Abstract

We employ Malliavin calculus techniques to compute the Delta of European type options in the presence of stochastic volatility. We obtain a general formula for the Malliavin weight and apply the derived formula to the well known models of Stein-Stein and Heston in order to show the numerical accuracy and efficiency of our approach.
