Indifference pricing and hedging in stochastic volatility models
نویسنده
چکیده
We apply the concepts of utility based pricing and hedging of derivatives in stochastic volatility markets and introduce a new class of “reciprocal affine” models for which the indifference price and optimal hedge portfolio for pure volatility claims are efficiently computable. We obtain a general formula for the market price of volatility risk in these models and calculate it explicitly for the case of an exponential utility.

Pricing and Hedging in Stochastic Volatility Regime Switching Models
We consider general regime switching stochastic volatility models where both the asset and the volatility dynamics depend on the values of a Markov jump process. Due to the stochastic volatility and the Markov regime switching, this financial market is thus incomplete and perfect pricing and hedging of options are not possible. Thus, we are interested in finding formulae to solve the problem of...
متن کاملEmpirical Performance of Alternative Option Pricing Models
Substantial progress has been made in developing more realistic option pricing models. Empirically, however, it is not known whether and by how much each generalization improves option pricing and hedging. We ll this gap by rst deriving an option model that allows volatility, interest rates and jumps to be stochastic. Using S&P 500 options, we examine several alternative models from three persp...
متن کاملPricing and Hedging Options under Stochastic Volatility
In this essay, I mainly discuss how to price and hedge options in stochastic volatility (SV) models. The market is incomplete in the SV model, whereas it is complete in the Black-Scholes model. Thus the option pricing and hedging methods are a little different for the SV model and for the Black-Scholes model. The no-arbitrage argument and the risk-neutral valuation method are two general method...
متن کاملPricing Options from the Point of View of a Trader
This paper is a contribution to the pricing and hedging of options in a market where the volatility is stochastic. The new concept of relative indifference pricing is further developed. This relative price is the price at which an option trader is indifferent to trade in an additional option, given that he is currently holding and dynamically hedging a portfolio of options. We find that the app...
متن کاملOptimal Static-Dynamic Hedges for Barrier Options
We study optimal hedging of barrier options using a combination of a static position in vanilla options and dynamic trading of the underlying asset. The problem reduces to computing the Fenchel-Legendre transform of the utility-indifference price as a function of the number of vanilla options used to hedge. Using the well-known duality between exponential utility and relative entropy, we provid...
