Risk-Neutral Correlations in the Pricing and Hedging of Basket Credit Derivatives
نویسنده
چکیده
Whereas a widely-held current view is that the correlation parameters occurring in the risk-neutral procedure for the pricing of basket credit derivatives should, at least in principle, be set equal to their real-world values obtained from historical data, the conclusion of this article is that the correlation parameters are risk-neutral parameters with a range of allowable values. As a result, buyers and sellers of basket credit derivatives have a wide range of arbitrage-free prices to choose from, and it is the market, not risk-neutral pricing, that determines, both in principle and in practice, a definite price. keywords: basket credit derivatives, correlations, collateralized debt obligations, first-to-default swaps

An Application of Genetic Network Programming Model for Pricing of Basket Default Swaps (BDS)
The credit derivatives market has experienced remarkable growth over the past decade. As such, there is a growing interest in tools for pricing of the most prominent credit derivative, the credit default swap (CDS). In this paper, we propose a heuristic algorithm for pricing of basket default swaps (BDS). For this purpose, genetic network programming (GNP), which is one of the recent evolutiona...
متن کاملCopula based simulation procedures for pricing basket Credit Derivatives
This paper deals with the impact of structure of dependency and the choice of procedures for rareevent simulation on the pricing of multi-name credit derivatives such as n to default swap and Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDO). The correlation between names defaulting has an effect on the value of the basket credit derivatives. We present a copula based simulation procedure for pricing baske...
متن کاملThe Application of Copulas in Pricing Dependent Credit Derivatives Instruments
The aim of this paper is to use copulas functions to capture the different structures of dependency when we deal with portfolios of dependent credit risks and a basket of credit derivatives. We first present the wellknown result for the pricing of default risk, when there is only one defaultable firm. After that, we expose the structure of dependency with copulas in pricing dependent credit der...
متن کاملPricing and hedging of credit derivatives via the innovations approach to nonlinear filtering
In this paper we propose a new, information-based approach for modelling the dynamic evolution of a portfolio of credit risky securities. In our setup market prices of traded credit derivatives are given by the solution of a nonlinear filtering problem. The innovations approach to nonlinear filtering is used to solve this problem and to derive the dynamics of market prices. Moreover, the practi...
