Abstract

We propose a model to quantify the effect of parameter uncertainty on the option price in the Heston model. More precisely, we present a Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman framework which allows us to evaluate best and worst-case scenarios under an uncertain market price of volatility risk. For the numerical approximation, the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation is reformulated to enable the solution with a finite element method. A case study with butterfly options exhibits how the dependence of Delta on the magnitude of the uncertainty is nonlinear and highly varied across the parameter regime.
