Abstract

Stochastic volatility models were introduced because option prices have been mis-priced using Black-Scholes model. In this work, focus is made on pricing European put option in a Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) stochastic volatility model with uncorrelated stock and volatility. The option is priced using two numerical methods (Crank-Nicolson and Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) finite difference). Numerical schemes were considered because the closed form solution to the model could not be obtained. The change in option value due to changes in volatility, maturity time and market price of volatility risk are considered and comparison between the efficiency of the numerical methods by computing the CPU time was made.
