Generalities on convexity adjustement

<t>To get the real value of the forward swap rate y, we have to do a convexity adjustementIn the Hull, there is a topic about convexity adujstement. According to the Hull, the convexity adjustment is equal to: -y*ti*F*sig(y)*rho*sig(F)*T/(1+F*ti)with.y the value of the forward swap rateF the forward...

Question on the berrahoui's paper

<t>Okmore precisely here is my pb: F1 and F2 are in fact CMS swap rates.Say F1 is the CMS30Y and F2 is the CMS2Y.1) If I understand well, if T is ten year, F1(T) must be the CMS30Y that starts is ten years.2) Now, what is Call(F1(T),x1 - 1pb,Sig1,T) ?? To me, this call on F1(T) is a Caplet, which ma...

<t>I have a question on the berrahoui's paper.Let's consider two Forward rate F1,F2 We want to price the option: Max(F1(T)-F2(T)-K,0) where K is a strike and the maturity T of the option. In this paper, it is said that we can calculate the value of this option if we can calculate the value of Proba(...

disavantage of the sabr model

How did you arrive at this conclusion?>>I didnt: But some specialists did. For some theoritical reasons: The sabr model is derived from small perturbations. So it only works for shot maturities, with strike close from the forward.
