On the martingale property in the rough Bergomi model

Mathematical Finance 2019-05-01 v3 Probability

Abstract

We consider a class of fractional stochastic volatility models (including the so-called rough Bergomi model), where the volatility is a superlinear function of a fractional Gaussian process. We show that the stock price is a true martingale if and only if the correlation ρ\rho between the driving Brownian motions of the stock and the volatility is nonpositive. We also show that for each ρ<0\rho<0 and m>11ρ2m> \frac{1}{{1-\rho^2}}, the mm-th moment of the stock price is infinite at each positive time.
