Two types of financial instruments including (overnight) compounding are studied in this note. The first one is overnight compounded instruments in the case where the settlement is delayed with respect to the end of the compounding period (floating leg of the OIS). The second is options on the...

A popular way to value (Bermudan) swaption in a Hull-White or extended Vasicek model is to use a tree approach. In this note we show that a more direct approach through iterated numerical integration is also possible. A brute force numerical integration would lead to a complexity exponential in...

We present an explicit formula for European options on coupon bearing bonds and swaptions in the Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) one factor model with non-stochastic volatility. The formula extends the Jamshidian formula for zero-coupon bonds. We provide also an explicit way to compute the hedging...

Australian dollar bills futures are very particular, not only on the valuation at expiry but also for the maturity delivery option and the credit delivery option. This note consider only the interest rate part of the futures (marginning and maturity delivery option). An explicit formula for the...

In practice the option pricing models are calibrated to market prices of liquid instruments. Consequently for those instruments, all the models give the same price. But the computed risk can be widely different. The note proposes comparison on simple instruments (swaptions) on a simple risk...

The twin brothers Libor Market and Gaussian HJM models are investigated. A simple exotic option, floor on composition, is studied. The same explicit approach is used for both models. Using an approximation the LLM price is obtained without Monte Carlo simulation. The results of the approximation...

Based on Jarrow-Yildirim model for inflation derivatives, this note propose an explicit formula for option on inflation bonds. The formula is similar to the one for coupon-bond option in the HJM model.

In the framework of the Hull-White model we present a semi-explicit approach to compute the delta and the gamma. The method is faster and more accurate than classical approaches, specially when compared to the Hull-White tree implementation.
