Abstract

We extend the existing small-time asymptotics for implied volatilities under the Heston stochastic volatility model to the multifactor volatility Heston model, which is also known as the Wishart multidimensional stochastic volatility model (WMSV). More explicitly, we show that the approaches taken in Forde and Jacquier (2009) and Forde, Jacqiuer and Lee (2012) are applicable to the WMSV model under mild conditions, and obtain explicit small-time expansions of implied volatilities.
