Abstract

En el presente trabajo se desarrolla el cálculo de la volatilidad implícita de la opción europea simple (vanilla) sobre el ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) a través de la optimización de la volatilidad en la ecuación de Black-Scholes-Merton (1973), suavizada mediante una regresión Kernel y ajustando la curva con 2 metodologías, el método de Newton-Raphson y el algoritmo de Brent-Drekker tomando como variable de entrada el precio de la opción call de cierre de mercado para los distintos precios de ejercicio y diversas fechas de expiración. Como resultado se obtendrá la superficie de volatilidad implícita de la opción del activo mencionado y se comparará con la de otros ETF sobre activos subyacentes de diferente naturaleza (divisas y commodities). / In this paper we will develop the calculations to obtain the implied volatility of the European simple (vanilla) option of the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) ETF, through the optimization of the volatility of the Black-Scholes-Merton (1973) equation, smoothed using a kernel regression and adjusting the curve using 2 methods, the Newton-Raphson method and the Brent-Drekker algorithm using, as input variables the closing market prices of the call options for different strike prices and different expiration dates. As a result the implied volatility surface of the option of the asset will be obtained and compared to other ETFs options with different types of underlying assets (currencies and commodities).
