A rough SABR formula

Mathematical Finance 2021-05-13 v1

Abstract

Following an approach originally suggested by Balland in the context of the SABR model, we derive an ODE that is satisfied by normalized volatility smiles for short maturities under a rough volatility extension of the SABR model that extends also the rough Bergomi model. We solve this ODE numerically and further present a very accurate approximation to the numerical solution that we dub the rough SABR formula.
