In this paper we formulate the Risk Management Control problem in the interest rate area as a constrained stochastic portfolio optimization problem. The utility that we use can be any continuous function and based on the viscosity theory, the unique solution of the problem is guaranteed. The...

We propose a term structure function, a two-factor variance process and a return process to jointly price SPX and VIX derivatives. The distinctive feature of the variance model is that the factor coefficients are time-varying and they are bonded with the term structure of variance swaps. The...

This paper presents an extensive test of the Libor Market on the Euro Cap and Swaption market. The deterministic LIBOR market model prices OTC cap exactly and prices OTC swaptions with errors well below two basis points. Tests for the hedging performance show that the deterministic LIBOR market...

Many pension funds and life insurers seek to hedge their exposure to low interest rates using long-dated interest rate derivatives. This paper extends an approach of Platen and Heath 2006 to price and hedge long-dated interest rate derivatives using a combination of Australian cash, bonds and...
