the CEV parameter γ takes just few values: 0 the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, 1/2 the Heston (or square root) process, 1GARCH, and 3/2 the 3/2 model. Some other models were discovered in Henry-Labordére (2009) by making connection between stochastic volatility and solvable diffusion processes...
متن کاملSurvivor Derivatives: A Consistent Pricing Framework
Survivorship risk is a significant factor in the provision of retirement income. Survivor derivatives are in their early stages and offer potentially significant welfare benefits to society. This article applies the approach developed by Dowd et al. (2006), Olivier and Jeffery (2004), Smith (2005), and Cairns (2007) to derive a consistent framework for pricing a wide range of linear survivor de...
متن کاملPricing American Options under Stochastic Volatility
This paper presents an extension of McKean’s (1965) incomplete Fourier transform method to solve the two-factor partial differential equation for the price and early exercise surface of an American call option, in the case where the volatility of the underlying evolves randomly. The Heston (1993) square-root process is used for the volatility dynamics. The price is given by an integral equation...
