Many banking and insurance products, such as mortgages, cancellable bonds, and life insurance products, contain Bermudan interest rate options associated with early redemption or cancella- tion of the contract. The abundance of these options makes evident Pricing models for that their proper valuation and risk measurement are important to banks and insurance companies.

Pricing models must be arbitrage-free, and consistent with (calibrated to) prices of actively traded underlying options. interest rate derivatives Model dynamics need be consistent with the observed dynamics of the term structure of interest rates, e.g., correlation between inte- rest rates. Moreover, valuation algorithms need be efficient: Finan- cial decisions based on derivatives pricing calculations often need to be made in seconds, rather than hours or days. In recent years, a successful class of models has appeared in the literature known as market models. This thesis extends the theory of market models, in the following ways: (i) it introduces a new, efficient, and more accurate approximate pricing technique, (ii) it presents two new and fast algorithms for correlation-calibration, (iii) it develops new models that enable efficient calibration for a whole new range of deriva- tives, such as fixed-maturity Bermudan swaptions, and (iv) it presents novel empirical comparisons of the performance of existing calibra- tion techniques and models, in terms of reduction of risk.

Lesniewski Interest Rate and Credit Models Convexity in LIBOR CMS rates and instruments The uses of Girsanov’s theorem Convexity In financial lingo, convexity is a broadly understood and often non-specific term for nonlinear behavior of the price of an instrument as a function of evolving markets. Typically, such convexities reflect the presence of some sort of optionality embedded in the instrument. In this lecture we will focus on a number of convexities which arise in interest rates markets. Convex behavior in interest rate markets manifests itself as the necessity to include convexity corrections to various popular interest rates and they can be blessings and nightmares of market practitioners. From the perspective of financial modeling they arise as the results of valuation done under the “wrong” martingale measure. A. Lesniewski Interest Rate and Credit Models Convexity in LIBOR CMS rates and instruments The uses of Girsanov’s theorem Convexity Throughout this lecture we will be making careful notational distinction between stochastic processes, such as prices of zero coupon bonds, and their current (known) values. The latter will be indicated by the subscript 0. Thus, as in the previous lectures, (i) P0(t; T ) = P(0; t; T ) denotes the current value of the forward discount factor, (ii) P(t; T ) = P(t; t; T ) denotes the time t value of the stochastic process describing the price of the zero coupon bond maturing at T .

  • Convexity Adjustment for Constant Maturity Swaps and Libor-In-Arrears Basis Swaps12
    TMG Financial Products Inc. 475 Steamboat Road Greenwich, CT 06830 Thomas S. Coleman 15 November 1995 VP, Risk Management, 203-861-8993 revised 30 August 1996 CONVEXITY ADJUSTMENT FOR CONSTANT MATURITY SWAPS AND LIBOR-IN-ARREARS BASIS SWAPS12 INTRODUCTION The Constant Maturity Swap or Treasury (CMS or CMT) market is large and active. The difficulty of evaluating the implicit convexity cost, however, makes the markets more opaque than would otherwise be the case. This note lays out a practical method for calculating the value of the convexity adjustment for the linear CMS/CMT and LIBOR-in-arrears payments. Both CMT/CMS and LIBOR-in-arrears swaps share the characteristic that the payment on one side of the swap is linear with respect to its index while the offsetting hedge is convex. The linearity of the payment (relative to the convex hedges) imposes a cost that leads to the "convexity adjustment" made to the linear payment. The basis of the approach used here is to 1. Find for each reset date the equivalent martingale measure (forward measure using a zero bond as numeraire) which makes the PV of a traded swap equal to its market value. In practical terms, this reduces to finding the "adjusted mean" of the rate distribution as of the reset date. For log-normally distributed rates, there are approximations which make this fast. 2. The same forward measure is then used to calculate the PV of the CMS/CMT swap or the LIBOR-in-arrears payment (which is not actively traded). This PV incorporates the convexity cost of the linear payment relative to its (traded) convex hedge.

