Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to consider how to forecast implied volatility for a selection of UK companies with traded options on their stocks. The authors consider a range of GARCH and log--ARFIMA based models as well as some simple forecasting models. Overall, it is found that a log-ARFIMA model forecasts best of short and long horizons.
