Pricing Volatility Swaps Under Heston's Stochastic Volatility Model with Regime Switching

A model is developed for pricing volatility derivatives, such as variance swaps and volatility swaps under a continuous‐time Markov‐modulated version of the stochastic volatility (SV) model developed by Heston. In particular, it is supposed that the parameters of this version of Heston's SV model depend on the states of a continuous‐time observable Markov chain process, which can be interpreted as the states of an observable macroeconomic factor. The market considered is incomplete in general, and hence, there is more than one equivalent martingale pricing measure. The regime switching Esscher transform used by Elliott et al. is adopted to determine a martingale pricing measure for the valuation of variance and volatility swaps in this incomplete market. Both probabilistic and partial differential equation (PDE) approaches are considered for the valuation of volatility derivatives.     

Robust Approximations for Pricing Asian Options and Volatility Swaps Under Stochastic Volatility

Abstract

We show that if the discounted Stock price process is a continuous martingale, then there is a simple relationship linking the variance of the terminal Stock price and the variance of its arithmetic average. We use this to establish a model-independent upper bound for the price of a continuously sampled fixed-strike arithmetic Asian call option, in the presence of non-zero time-dependent interest rates (Theorem 1.2). We also propose a model-independent lognormal moment-matching procedure for approximating the price of an Asian call, and we show how to apply these approximations under the Black–Scholes and Heston models (subsection 1.3). We then apply a similar analysis to a time-dependent Heston stochastic volatility model, and we show how to construct a time-dependent mean reversion and volatility-of-variance function, so as to be consistent with the observed variance swap curve and a pre-specified term structure for the variance of the integrated variance (Theorem 2.1). We characterize the small-time asymptotics of the first and second moments of the integrated variance (Proposition 2.2) and derive an approximation for the price of a volatility swap under the time-dependent Heston model ( Equation (52)), using the Brockhaus–Long approximation (Brockhaus, and Long, 2000 Brockhaus, O. and Long, D. 2000. Volatility Swaps made simple. Risk, 13(1) January: 92–96.  [Google Scholar]). We also outline a bootstrapping procedure for calibrating a piecewise-linear mean reversion level and volatility-of-volatility function (Subsection 2.3.2).     

Pricing Exotic Discrete Variance Swaps under the 3/2-Stochastic Volatility Models

Abstract

We consider pricing of various types of exotic discrete variance swaps, like the gamma swaps and corridor variance swaps, under the 3/2-stochastic volatility models (SVMs) with jumps in asset price. The class of SVMs that use a constant-elasticity-of-variance (CEV) process for the instantaneous variance exhibits good analytical tractability only when the CEV parameter takes just a few special values (namely 0, 1/2, 1 and 3/2). The popular Heston model corresponds to the choice of the CEV parameter to be 1/2. However, the stochastic volatility dynamics implied by the Heston model fails to capture some important empirical features of the market data. The choice of 3/2 for the CEV parameter in the SVM shows better agreement with empirical studies while it maintains a good level of analytical tractability. Using the partial integro-differential equation (PIDE) formulation, we manage to derive quasi-closed-form pricing formulas for the fair strike prices of various types of exotic discrete variance swaps with various weight processes and different return specifications under the 3/2-model. Pricing properties of these exotic discrete variance swaps with respect to various model parameters are explored.

Asset Pricing with Stochastic Volatility

In this paper we study the asset pricing problem when the volatility is random. First, we derive a PDE for the risk-minimizing price of any contingent claim. Secondly, we assume that the volatility process \si _t is observed through an observation process Y _t subject to random error. A price formula and a PDE are then derived regarding the stock price S _t and the observation process Y _t as parameters. Finally, we assume that S _t is observed. In this case we have a complete market and any contingent claim is then priced by an arbitrage argument instead of by risk-minimizing. Accepted 15 August 2000.

Stochastic Volatility Model with Filtering

Abstract

We generalize the stochastic volatility model by allowing the volatility to follow different dynamics in different states of the world. The dynamics of the “states of the world” are represented by a Markov chain. We estimate all the parameters by using the filtering and the EM algorithms. Closed form estimates for all parameters are derived in this paper. These estimates can be updated using new information as it arrives.
