Cdo Tranche Sensitivities in the Gaussian Copula Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We derive explicit formulas for CDO tranche sensitivity to parameter variations, and prove results concerning the qualitative behavior of such tranche sensitivities, for a homogeneous portfolio governed by the onefactor Gaussian copula. Similar results are also derived for a Poisson-mixture model.

CDO Pricing Using Gaussian Mixture Model with Transformation of Loss Distribution
We present a new approach to price CDOˆ2-type transactions consistently with the pricing of the underlying CDOs. We first present an extension to the current market standard model using a Gaussian mixture (GM) copula model instead of one parameter single Gaussian Copula model. It shows that GM broadly captures the correlation skew shown in the index tranche market, but not exactly and across ti...
متن کاملEmpirical Copulas for Cdo Tranche Pricing Using Relative Entropy
We discuss the general optimization problem of choosing a copula with minimum entropy relative to a specified copula and a computationally intensive procedure to solve its dual. These techniques are applied to constructing an empirical copula for CDO tranche pricing. The empirical copula is chosen to be as close as possible to the industry standard Gaussian copula while ensuring a close fit to ...
متن کاملValuation Bounds of Tranche Options
We performed a comprehensive analysis on the price bounds of CDO tranche options, and illustrated that the CDO tranche option prices can be effectively bounded by the joint distribution of default time (JDDT ) from a default time copula. Systemic and idiosyncratic factors beyond the JDDT only contribute a limited amount of pricing uncertainty. The price bounds of tranche option derived from a d...
متن کاملA comprehensive Analysis of Advanced Pricing Models for Collateralised Debt Obligations
The subject of this paper is the single tranche portfolio credit default swap or synthetic single tranche CDO, which has received a great deal of interest in recent years. Unlike single name CDS, tranche portfolio products depend on the joint default behavior of the underlying credits or in other words their default correlation.The Gaussian copula has emerged as a market standard for modeling t...
متن کاملPricing and Hedging of Cdo-squared Tranches by Using a One Factor Lévy Model
This paper provides a comparison of the exponential copula Lévy model with the classical Gaussian copula model for the pricing of CDO-squared tranches. Several approximations of the recursive approach are considered: a full Monte Carlo approximation, a multivariate Normal approximation of the joint inner CDO loss distribution and a multivariate Poisson approximation of the joint number of defau...
