In this paper we propose a simulation algorithm for the Schöbel-Zhu (1999) model and its extension to include stochastic interest rates, the Schöbel-Zhu-Hull-White model as considered in Van Haastrecht et al. (2009). Both schemes are derived by analyzing the lessons learned from the Andersen...

We deal with discretization schemes for the simulation of the Heston stochastic volatility model. These simulation methods yield a popular and flexible pricing alternative for pricing and managing a book of exotic derivatives which cannot be valued using closed-form expressions. For the Heston...

The first three factors resulting from a principal components analysis of term structure data are in the literature typically interpreted as driving the level, slope and curvature of the term structure. Using slight generalisations of theorems from total positivity, we present sufficient...
