Abstract

In this paper, we study the lookback option of the American style suggested in Dai (Journal of Computational Finance 4(2):63–68, 2000), and Dai and Kwok (SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics 66(1):206–227, 2005) under stochastic volatility. By the asymptotic analysis introduced in Fouque et al. (Derivatives in financial markets with stochastic volatility, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2000), we derive the explicit formula for the price and the optimal exercise value of the option with infinity maturity whose volatility follows the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process. Especially, we investigate the effects of the stochastic volatility on the perpetual American lookback option in comparison with the constant volatility [cf. (Black and Scholes in The Journal of Political Economy 81(3):637–654, 1973] by using the results of the computational experiment.
