Abstract
Fractional Brownian motion (fBm) exhibits attractive features for financial modeling, including long-range dependence, path roughness, and anomalous diffusion. However, its non-semimartingale nature precludes the use of conventional no-arbitrage approaches to option pricing. We address this limitation by introducing a time-changed fBm, obtained by evaluating fBm at stochastic gamma activity time, where activity time represents cumulative executed trading time. The resulting process retains the defining properties of fBm while recovering the semimartingale structure. Building on this construction, we develop the fractional Variance Gamma (fVG) model and propose a generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation procedure for option pricing. An empirical analysis of the S\&P 500 yields an estimated Hurst exponent of approximately 0.45, consistent with mildly sublinear temporal scaling of return moments.
This paper extends the optimal investment control framework by incorporating fractional Brownian motion to capture long-range dependence and memory effects in asset prices. Replacing the standard Brownian component with a fractional Brownian motion governed by the Hurst parameter H with H∈(1/2,1), we employ the Wick–It...
This paper develops a unit-consistent actuarial framework for pricing capped cumulative temperature-index insurance under long-range dependence and stochastic variability. Daily temperature anomalies are modeled as increments of fractional Brownian motion evaluated at an operational time generated by the integral of a...
The mining sector plays a significant role in the national economy but is highly exposed to price volatility driven by environmental, regulatory, and global macroeconomic factors. These fluctuating conditions increase investment uncertainty, particularly for major commodity producers, necessitating a robust framework f...

In this work, we study the pricing of American options under stochastic local volatility (SLV) models extended by including stochastic correlation driven by an additional stochastic process. We generalize the class of SLV models by incorporating a flexible stochastic correlation structure. To price options within these...
This paper studies the valuation of continuously monitored geometric Asian options under a two-factor stochastic volatility model with stochastic long-term variance levels. We derive the joint characteristic function required for continuous geometric averaging and obtain analytical pricing formulas for fixed-strike cal...
The exact limiting distribution of a volatility target index has recently been established under a log-normal assumption on the risky asset. In this paper, we show that the structural limit remains valid under a broad class of stochastic volatility processes. In addition, we show that, when the limit of the joint distr...
