Based on the Partial Distribution (Feng Dai, 2001), a new model to price an asset (MPA) is given. Going a step further, this paper puts forward the Multivariate Partial Distribution (MPD) for the first time. By use of MPD, we could gain a new kind of model for pricing the group assets (MPGA), in...

We develop the algorithmic approach for Counterparty exposure calculation and automate its application to arbitrary complicated instruments. Assuming that the portfolio is priced by the backward (American) Monte-Carlo method, our approach allows calculating the credit exposure as a pricing...

In this paper, we present advanced analytical formulas for SABR model option pricing. The first technical result consists of a new exact formula for the zero correlation case. This closed form is a simple 2D integration of elementary functions, particularly attractive for numerical...

We develop a technique of parameter averaging and Markovian projection on a quadratic volatility model based on a term-by-term matching of the asymptotic expansions of option prices in volatilities. In doing so, we revisit the procedure of asymptotic expansion and show that the use of the...

We propose a new methodology for obtaining arbitrage free European option prices from a SABR-like parameterisation. The method consists of specifying the joint distribution of the volatility and underlying at a given expiry and requires the calculation of a simple one-dimensional numerical...

In this article, we study the algorithmic calculation of present values greeks for callable exotic instruments. The speed of greeks evaluations becomes important with recent initial margin rules, including the ISDA standard model SIMM, requiring sensitivity calculations for non-cleared deals...

We suggest a new way of setting up multifactor models with hidden variables. We claim that the standard initial condition, which assigns some fixed value to the stochastic volatility subprocess, is illogical and greatly underestimates the effect of the hidden variable. For instance, a stochastic...

Stochastic volatility models are widely used in interest rate modeling to match the option smiles -- the two most popular are the Heston model and the SABR one. These have been incorporated into arbitrage-free term structure frameworks, Heston-LMM and SABR-LMM respectively.In this paper we...

In the current low-interest-rate environment, extending option models to negative rates has become an important issue. In our previous paper, we introduced the Free SABR model, which is a natural and an attractive extension to the classical SABR model. In spite of its advantages over the Shifted...

In this paper we examine the Heston model in the limit of infinitely fast mean-reversion for the stochastic volatility process (CIR). We show that, under an appropriate scaling of the model parameters, the two-factor stochastic volatility Heston model can be exactly mapped to a one-factor...
