“…As pointed out in [24,26] , the exact simulation of the asset price can, in certain stochastic volatility models, give rise to loss of the martingale property (because of the approximation of a continuous process by its discrete equivalent). This is especially seen, when the size of the time-step is large and for certain configurations of the SABR parameters, like small β values, close-to-zero initial asset values S 0 , high vol-vol parameter α or large initial volatility σ 0 .…”
