Typically correlation matrices for each assets' degrees of … freedom are set and the challenge is to build a global correlation matrix which at least recovers these individual correlation … general methodology for constructing such correlation matrices that uses few parameters, is based on correlations of physical …

Daily returns of financial assets are frequently found to exhibit positive autocorrelation at lag 1. When specifying a linear AR(l) conditional mean, one may ask how this predictability affects option prices. We investigate the dependence of option prices on autoregressive dynamics under...

Leveraged exchange-traded funds (LETF) are newly introduced ETFs that have become increasingly popular. It closely tracks the value of an underlying index while allowing for additional leverage. In this paper, we consider the valuation of options written on leveraged exchange-traded funds under...

We consider a semi-Markov modulated market consisting of a riskless asset or bond, B, and a risky asset or stock, S, whose dynamics depend on a semi-Markov process x. Using the martingale characterization of semi-Markov processes, we note the incompleteness of semi-Markov modulated markets and...

We introduce an asymptotic expansion for forward start options in a multi-factor local-stochastic volatility model. We derive explicit approximation formulas for the so-called forward implied volatility which can be useful to price complex path-dependent options, as cliquets. The expansion...

We consider implied volatility, time-dependent volatility, local volatility and stochastic volatility. We derive relationships between the different concepts. The relationships are of an exact analytical type if this is possible, else we use expansions to obtain approximate expressions. We close...

In this paper, we modify Duan’s (1995) local risk-neutral valuation relationship (mLRNVR) for the GARCH option-pricing models. In our mLRNVR, the conditional variances under two measures are designed to be different and the variance process is more persistent in the risk-neutral measure than...