All rights reserved. MSc THESIS APPLIED MATHEMATICS \The efficient pricing of CMS and CMS spread derivatives" Sebastiaan Louis Cornelis Borst Delft University of Technology Daily supervisor Responsible professor Dr. N. Borovykh Prof. dr. ir. C.W. Oosterlee Other thesis committee members Dr. P. Cirillo September 2014 Delft, the Netherlands Abstract Two popular products on the interest rate market are Constant Maturity Swap (CMS) deriva- tives and CMS spread derivatives. This thesis focusses on the efficient pricing of CMS and CMS spread derivatives, in particular the pricing of CMS and CMS spread options. The notional values for these products are usually quite large, so even small errors when pricing these products can lead to substantial losses. Therefore, the pricing of these products has to be accurate. It is possible to use sophisticated models (e.g. Libor Market Model) to price these products, however the downside is that these models generally have high computational costs; they are not very efficient. To efficiently price CMS options the Terminal Swap Rate (TSR) approach can be used. From this approach TSR models are obtained, we will consider four different TSR models. Two of these TSR models are established in the literature, the other two TSR models are developed in this thesis.

  • Nessie, Yetti and CMM the Search for Costless Positive Convexity
    Value Concepts from the BAS/ML Trading Desk Nessie, Yetti and CMM The Search for Costless Positive Convexity The Quants will tell you that “Convexity” is measured by the scale of the second derivative. The Engineers will describe it as a non-linear function. And the Bookie next door will probably tell that it is his profit in the deal. But no matter your definition, low-cost Positive Convexity is the Holy Grail of the high performance money manager. We like to describe Positive Convexity as the payout function where you can make more than you can lose given equal opposing moves in the market. In the simplest example, a cash Treasury Ten-year note will go up by 9 points if rates decline by 100bps but will only decline by 8 points if rates rise by a similar 100bps. The most powerful way to buy or sell Convexity is via options. Since the cost is usually only the (relatively) small upfront premium and the potential gain is unlimited, the measured Convexity will be quite large. Securities that exhibit large Convexity profiles usually have some sort of embedded option. Since positive Convexity is inherently good, bonds that are positively Convex tend to trade to lower yields, all else equal. Similarly, negatively Convex securities tend to trade to higher yields to adjust for the inferior payoff profile. MBS bonds are the most well known Convex bonds. They offer yields, on average, of 125bps greater than Ten year Treasuries in exchange for absorbing the call (pre-payment) risk. Corporate bonds are structurally similar to being long Treasuries and short an embedded “default option” to create the extra yield.

    MAFS601A – Exotic swaps • Forward rate agreements and interest rate swaps • Asset swaps • Total return swaps • Swaptions • Credit default swaps • Differential swaps • Constant maturity swaps 1 Forward rate agreement (FRA) The FRA is an agreement between two counterparties to exchange floating and fixed interest payments on the future settlement date T2. • The floating rate will be the LIBOR rate L[T1, T2] as observed on the future reset date T1. Recall that the implied forward rate over the future period [T1, T2] has been fixed by the current market prices of discount bonds ma- turing at T1 and T2. The fixed rate is expected to be equal to the implied forward rate over the same period as observed today. 2 Determination of the forward price of LIBOR L[T1, T2] = LIBOR rate observed at future time T1 for the accrual period [T1, T2] K = fixed rate N = notional of the FRA Cash flow of the fixed rate receiver 3 Cash flow of the fixed rate receiver collect N+NK(T22 -T) fromT- maturitybond floating rate 2 LT,T[12 ]is reset at T1 reset date settlement date tTT12 collect N atT1 from T1-maturity bond; collect invest in bank N+NLT(,)12 T account earning (-)TT21 LTT[12 , ]rate of interest 4 Valuation principle Apparently, the cash flow at T2 is uncertain since LIBOR L[T1, T2] is set (or known) at T1.

  • Convexity Adjustment for Constant Maturity Swaps in a Multi-Curve Framework
    Ann Oper Res (2018) 266:159–181 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10479-017-2430-6 ANALYTICAL MODELS FOR FINANCIAL MODELING AND RISK MANAGEMENT Convexity adjustment for constant maturity swaps in a multi-curve framework Nikolaos Karouzakis1 · John Hatgioannides2 · Kostas Andriosopoulos3 Published online: 6 March 2017 © The Author(s) 2017. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract In this paper we propose a double curving setup with distinct forward and dis- count curves to price constant maturity swaps (CMS). Using separate curves for discounting and forwarding, we develop a new convexity adjustment, by departing from the restrictive assumption of a flat term structure, and expand our setting to incorporate the more realistic and even challenging case of term structure tilts. We calibrate CMS spreads to market data and numerically compare our adjustments against the Black and SABR (stochastic alpha beta rho) CMS adjustments widely used in the market. Our analysis suggests that the proposed convexity adjustment is significantly larger compared to the Black and SABR adjustments and offers a consistent and robust valuation of CMS spreads across different market conditions.
