Re: EAD and SA-CCR

We have updated the model section .  The naming of the modelling framework was kind of wrong and the market model framework is a better set-up than the  continuous curve model (HJM types/Multi-factor short rate)which is a bit akward given the correlation structure and likely to lead to Non-Markovian...

Re: Looking for a name if there is one

by change of variable (of tangent type), this looks like a particular instance of  a Fourier Integral Operator : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_integral_operator
doesn't it?

Re: EAD and SA-CCR

You need to ignore equations 3.11 as they are not used in the paper. Only zero coupon bond equations 3.12 are used and that is a 3 factor gaussian HJM with the correct correlation structure. There is a typo in 3.11 and they should have been 3 processes r_{i} that equation is there just for completen...

Re: EAD and SA-CCR

Hi Mike On the first point simpler approaches have shown their limits and an excess of conservatism in parameters attempts to mask their flaws. We advocate transparency and comparability with IMM but still remaining in a simple approach just slightly more complex than current SA-CCR. I like your que...

EAD and SA-CCR papers

Do you think capital rules are adequate? Think.no more. With my colleagues Chris and Mourad, we have cracked an inverse problem. We offer both a very simple platform for the control of capital adequacy and a simple extendible framework for a transparent discussion of the calibration of parameters im...

Re: Are basis spreads toxic?

I don't know either what it means, it is just my 2 pennies on a potential economic rationale given that if I am EURO investor and I want to buy say some bonds/Shares in the US that would yield say 5-6% Either I hedge with a rolling spot FX or CCBS and in this case the cost of hedging would be Dom ra...

Re: Are basis spreads toxic?

Cross currency basis spreads appeared ( or were more pronounced late 90s early 2000s ) in the context of the USD/Jpy carry trade Probably as a result of an equilibrium between Japanese investors averse to currency risk and who just bought FX options or PRSCs and those "risk neutral " who j...

Are basis spreads toxic?

Maybe a naive question: do basis spreads depend to some extent (I want to think to a large extent) on volatility surfaces ? Is the way forward to manage this kind of risk via basis spreads vegas? Are the hedges stable for some economic reason ?
Thanks for enlightening me

No-arbitrage SABR (Doust 2012) - Implementation Question

for large x, you should use the asymptotic expansion of exp(-x)*I_v(x) instead which is indeed part of the expression you are trying to compute.You can find the expansion on here :http://dlmf.nist.gov/10.40

Options Pricing with Illiquid Underlying

My 2p approach that accountants/auditors seem to agree with would be to:- mark at cost and use the model to mark variation of value. - try to quantify a reserve for liquidity, model risk with some approach for which you could argueThere is most likely no good way but has to make sense
