Description

s30nbf computes the price and sensitivities of a European option using Heston's stochastic volatility model. The return on the asset price,

S

, is

\frac{d S}{S} = (r - q) d t + \sqrt{v_{t}} d W_{t}^{(1)}

and the instantaneous variance,

v_{t}

, is defined by a mean-reverting square root stochastic process,

d v_{t} = κ (η - v_{t}) d t + σ_{v} \sqrt{v_{t}} d W_{t}^{(2)},

where

r

is the risk free annual interest rate;

q

is the annual dividend rate;

v_{t}

is the variance of the asset price;

σ_{v}

is the volatility of the volatility,

\sqrt{v_{t}}

;

κ

is the mean reversion rate;

η

is the long term variance.

d W_{t}^{(i)}

, for

i = 1, 2

, denotes two correlated standard Brownian motions with

ℂov [d W_{t}^{(1)}, d W_{t}^{(2)}] = ρ d t .

The option price is computed by evaluating the integral transform given by Lewis (2000) using the form of the characteristic function discussed by Albrecher et al. (2007), see also Kilin (2006).

P_{call} = S e^{- q T} - X e^{- r T} \frac{1}{π} Re [\int_{0 + i / 2}^{\infty + i / 2} e^{- i k \bar{X}} \frac{\hat{H} (k, v, T)}{k^{2} - i k} d k],

(1)

where

\bar{X} = \ln (S / X) + (r - q) T

and

\hat{H} (k, v, T) = \exp (\frac{2 κ η}{σ_{v}^{2}} [t g - \ln (\frac{1 - h e^{- ξ t}}{1 - h})] + v_{t} g [\frac{1 - e^{- ξ t}}{1 - h e^{- ξ t}}]),

g = \frac{1}{2} (b - ξ), h = \frac{b - ξ}{b + ξ}, t = σ_{v}^{2} T / 2,

ξ = {[b^{2} + 4 \frac{k^{2} - i k}{σ_{v}^{2}}]}^{\frac{1}{2}},

b = \frac{2}{σ_{v}^{2}} [(1 - γ + i k) ρ σ_{v} + \sqrt{κ^{2} - γ (1 - γ) σ_{v}^{2}}]

with

t = σ_{v}^{2} T / 2

. Here

γ

is the risk aversion parameter of the representative agent with

0 \leq γ \leq 1

and

γ (1 - γ) σ_{v}^{2} \leq κ^{2}

. The value

γ = 1

corresponds to

λ = 0

, where

λ

is the market price of risk in Heston (1993) (see Lewis (2000) and Rouah and Vainberg (2007)).

The price of a put option is obtained by put-call parity.

P_{put} = P_{call} + X e^{- r T} - S e^{- q T} .

Writing the expression for the price of a call option as

P_{call} = S e^{- q T} - X e^{- r T} \frac{1}{π} Re [\int_{0 + i / 2}^{\infty + i / 2} I (k, r, S, T, v) d k]

then the sensitivities or Greeks can be obtained in the following manner,

Delta

\frac{\partial P_{call}}{\partial S} = e^{- q T} + \frac{X e^{- r T}}{S} \frac{1}{π} Re [\int_{0 + i / 2}^{\infty + i / 2} (i k) I (k, r, S, T, v) d k],

Vega

\frac{\partial P}{\partial v} = - X e^{- r T} \frac{1}{π} Re [\int_{0 - i / 2}^{0 + i / 2} f_{2} I (k, r, j, S, T, v) d k],  where ​ f_{2} = g [\frac{1 - e^{- ξ t}}{1 - h e^{- ξ t}}],

Rho

\frac{\partial P_{call}}{\partial r} = T X e^{- r T} \frac{1}{π} Re [\int_{0 + i / 2}^{\infty + i / 2} (1 + i k) I (k, r, S, T, v) d k] .

The option price

P_{i j} = P (X = X_{i}, T = T_{j})

is computed for each strike price in a set

X_{i}

i = 1, 2, \dots, m

, and for each expiry time in a set

T_{j}

j = 1, 2, \dots, n

For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value

- 1 ​ or ​ 1

is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value

1

is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this argument, the recommended value is

0

On exit:

ifail = 0

unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

Accuracy

The accuracy of the output is determined by the accuracy of the numerical quadrature used to evaluate the integral in (1). An adaptive method is used which evaluates the integral to within a tolerance of

\max (10^{- 8}, 10^{- 10} \times |I|)

, where

|I|

is the absolute value of the integral.

8

Parallelism and Performance

s30nbf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

Please consult the X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.
