Abstract: |
In this talk, we investigate the option pricing under the FMLS (finite moment log stable) model, which can effectively capture the leptokurtic feature observed in many financial markets. However, under the FMLS model, the option price is governed by a modified Black-Scholes equation with a spatial-fractional derivative. In comparison with standard derivatives of integer order, the fractional-order derivatives are characterized by their “globalness”, i.e., the rate of change of a function near a point is affected by the property of the function defined in the entire domain of definition rather than just near the point itself. This has added additional degree of difficulty not only when a purely numerical solution is sought but also when an analytical method is attempted. Despite this difficulty, for European style options, we have managed to find a closed-form analytical solution after successfully solving the FPDE (fractional partial differential equation) derived from the FMLS model. After the validity of the put-call parity under the FMLS model is verified both financially and mathematically, we have also proposed an efficient numerical evaluation technique to facilitate the implementation of our formula so that it can be easily used in trading practice. On the other hand, for American-style options with early exercise feature, a predictor-corrector approach based on the spectral-collocation method is imposed, which can solve the option prices accurately and efficiently. Various numerical experiments suggest the validity of the proposed scheme. |
