In this paper, we investigate the price performance of outstanding CoCos after a new CoCo issue is announced by the same issuer. Contingent Convertible bonds or CoCo bonds are new hybrid capital instruments that have a loss absorbing capacity which is enforced either automatically via the...

In this work we introduce the notion of implied Core Equity Tier 1 volatility and the concept of a risk-adjusted distance to trigger. Using a derivatives-based valuation approach, we are able to derive the implied CET1 volatility from the market price of a CoCo bond in a Black-Scholes setting....

In this paper we obtain some formulas for pricing contingent convertibles subject to what we call extension risk, i.e., the possibility that bond issuer does not buy back the bond at pre specified call dates and then new coupons rate are established until bond maturity. We follow a structural...

We look at the problem of pricing CoCo bonds where the underlying risky asset dynamics are given by a smile conform model, more precisely an exponential Lévy process incorporating jumps and heavy tails. A core mathematical quantity that is needed in closed form in order to produce an exact...

This article provides an in-depth analysis of the pricing and structuring of contingent convertibles (CoCos) with extension risk. Under the new regulatory Basel III framework, CoCo bonds can be categorised as either belonging to the Additional Tier 1 or Tier 2 capital category. The Tier 1 CoCo...
