Perpetual convertible bonds in jump-diffusion models

چکیده
A convertible (callable) bond is a security that the holder can convert into a specified number of underlying shares. In addition, the issuer can recall the bond, paying some compensation, or force the holder to convert it immediately. We give an explicit solution to the corresponding optimal stopping game in the context of a reduced form model driven by a Brownian motion and a compound Poisson process with exponential jumps. It turns out that the occurrence of jumps leads to optimal stopping strategies whose structure differs from the results for continuous models.

A Fourier transform-based method for convertible bonds in a jump diffusion setting with stochastic interest rates
The paper proposes a fast Fourier transform (FFT) pricing algorithm for convertible bonds in a framework which comprises firm value, evolving as an exponential jump diffusion, and correlated stochastic interest rates movements. This is a novel numerical technique for the convertible bonds literature and aims at fixing dimensionality and convergence limitations previously reported for popular gr...
متن کاملValuation of Game Options in Jump-Diffusion Model and with Applications to Convertible Bonds
Game option is an American-type option with added feature that the writer can exercise the option at any time before maturity. In this paper, we consider some type of game options and obtain explicit expressions through solving Stefanfree boundary problems under condition that the stock price is driven by some jump-diffusion process. Finally, we give a simple application about convertible bonds.
متن کاملPerpetual Convertible Bonds
A firm issues a convertible bond. At each subsequent time, the bondholder must decide whether to continue to hold the bond, thereby collecting coupons, or to convert it to stock. The firm may at any time call the bond. Because calls and conversions often occur far from maturity, it is not unreasonable to model this situation with a perpetual convertible bond, i.e., a convertible coupon-paying b...
متن کاملPricing Model for Convertible Bonds: A Mixed Fractional Brownian Motion with Jumps
A mathematical model to price convertible bonds involving mixed fractional Brownian motion with jumps is presented. We obtain a general pricing formula using the risk neutral pricing principle and quasi-conditional expectation. The sensitivity of the price to changing various parameters is discussed. Theoretical prices from our jump mixed fractional Brownian motion model are compared with the p...
