Variance-optimal hedging for target volatility options

Abstract / Introduction Related Papers Cited by
  • In this paper, we consider a variance-optimal hedge for target volatility options, under exponential Lévy dynamics. Since the payoff of target volatility options is related with realized volatility of some underlying asset, which is path-dependent, it is difficult to price this instrument. Here we will derive an explicit Föllmer-Schweizer decomposition of the contingent claim of target volatility options and then give the explicit expressions of hedging strategies in both discrete time and continuous time.
