How are Markovian Projections used in Practice?

<t>Any thoughts on implementing this approach to simplify models from various asset classes and then copulate them together for CVA calculation purposes ?One plausible reason to do so would be to be able to map and track hedging from various models to simpler ones that need to be copulated after.reg...

Pricing numerically a forward start Asian

<r>Kamil,There is a symmetry result for forward starting Asians. Effectively a forward starting (or floating strike) Asian is equal to a fixed strike Asian but with different parameters.
