Abstract

We develop an asymptotic expansion technique for pricing timer options under general stochastic volatility models around small volatility of variance. Closed-form approximation formulas have been obtained for the Heston model and the 3/2-model. The approximation has an easy-to-understand Black-Scholes-like form and many other attractive properties. Numerical analysis shows that the approximation formulas are very fast and accurate.
