For arbitrage-free option prices, ARM provides extremely fast convergence and arbitrary accuracy. In the presence of noise, the closest arbitrage-free approximation is identified. Option prices and densities, as well as their moments and other parameters, are easy-to-handle analytic functions defined for arbitrary strike prices. ARM reveals inconsistencies between quoted option prices, particularly for longer durations. ARM is essentially based on the no-arbitrage assumptions; it is not related to a specific model. It has been tested for a selection of S&P 500, EuroStoxx 50, and DAX data. Excellent no-arbitrage fit to call and put prices is obtained; extrapolations are in line with the market.","PeriodicalId":34223,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Derivat","volume":"30 1","pages":"8 - 27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44621548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This happens in part because such models value equity as an option on the firm’s assets, and options on equity then become compound options that cannot generally be priced analytically. In this article, the authors present a consistent and unified framework for valuing equity and options on equity within the 1994 Leland model. The authors show that it is possible to value not only European call and put options but also exotic options such as barriers and lookbacks in closed form. Moreover, the authors show that the model produces an implied volatility skew that is typically observed in the equity options market.","PeriodicalId":34223,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Derivat","volume":"30 1","pages":"28 - 45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42062150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We generalized these results for multiasset situations. Reversing the relationships and expressing the higher-order Greeks (as gamma or cross gamma) in terms of the first-order Greeks leads to better numerical stability and convergence properties. We apply the results to evaluation and risk of an important energy asset as storage. In addition, we consider Greeks for the CEV model and the stochastic volatility case. At the time of our discussions, dating back in 2010–2011, I was mostly interested in applications for commodity derivatives. Peter suggested including the exponential Lévy model, his favorite subject; the CEV models; and the stochastic volatility case. In preparing this article, I kept the original draft, dated December 2011, of the write-up we worked out together. I reworked the write-up, and added storage models, numerical examples, and derivations.","PeriodicalId":34223,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Derivat","volume":"30 1","pages":"32 - 48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44774858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawdown has become ensconced in finance practice with some hedge funds shutting down portfolio managers who reach a certain drawdown limit. In this article, we show that, for every continuous local martingale that hits a given point m with probability 1, the running maximum of drawdown at the time of hitting m has the same inverse exponential distribution. We then derive prices and hedge ratios for binary calls on maximum absolute and relative drawdown maturing at the hitting time for m. We also derive prices for call spreads on maximum drawdown at the hitting time for m. These prices and hedge ratios are model independent across all continuous arbitrage-free stochastic processes that, with probability 1, either hit m or reach a drawdown equal to the strike price. This includes stochastic volatility models whose volatility is bounded away from 0 before hitting m or the strike. These results are both simpler and more general than prior work, which, while allowing for a fixed maturity, require infinite series representations, the use of complex derivatives to hedge and greater restrictions on the stochastic process. The key fact that facilitates our form of model independence is that the values of the derivatives at maturity are invariant to time changes.","PeriodicalId":34223,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Derivat","volume":"30 1","pages":"16 - 31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48611074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article investigates the role of realized semivariance in pricing the CBOE VIX and VIX futures, using a realized semivariance-based model. We obtain the closed-form pricing formula for the VIX index and VIX futures prices, and show that the new model provides superior pricing performance, both in-sample and out-of-sample. We further analytically derive the pricing formulas for the upside/downside components of the VIX (risk-neutral semivariance). Such a decomposition shows that the information gains from the conventional unsigned realized variance are concentrated on pricing the downside part of the VIX; the new realized semivariance-based model provides a larger and more balanced improvement for both the upside and downside components of the VIX. Our results provide strong evidence that the spread between upside/downside variance is the main driver of the asymmetry in return distributions.","PeriodicalId":34223,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Derivat","volume":"30 1","pages":"117 - 143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49157529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
