The article you linked discusses why Black-Scholes Greeks are still used in risk management, even though there are more modern models available. Here’s a summary of the reasons:

  • Black-Scholes is a simple and well-understood model, which makes it easy to calculate Greeks.
  • Greeks are still a useful tool for risk management, even if they are not perfect.

SABR (Stochastic Alpha Beta Rho) is a more recent and complex model that can address some of the shortcomings of Black-Scholes. Here’s why SABR is used for risk management:

  • It can better capture the volatility smile, which is a common feature of option prices. The volatility smile refers to the fact that implied volatility is usually higher for out-of-the-money options than for at-the-money options.
  • It provides a closed-form formula for implied volatility, which means that it can be used to quickly and easily price options.

Overall, SABR is a more accurate and flexible model than Black-Scholes, but it is also more complex. Black-Scholes is still widely used because of its simplicity.
