Asymptotics of Implied Volatility Far from Maturity
نویسندگان
چکیده
This note explores the behaviour of the implied volatility of a European call option far frommaturity. Asymptotic formulae are derived with precise control over the error terms. The connection between the asymptotic implied volatility and the cumulant generating function of the logarithm of the underlying stock price is discussed in detail and illustrated by examples.

Small-Maturity Asymptotics for the At-The-Money Implied Volatility Slope in Lévy Models
We consider the at-the-money (ATM) strike derivative of implied volatility as the maturity tends to zero. Our main results quantify the behaviour of the slope for infinite activity exponential Lévy models including a Brownian component. As auxiliary results, we obtain asymptotic expansions of short maturity ATM digital call options, using Mellin transform asymptotics. Finally, we discuss when t...
متن کاملThe Small-maturity Implied Volatility Slope for Lévy Models
We consider the at-the-money strike derivative of implied volatility as the maturity tends to zero. Our main results quantify the growth of the slope for infinite activity exponential Lévy models. As auxiliary results, we obtain the limiting values of short maturity digital call options, using Mellin transform asymptotics. Finally, we discuss when the at-the-money slope is consistent with the s...
متن کاملAsymptotics of Forward Implied Volatility
We study asymptotics of forward-start option prices and the forward implied volatility smile using the theory of sharp large deviations (and refinements). In Chapter 1 we give some intuition and insight into forward volatility and provide motivation for the study of forward smile asymptotics. We numerically analyse no-arbitrage bounds for the forward smile given calibration to the marginal dist...
متن کاملAsymptotic Skew under Stochastic Volatility
The purpose of this paper is to improve and discuss the asymptotic formula of the implied volatility (when maturity goes to infinity) given in [3]. Indeed, we are here able to provide more accurate at-the-money asymptotics. Such analytic formulas are useful for calibration.
متن کاملLarge-maturity Regimes of the Heston Forward Smile
We provide a full characterisation of the large-maturity forward implied volatility smile in the Heston model. Although the leading decay is provided by a fairly classical large deviations behaviour, the algebraic expansion providing the higher-order terms highly depends on the parameters, and different powers of the maturity come into play. As a by-product of the analysis we provide new implie...
