ASYMPTOTIC FORMULAE FOR IMPLIED VOLATILITY IN THE HESTON MODEL

Abstract. In this paper we prove an approximate formula expressed
in terms of elementary functions for the implied volatility in the Heston
model. The formula consists of the constant and first order terms in the
large maturity expansion of the implied volatility function. The proof is
based on saddlepoint methods and classical properties of holomorphic functions.
