We generalize the algorithmic differentiation method proposed by Antonov (2016) from price Greeks to XVA Greeks. This method, named Backward Differentiation (BD), was developed in the context of computing price or PV Greeks for individual callable exotic trades.We start by treating cases where...

In this article, we study the algorithmic calculation of present values greeks for callable exotic instruments. The speed of greeks evaluations becomes important with recent initial margin rules, including the ISDA standard model SIMM, requiring sensitivity calculations for non-cleared deals...

Computing Standardized Initial Margin Model Margin Valuation Adjustment (SIMM-MVA) requires the simulation of future sensitivities, but these are expensive to compute for callable products. This paper introduces a method which avoids nested calls to the pricing function, similar to the use of...

This paper examines the association between option-implied interest rate distributions and macroeconomic expectations in the context of a forward-looking monetary policy rule. We presume that market participants view the policy rule as a guide to the path of future policy rates and price...

We develop highly-efficient parallel Partial Differential Equation (PDE) based pricing methods on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) for multi-asset American options. Our pricing approach is built upon a combination of a discrete penalty approach for the linear complementarity problem arising due...

Constant maturity swaps (CMS), CMS spreads and similar products are analyzed in multi-factor HJM models. For Gaussian models, which include some Libor Market Models and the G2 model, explicit approximated formula are provided. The approximations are done through two different approaches: an...

A callable leveraged constant maturity swap (CMS) spread note allows the holder to benefit from future changes in the spread between two swap interest rates. The issues retains the right to call the note at pre-specified times in the future. The note is priced via Monte Carlo simulation using...

Given a spread option with underlyings X,Y and a copula model, we construct explicitly payoff functions f and g such that all first order greeks of the spread option with respect to the marginal distributions are matched by those of the replication portfolio {f(X),g(Y)}.Standard replication...

We discuss efficient pricing methods via a Partial Differential Equation (PDE) approach for long dated foreign exchange (FX) interest rate hybrids under a three-factor multi-currency pricing model with FX volatility skew. The emphasis of the paper is on Power-Reverse Dual-Currency (PRDC) swaps...

In this paper, I study risk-neutral probability densities regarding future Libor rates denominated in British pounds, euros, and US dollars as implied by option prices. I apply Breeden and Litzenberger's (1978) result regarding the relationship between option prices and implied probabilities for...
