Looking at the valuation of a swap when funding costs and counterparty risk are neglected (i.e., when there is a unique risk free discounting curve), it is natural to ask "What is the discounting curve of a swap in the presence of funding costs, counterparty risk and/or collateralization". In...

We consider a generic framework for generating likelihood ratio weighted Monte Carlo simulation paths, where we use one simulation scheme K° (proxy scheme) to generate realizations and then reinterpret them as realizations of another scheme K* (target scheme) by adjusting measure (via...

In this short note we derive an exact simulation scheme for the joint distribution of (r(t),N(t)), where r denotes the short rate following a Hull-White model and $N$ denotes the numeraire.To sample the correct joint distribution of (r(t),N(t)) our scheme requires a two-factor Brownian driver....

In this paper we consider the valuation of total return swaps (TRS). Since a total return swap is a collateralized derivative referencing the value process of an uncollateralized asset it is in general not possible that both counter parties agree on a unique value. Consequently it is not...

In this note we consider a classical term structure model framework, that is, a HJM framework on a time-discrete tenor, like the LIBOR market model, using a sequence of tenor discretization, where the tenors are valid for a specific simulation time interval.The setup then allows to model dynamic...

In this paper we present an efficient implementation of automatic differentiations of random variables (see 'https://ssrn.com/abstract=2995695' https://ssrn.com/abstract=2995695).Using this implementation can increase the speed of the calculation of the automatic differentiation and reduce the...

In this note we derive a modified backward automatic differentiation (a.k.a. adjoint automatic differentiation, adjoint algorithmic differentiation) for algorithms containing conditional expectation operators and/or indicator functions. Bermudan option and xVA valuation are prototypical...

We consider the valuation and risk management of derivatives on defaultable assets such as bonds taking into account funding (FVA), cash collateral, underlying default, counterparty default (CVA) and default correlation using joint default poisson process. The framework can be considered as an...
