alternative to the Black-Scholes model known as the q-alpha-sigma model. This model captures much of the smile and so reduces the volatility surface to a one-dimensional term structure curve. We study the dynamics of this curve using principal component analysis and a GARCH model. This allows us to implement a simple vega-hedging strategy. 1 Introduction It is well known that the Black-Scholes model fails to accurately predict option prices. This failure can be parametrized by the so-called volatility
