Volatility Surfaces
In addition to analytics on individual contracts, Cboe Hanweck Options Analytics computes standard volatility surfaces for computing theoretical option prices and more general purpose volatility modeling. Expressed as standard constant maturity tenors with several different money-ness factors, risk managers can be certain to have a continuous set of volatility data points. Our constant maturity approach interpolates volatility points that fall between stated option expiries.
- Volatility points are calculated on both delta-relative and price-relative (e.g., % of spot) perspectives.
- Delta- and price-relative points are also available at listed option expiries.
- Stochastic volatility models such as SABR are also available.
Customizable Instances
If you need a customized volatility model or prefer to tailor data and model inputs, Cboe Hanweck can configure a unique, dedicated instance for your business needs.
