ABSTRACT
Rough volatility is a new approach to volatility modelling that uses stochastic processes rougher than Brownian motion to drive volatility, with the aim of accurately capturing the term structure of implied volatility without time-varying parameters. The rough Bergomi model (Bayer, Friz and Gatheral, 2016) is one of the first full-fledged rough volatility models. Currently, in the absence of any analytical pricing formulae, experiments with the rough Bergomi model require Monte Carlo pricing even for vanilla instruments. In my talk, I discuss some ideas that promise to offer a significant speed-up of Monte Carlo under this model. Joint work with Ryan McCrickerd.
