Abstract We study the pricing of timer options in a class of stochastic volatility models, where the volatility is driven by two diffusions—one fast mean-reverting and the other slowly varying. Employing singular and regular perturbation techniques, full second-order asymptotics of the option price are established. In addition, we investigate an implied volatility in terms of effective maturity for the timer options, and derive its second-order expansion based on our pricing asymptotics. A numerical experiment shows that the price approximation formula has a high level of accuracy, and the implied volatility in terms of its effective maturity is illustrated.

The aim of this paper is to derive a second-order asymptotic expansion for the price of European options written on two underlying assets, whose dynamics are described by multiscale stochastic volatility models. In particular, the second-order expansion of option prices can be translated into a corresponding expansion in implied correlation units. The resulting approximation for the implied correlation curve turns out to be quadratic in the log-moneyness, capturing the convexity of the implied correlation skew. Finally, we describe a calibration procedure where the model parameters can be estimated using option prices on individual underlying assets.
