3 Texbook-syle IR Model has been obsolee Texbook-syle IR Model has been obsolee Texbook-syle Ineres Rae Model (such as LMM) has been ou of use for many years, a leas, in major invesmen banks Unable o explain non-negligible basis spread in cross currency swap (CCS) marke Unable o consruc consisen muli-currency framework FX forward (CCS + IRS) Exended IR models (wih muli curves) have been used for long, especially by US banks, o reflec (and o exploi) funding cos asymmery (such as Japan premium) in derivaive prices 3 / 37

5 OTC Marke and Collaeralizaion OTC Marke and Collaeralizaion Collaeralizaion The mos imporan credi risk miigaion ool margin call, selemen and associaed procedures legal specificaions are provided by CSA (Credi Suppor Annex ) Dramaic increase in recen years (ISDA [4]) 30%(2003) 70%(2009) in erms of rade volume for all OTC Coverage is up o 78% (for all OTC) and 84% (for fixed income) among major financial insiuions More han 80% of collaeral is Cash Abou half of he cash collaeral is USD Almos all he credi derivaives are collaeralized 5 / 37

6 OTC Marke and Collaeralizaion Impac of Collaeralizaion Impac of collaeralizaion : Reducion of Couner-pary Exposure Associaed change in CVA has been acively sudied Change of Funding Cos (opic of his alk) Require new mehodology for erm srucure consrucion Add cheapes-o-deliver opionaliy when here are muliple eligible collaeral Significan impac on derivaive pricing and risk managemen 6 / 37

7 OTC Marke and Collaeralizaion Source of Funding Cos Difference Unsecured Funding and Conrac (old picure) Cash Libor Cash=PV Loan A B opion paymen Libor is unsecured offer rae in he inerbank marke Libor discouning makes he presen value of Loan zero Libor discouning is appropriae for unsecured rades beween financial firms wih Libor credi qualiy Libor discouning (+ CVA) has been he sandard marke pracice 7 / 37

18 Imporan Insrumens and Marke Realiies Imporan Insrumens and Marke Realiies I is very dangerous o use exbook-syle implemenaion of IR models, because mispricing of various fundamenal insrumens: Tenor Swap (TS) Cross Currency Swap (CCS) FX Overnigh Index Swap (OIS) Hence, all he producs are mispriced Poenial loss can be a few % of ousanding noional Unable o recognize he imporan dela exposure, such as o Libor-OIS spread Proper conrol of risk exposure is impossible 18 / 37

19 Crieria for Models Workable in Real Business Crieria Consisen discouning/forward curve consrucion Price all ypes of IR swaps correcly: OIS, IRS and TS Take collaeralizaion ino accoun Mainain consisency in muli-currency environmen CCS basis spreads need o be recovered Sochasic Modeling of Basis spreads Allow sysemaic calibraion procedures Flexible enough o allow non-rivial erm srucure of spreads 19 / 37
