Webinar: Construction of Volatility Surface for Commodity Futures
Multi-factor lognormal models such as Gabillon and Smith-Schwartz ignore the effects of volatility smiles commonly observed in the options markets. We present a practical, robust method for extending classical lognormal models to incorporate volatility smiles.
Presenter: Dr. Qimou Su, Director, Quantitative and Risk Analytics
Host: Dean Tallam, SciComp Sales Representative
Duration: 40 minutes
