In this paper, we discuss the problem of pricing discretely sampled variance swaps under a hybrid stochastic model. Our modeling framework is a combination with a double Heston stochastic volatility model and a Cox–Ingersoll–Ross stochastic interest rate process. Due to the application of the T-forward measure with the stochastic interest process, we can only obtain an efficient semi-closed form of pricing formula for variance swaps instead of a closed-form solution based on the derivation of characteristic functions. The practicality of this hybrid model is demonstrated by numerical simulations.

The main purpose of this paper is to present a novel analytical approach for pricing discretely sampled gamma swaps, defined in terms of weighted variance swaps of the underlying asset, based on Heston’s two-factor stochastic volatility model. The closed-form formula obtained in this paper is in a much simpler form than those proposed in the literature, which substantially reduces the computational burden and can be implemented efficiently. The solution procedure presented in this paper can be adopted to derive closed-form solutions for pricing various types of weighted variance swaps, such as self-quantoed variance and entropy swaps. Most interestingly, we discuss the validity of the current solutions in the parameter space, and provide market practitioners with some remarks for trading these types of weighted variance swaps.

Future Realized Volatility

Volatility swaps are contingent claims on future realized volatility. Variance swaps are similar instruments on future realized variance, the square of future realized volatility. Unlike a plain vanilla option, whose volatility exposure is contaminated by its asset price dependence, volatility and variance swaps provide a pure exposure to volatility alone. This article discusses the risk-neutral valuation of volatility and variance swaps based on the framework outlined in the Heston (1993) stochastic volatility model. Additionally, the Heston (1993) model is calibrated for foreign currency options traded at BMF and its parameters are used to price swaps on volatility and variance of the BRL / USD exchange rate.

In a recent study, Zhao et al. (2017) presented a tree methodology to evaluate the expected generalized realized variance in a general stochastic volatility model; it provided an efficient way of calculating the fair value of the strike for variance swaps. In this article, the authors expand the methodology to price nonlinear derivatives written on realized variance. They introduce a new option contract, a Bermudan variance swaption, defined as an option on variance swap with early exercise dates. Within the same framework they also show how to value forward-start variance swaps, VIX futures, and VIX options. Numerical tests show that the methodology is efficient and accurate.

AbstractWe develop a simplified analytical approach for pricing discretely-sampled variance swaps with the realized variance, defined in terms of the squared log return of the underlying price. The closed-form formula obtained for Heston’s two-factor stochastic volatility model is in a much simpler form than those proposed in literature. Most interestingly, we discuss the validity of our solution as well as some other previous solutions in different forms in the parameter space. We demonstrate that market practitioners need to be cautious, making sure that their model parameters extracted from market data are in the right parameter subspace, when any of these analytical pricing formulae is adopted to calculate the fair delivery price of a discretely-sampled variance swap.
