Rough Bergomi Model

Quant Researcher · Risk & Model Critique

Question

The rough Bergomi model (H0.1H \approx 0.1) fits the short-end of the implied vol surface better than Heston. What are the practical implementation challenges? Can you delta-hedge in this model — and if so, what is the hedging strategy? What breaks down in the delta-hedging argument compared to a Markovian model?
