We consider the performance of the delta hedging strategy obtained from a local volatility model when using as input the physical prices instead of the model price process. This hedging strategy is called robust if it yields a superhedge as soon as the local volatility model overestimates the market volatility. We show that robustness holds for a standard Black-Scholes model whenever we hedge a path-dependent derivative with a convex payoff function. In a genuine local volatility model the situation is shown to be less stable: robustness can break down for many relevant convex payoffs including average-strike Asian options, lookback puts, floating-strike forward starts, and their aggregated cliquets. Furthermore, we prove that a sufficient condition for the robustness in every local volatility model is the directional convexity of the payoff function.

The basic assumption that is often used in bond valuations is the assumption on the Black-Scholes model. The practical assumption of the Black-Scholes model is the return of assets with normal distribution, but in reality there are many conditions where the return of assets of a company is not normally distributed and causing improperly developed bond valuation modeling. The Fast-Fourier Transform model (FFT) was developed as a solution to this problem. The Fast-Fourier Transformation Model is a Fourier transformation technique with high accuracy and is more effective because it uses characteristic functions. In this research, a modeling will be carried out to calculate bond valuations designed to take advantage of the computational power of the FFT. The characteristic function used is the Variance Gamma, which has the advantage of being able to capture data return behavior that is not normally distributed. The data used in this study are Sustainable Bonds I of Bank Danamon Phase I Year  2019 Series B, Sustainable Bonds II of Bank CIMB Niaga II Phase IV Year 2018 Series C, Sustainable Subordinated Bonds II of Bank UOB Indonesia Phase II 2019. The results obtained are FFT model using the Variance Gamma characteristic function gives more precise results for the return of assets with not normal distribution.  Keywords: Bonds, Bond Valuation, Black-Scholes, Fast-Fourier Transform, Variance Gamma

A wide class of hybrid products are evaluated with a model where one of the underlying price follows a local volatility diffusion and the other asset value a log-normal process. Because of the generality for the local volatility function, the numerical pricing is usually much time consuming. Using proxy approximations related to log-normal modeling, we derive approximation formulas of Black–Scholes type for the price, that have the advantage of giving very rapid numerical procedures. This derivation is illustrated with the best-of option between equity and inflation where the stock price follows a local volatility model and the inflation rate a Hull–White process. The approximations possibly account for Gaussian HJM (Heath-Jarrow-Morton) models for interest rates. The experiments show an excellent accuracy.
