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...

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...

We develop space-time adaptive and high-order methods for valuing American options using a partial differential equation (PDE) approach. The linear complementarity problemarising due to the free boundary is handled by a penalty method. Both finite difference and finite element methods are...

Popular yield curve models include affine term structure models. These models are usually based on a fixed set of parameters which is calibrated to the actual financial market conditions. Under changing market conditions also parametrization changes. We discuss how parameters need to be updated...

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...
