We present a general purpose technique for the efficient and accurate valuation of options in the shifted Stochastic Alpha Beta Rho (shifted-SABR) model which includes SABR as a special case. The method is based on a novel double-layer continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) from which closed-form...

In this paper, we propose a general data-driven framework that unifies the valuation and risk measurement of financial derivatives, which is especially useful in markets with thinly-traded derivatives. We first extract the empirical characteristic function from market-observable time series for...

This note provides closed-form expressions for spatial Greeks (Delta and Gamma) for discretely monitored realized variance swaps under several common parametric model assumptions. We derive closed-form results for stochastic volatility and exponential L´evy models, as well as some...
