基于随机波动率模型的上证50ETF期权定价研究

传统上,期权定价主要基于Black-Scholes (B-S)模型。但B-S模型不能描述时变波动率以及解释"波动率微笑"现象,导致期权定价存在较大的误差。随机波动率模型克服了B-S模型的这些缺陷,能够合理地刻画波动率动态性和波动率微笑。基于此,本文考虑随机波动率模型下的期权定价问题,并针对我国上证50ETF期权进行实证分析。为了解决定价模型的参数估计问题,采用上证50ETF及其期权价格数据,建立两步法对定价模型的参数进行估计。该估计方法保证了定价模型在客观与风险中性测度下的一致性。采用2016年1月到2017年10月的上证50ETF期权价格数据为研究样本,对随机波动率模型进行了实证检验。结果表明,无论是在样本内还是样本外,随机波动率模型相比传统的常数波动率B-S模型都能够获得明显更为精确和稳定的定价结果,B-S模型的定价误差总体偏大且呈现较高波动,凸显了随机波动率对于期权定价的重要性。另外,随机波动率模型对于短期实值期权的定价相比对于其它期权的定价要更精确。

Two asset-barrier option under stochastic volatility

Financial products which depend on hitting times for two underlying assets have become very popular in the last decade. Three common examples are double-digital barrier options, two-asset barrier spread options and double lookback options. Analytical expressions for the joint distribution of the endpoints and the maximum and/or minimum values of two assets are essential in order to obtain quasi-closed form solutions for the price of these derivatives. Earlier authors derived quasi-closed form pricing expressions in the context of constant volatility and correlation. More recently solutions were provided in the presence of a common stochastic volatility factor but with restricted correlations due to the use of a method of images. In this article, we generalize this finding by allowing any value for the correlation. In this context, we derive closed-form expressions for some two-asset barrier options.     

Implied Filtering Densities on the Hidden State of Stochastic Volatility

Abstract

We formulate and analyse an inverse problem using derivative prices to obtain an implied filtering density on volatility’s hidden state. Stochastic volatility is the unobserved state in a hidden Markov model (HMM) and can be tracked using Bayesian filtering. However, derivative data can be considered as conditional expectations that are already observed in the market, and which can be used as input to an inverse problem whose solution is an implied conditional density on volatility. Our analysis relies on a specification of the martingale change of measure, which we refer to as separability. This specification has a multiplicative component that behaves like a risk premium on volatility uncertainty in the market. When applied to SPX options data, the estimated model and implied densities produce variance-swap rates that are consistent with the VIX volatility index. The implied densities are relatively stable over time and pick up some of the monthly effects that occur due to the options’ expiration, indicating that the volatility-uncertainty premium could experience cyclic effects due to the maturity date of the options.     

Implied Volatility of Leveraged ETF Options

Abstract

This paper studies the problem of understanding implied volatilities from options written on leveraged exchanged-traded funds (LETFs), with an emphasis on the relations between LETF options with different leverage ratios. We first examine from empirical data the implied volatility skews for LETF options based on the S&P 500. In order to enhance their comparison with non-leveraged ETFs, we introduce the concept of moneyness scaling and provide a new formula that links option implied volatilities between leveraged and unleveraged ETFs. Under a multiscale stochastic volatility framework, we apply asymptotic techniques to derive an approximation for both the LETF option price and implied volatility. The approximation formula reflects the role of the leverage ratio, and thus allows us to link implied volatilities of options on an ETF and its leveraged counterparts. We apply our result to quantify matches and mismatches in the level and slope of the implied volatility skews for various LETF options using data from the underlying ETF option prices. This reveals some apparent biases in the leverage implied by the market prices of different products, long and short with leverage ratios two times and three times.     

Unifying pricing formula for several stochastic volatility models with jumps

In this paper, we introduce a unifying approach to option pricing under continuous‐time stochastic volatility models with jumps. For European style options, a new semi‐closed pricing formula is derived using the generalized complex Fourier transform of the corresponding partial integro‐differential equation. This approach is successfully applied to models with different volatility diffusion and jump processes. We also discuss how to price options with different payoff functions in a similar way. In particular, we focus on a log‐normal and a log‐uniform jump diffusion stochastic volatility model, originally introduced by Bates and Yan and Hanson, respectively. The comparison of existing and newly proposed option pricing formulas with respect to time efficiency and precision is discussed. We also derive a representation of an option price under a new approximative fractional jump diffusion model that differs from the aforementioned models, especially for the out‐of‐the money contracts.

On the Approximation of the SABR Model: A Probabilistic Approach

Abstract

In this article, we derive a probabilistic approximation for three different versions of the SABR model: Normal, Log-Normal and a displaced diffusion version for the general case. Specifically, we focus on capturing the terminal distribution of the underlying process (conditional on the terminal volatility) to arrive at the implied volatilities of the corresponding European options for all strikes and maturities. Our resulting method allows us to work with a variety of parameters that cover the long-dated options and highly stress market condition. This is a different feature from other current approaches that rely on the assumption of very small total volatility and usually fail for longer than 10 years maturity or large volatility of volatility (Volvol).

The Minimal Entropy Martingale Measure and Numerical Option Pricing for the Barndorff–Nielsen–Shephard Stochastic Volatility Model

Abstract

We develop and apply a numerical scheme for pricing options in the stochastic volatility model proposed by Barndorff–Nielsen and Shephard. This non-Gaussian Ornstein–Uhlenbeck type of volatility model gives rise to an incomplete market, and we consider the option prices under the minimal entropy martingale measure. To numerically price options with respect to this risk neutral measure, one needs to consider a Black and Scholes type of partial differential equation, with an integro-term arising from the volatility process. We suggest finite difference schemes to solve this parabolic integro-partial differential equation, and derive appropriate boundary conditions for the finite difference method. As an application of our algorithm, we consider price deviations from the Black and Scholes formula for call options, and the implications of the stochastic volatility on the shape of the volatility smile.
