Abstract: | This article discusses the construction of an options basket. The authors provide a construction technique by using Gram-Charlier-Edgeworth expansions and show how to express basket option skews and smiles in terms of its underlying components. The authors also illustrate the way market-dependent correlation is needed to fit observed properties of index options. |
