On Cross-Currency Models with Stochastic Volatility and Correlated Interest Rates

We construct multi-currency models with stochastic volatility and correlated stochastic interest rates with a full matrix of correlations. We first deal with a foreign exchange (FX) model of Heston-type, in which the domestic and foreign interest rates are generated by the short-rate process of Hull-White [HW96]. We then extend the framework by modeling the interest rate by a stochastic volatility displaced-diffusion Libor Market Model [AA02], which can model an interest rate smile. We provide semi-closed form approximations which lead to efficient calibration of the multi-currency models. Finally, we add a correlated stock to the framework and discuss the construction, model calibration and pricing of equityFX-interest rate hybrid payoffs.
