Functional Feynman-Kac Formula

€

dx t = a(X t ) dt + b(X t ) dwt

For g and r suitably integrable, g : ΛT →ℜ, r : Λ →ℜ we define f :Λ →ℜ by

f (Yt ) ≡ E[e− r(Z u )

t

T

∫ dug(ZT ) | Zt = Yt ]

where for u∈ [0, t],ZT (u) = Yt (u)

for u∈ [t,T],dzu = a(Zu) du + b(Zu) dwu

⎧ ⎨ ⎩

Then f satisfies

Δ t f (X t ) + a(X t )Δx f (X t ) − r(X t ) f (X t ) +b2(X t )

2Δxx f (X t ) = 0

(From functional Ito formula, using that e− r(Z u )

0

t

∫ duf (X t ) is a martingale)

Functional PDE for Exotics

€

Recallthat

df (X t ) = Δx f (X t ) dx + Δ t f (X t ) dt +1

2b2Δxx f (X t ) dt

The portfolio PF of option f with a short position of Δx f stocksgives :

dPF(X t ) = Δ t f (X t ) dt +1

2b2Δxx f (X t ) dt

In the absence of arbitrage,

Δ t f (X t ) +1

2b2Δxx f (X t ) + r(X t )(Δx f (X t )x t − f (X t )) = 0

The ?/Θ trade - off for European options also holds for

path dependent options, even with an infinite number of state variables.

However, in general ? and Θ will be path dependent.

Summary of LVM

• Simplest model that fits vanillas

• In Europe, second most used model (after Black-Scholes) in Equity Derivatives

• Local volatilities: fwd vols that can be locked by a vanilla PF

• Stoch vol model calibrated

• If no jumps, deterministic implied vols => LVM

Hedge within/outside LVM

• 1 Brownian driver => complete model

• Within the model, perfect replication by Delta hedge

• Hedge outside of (or against) the model: hedge against volatility perturbations

• Leads to a decomposition of Vega across strikes and maturities

Conclusion

• Ito calculus can be extended to functionals of price paths

• Local volatilities are forward values that can be locked

• LVM crudely states these volatilities will be realised

• It is possible to hedge against this assumption

• It leads to a strike/maturity decomposition of the volatility risk of the full portfolio
