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...

This paper uses an extensive set of market data of forward swap rates and swaptions covering 3 July 2002 to 21 May 2009 to identify a two-dimensional stochastic volatility process for the level of rates. The process is identified step by step by increasing the requirement of the model and...

We propose a generalized arbitrage-free Nelson-Siegel model under the HJM framework. It features unspanned stochastic volatility factors while maintaining a Nelson-Siegel factor loading structure. The price of the interest rate derivatives, including European options, Caps and Swaptions are then...
