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...

This paper proposes the sample path generation method for the stochastic volatility version of the CGMY process. We present the Monte-Carlo method for European and American option pricing with the sample path generation and calibrate model parameters to the American style S&P 100 index options...

We consider forward rate rate models of HJM type, as well as more general infinite dimensional SDEs, where the volatility/diffusion term is stochastic in the sense of being driven by a separate hidden Markov process. Within this framework we use the previously developed Hilbert space realization...

In this paper we study a fairly general Wiener driven model for the term structure of forward prices. The model, under a fixed martingale measure, Q, consists of two infinite dimensional stochastic differential equations (SDEs). The first system is a standard HJM model for (forward) interest...

This note presents an easily implemented, inexpensive, private sector innovation, a futures-friendly derivative (FFD) intended to compete with the unnecessarily credit-risky, dealer-traded, over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives, and their clumsy, expensive, government-mandated clearing...

Even if the name futures indicates a simple instrument, bond futures are complex. Several special features are embedded in the instrument. In particular the future is not written on one specific bond but on a basket of bonds, from which the short side can deliver the cheapest. This paper focuses...

This chapter surveys the literature on fixed-income pricing models, including dynamic term-structure models, and interest-rate sensitive, derivative pricing models. Our overview of conceptual approaches highlights the tradeoffs that have emerged between the complexity of the probability model...

The pricing of the European cash-settled swaptions is analysed. The standard market formula results are compared to results obtained from different models. Significant discrepancies are observed, justifying the title

We present a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) parallelization of the computation of the price of exotic cross-currency interest rate derivatives via a Partial Differential Equation (PDE) approach. In particular, we focus on the GPU-based parallel pricing of long-dated foreign exchange (FX)...
