This paper proposes a simple and crude way of approximating the XVA sensitivities. In short, the idea is simply to recycle the existing base simulated portfolio values for the bumped ones. This is done by re-simulating the risk factors for the bumped market and finding out which other base state...

A model/hedging performance is relatively poorly covered in the literature. This is particularly valid for general portfolios including both vanilla and exotic instruments. Practitioners generally use so called \pnl explain which measures whether portfolio price movements can be explained by...

In the first part of this paper (Antonov-Bianchetti, 2013) we developed the theoretical framework for pricing financial instruments under multiple sources of funding, leading to a non-linear pricing PDE and to Funding Value Adjustment (FVA).In this second part we develop the numerical framework...

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...

Recent advances in machine learning are finding commercial applications across many industries, not least the finance industry. This paper focuses on applications in one of the core functions of finance, the investment process. This includes return forecasting, risk modelling and portfolio...

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...

Mr. Thomas Krawinkel's paper raises the issue of how limits on buying power in executing trades can have a significant impact on the active trader's system results or expectations. It sheds light on the fact that parallel trades consume buying power up to the point where any further trade must...

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...
