  • Patent number: 7958044
    Abstract: A method for determining the implied volatility of a swap option employs intuitive factors to arrive at a close approximate of volatility. The volatility curve is a convex shaped curve which more closely follows real market volatility than previous methods. The slope of the curve is provided by employing a premium model which allows for a correlation between rates and volatility. The convex shaped curve is arrived by assuming a lognormal distribution for the underlying volatility.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 7, 2011
    Assignee: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
    Inventors: Martin R. Watts, Luke Halestrap, Lionnel Pradier, Julia Chislenko, Pawel M. Lewicki, Ronald Levin
