Abstract

We present a study of the short-maturity asymptotics for VIX and European option prices in local-stochastic volatility models with compound Poisson jumps. Both out-of-the-money (OTM) and at-the-money (ATM) asymptotics are considered. The leading-order asymptotics are obtained in closed-form. We apply our results to three examples: the Eraker model, a Kou-type model, and a folded normal model. Numerical illustrations are provided for these three examples that show the accuracy of predictions based on the asymptotic results.
