Hedging LIBOR Derivatives in a Field Theory Model of Interest Rates
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate LIBOR-based derivatives using a parsimonious field theory interest rate model capable of instilling imperfect correlation between different maturities. Delta and Gamma hedge parameters are derived for LIBOR Caps and Floors against fluctuations in underlying forward rates. An empirical illustration of our methodology is also conducted to demonstrate the influence of correlation on the hedging of interest rate risk.

Hedging in the Possible Presence of Unspanned Stochastic Volatility: Evidence from Swaption Markets∗
This paper examines whether higher order multifactor models, with state variables linked solely to the full set of underlying LIBOR-swap rates, are by themselves capable of explaining and hedging interest rate derivatives, or whether models explicitly exhibiting features such as unspanned stochastic volatility are necessary. Our research shows that swaptions and even swaption straddles can be w...
متن کاملGeneralized Swap Market Model And the Valuation of Interest Rate Derivatives
In this paper we will establish a generalized Swap Market Model (GSMM) by unifying the stochastic process of swap rates with constant tenors under a single swap measure. GSMM is a natural extension of Libor Market Model (LMM) for swap rates, and LMM can be considered as a special case of GSMM since Libors is a special swap rate with the constant tenor of one period. GSMM can be applied for pric...

A self-contained theory is presented for pricing and hedging LIBOR and swap derivatives by arbitrage. Appropriate payoff homogeneity and measurability conditions are identified which guarantee that a given payoff can be attained by a self-financing trading strategy. LIBOR and swap derivatives satisfy this condition, implying they can be priced and hedged with a finite number of zero-coupon bond...
متن کاملCredit Risk in Lévy Libor Modeling: Rating Based Approach
Preface Modeling of credit risk has become a very important and rapidly expanding field of mathematical finance in the last fifteen years. Apart from a purely academic interest, the credit derivatives industry clearly needs advanced mathematical models to objectively assess and hedge this kind of risk, which was only underlined by the recent financial crisis. Although there exist several credit...
متن کاملCounterparty Risk on Interest Rate Derivatives in a Multiple Curve Setup
We study the valuation and hedging of CSA interest rate derivatives. By CSA interest rate derivatives, we mean a portfolio of OTC interest rate derivatives between two defaultable counterparties, connected by the means of a netting agreement regarding the counterparty risk related cash flows between the two parties. CSA cash flows comprise the collateral relative to this netted set of contracts...
