Create Heston model object for Vanilla, Asian, Barrier, DoubleBarrier, Lookback, PartialLookback, VarianceSwap, Touch, DoubleTouch, Cliquet, or Binary instrument

Since R2020a

Description

Create and price a Vanilla, Asian, Barrier, DoubleBarrier, Lookback, PartialLookback, VarianceSwap, Touch, DoubleTouch, Cliquet, or Binary instrument object with a Heston model using this workflow:

  1. Use fininstrument to create a Vanilla, Barrier, Lookback, PartialLookback, Asian, DoubleBarrier, VarianceSwap, Binary, Touch, Cliquet, or DoubleTouch instrument object.

  2. Use finmodel to specify a Heston model object for the Vanilla, Asian, Barrier, DoubleBarrier, Lookback, PartialLookback, VarianceSwap, Touch, DoubleTouch, Cliquet, or Binary instrument object.

  3. Use finpricer to specify a FiniteDifference, NumericalIntegration, or FFT pricing method for the Vanilla instrument object.

    Use finpricer to specify an AssetMonteCarlo pricing method for the Vanilla, Asian, Barrier, DoubleBarrier, Lookback, PartialLookback, Touch, DoubleTouch, Cliquet, or Binary instrument object.

Creation

Description

example

HestonModelObj = finmodel(ModelType,'V0'v0_value,'ThetaV',thetav_value,'Kappa',kappa_value,'SigmaV',sigmav_value,'RhoSV',rhosv_value) creates a Black model object by specifying ModelType and the required name-value pair arguments V0, ThetaV, Kappa, SigmaV, and RhoSV to set properties using required name-value pair arguments. For example, HestonModelObj = finmodel("Heston",'V0',0.032,'ThetaV',0.1,'Kappa',0.003,'SigmaV',0.2,'RhoSV',0.9) creates a Heston model object.

Input Arguments

expand all

Model type, specified as a string with the value of "Heston" or a character vector with the value of 'Heston'.

Data Types: char | string

Name-Value Arguments

Specify required pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: HestonModelObj = finmodel("Heston",'V0',0.032,'ThetaV',0.1,'Kappa',0.003,'SigmaV',0.2,'RhoSV',0.9)

Initial variance of the underlying asset, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'V0' and a scalar numeric value.

Data Types: double

Long-term variance of the underlying asset, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'ThetaV' and a scalar numeric value.

Data Types: double

Mean revision speed for the underlying asset, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Kappa' and a scalar numeric value.

Data Types: double

Volatility of the variance of the underlying asset, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'SigmaV' and a scalar numeric value.

Data Types: double

Correlation between the Wiener processes for the underlying asset and its variance, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'RhoSV' and a scalar numeric value.

Data Types: double
