2 Bermudan callable products Simple example: (Bermudan) callable interest rate swap Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
3 Bermudan callable products Exotic example: cancelable snowball swap Snowball swap: Instead of the floating spot rate the holder pays a starting coupon rate I over the first year and in the forthcoming years (K + previous coupon spot rate) +, where the first coupon I and the strike rate K are specified in the contract. Cancelable snowball swap: The holder has the right to cancel this contract. What is the fair value of this cancelable product? Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
4 Optimal stopping Mathematical problem: Optimal stopping (calling) of a reward (cash-flow) process Z depending on an underlying (e.g. interest rate) process L Typical difficulties: L is usually high dimensional, for Libor interest rate models, d = 10 and up, so PDE methods do not work in general Z may only be virtually known, e.g. Z i = E F i j i C(L j) for some pay-off function C, rather than simply Z i = C(L i ) Z may be path-dependent Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
5 Optimal stopping The standard Bermudan pricing problem Consider an underlying process L in R D, e.g. a system of asset prices or Libor rates and a set of (future) dates T := {T 0, T 1,..., T k } Bermudan derivative: An option to exercise a cashflow C(T τ, L(T τ )) at a future time T τ T, to be decided by the option holder Valuation: If N, with N(0) = 1, is some discounting numeraire and P the with N associated pricing measure, then with Z τ := C(T τ, L(T τ ))/N(T τ ), the t = 0 price of the option is given by the optimal stopping problem V 0 = sup E F 0 Z (τ), τ {0,...,k} where the supremum runs over all stopping indexes τ with respect to {F Ti, 0 i k}, where (F t ) t 0 is the usual filtration generated by L. Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
6 Optimal stopping At a future time point t, when the option is not exercised before t, the Bermudan option value is given by with κ(t) := min{m : T m t}. The process V t = N(t) sup E F t Z (τ) τ {κ(t),...,k} Y t := V t N(t), called the Snell-envelope process, is a supermartingale, i.e. E F s Y t Y s Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
7 Optimal stopping Canonical Solution by Backward Dynamic Programming Set Y (i) := Y (T i ), F (i) := F Ti. At the last exercise date T k we have, Y (k) = Z (k) and for 0 j < k, Y (j) = max ( ) Z (j), E F j Y (j+1). The first optimal stopping time (index) is then obtained by } = inf {j, i j k : Y (j) Z (j). τ i Nested Monte Carlo simulation of the price Y 0 would thus require N k samples when conditional expectations are computed with N samples Typically, N=10000, k=10 exercise opportunities, give samples!!

9 Contents New approaches: I A path-by-path policy iteration methodology to improve upon standard methods (e.g. Longstaff-Schwartz, Piterbarg, Andersen) II Application to complex exotic structures III A linear Monte Carlo algorithm for price upper bounds via regression estimators of Doob martingale parts Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
10 Part I: Iterative methods Iterative construction of the optimal stopping time References: Kolodko, A., Schoenmakers, J. (2006) Iterative construction of the optimal Bermudan stopping time. Finance and Stochastics, 10(1), Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
11 Part I: Iterative construction of the optimal stopping time Improving upon given input stopping policies We consider an input stopping family (policy) (τ i ), which satisfies the consistency conditions: i τ i k, τ k = k, τ i > i τ i = τ i+1, 0 i < k, and the corresponding lower bound process Y for the Snell envelope Y, Y (i) := E F(i) Z (τ i) Y (i) Example input policies: The policy, τ i i. says: exercise immediately! The policy τ i := inf{j i : L(T j ) G R D } process L enters a certain region G exercises when the underlying The policy τ i = inf{j : i j k, max p: j p k E F(j) Z (p) Z (j) } waits until the cashflow is at least equal to the maximum of still-alive Europeans ahead Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
12 Part I: Iterative construction of the optimal stopping time Introduce an intermediate process One step improvement: Ỹ (i) := max EF(i) Z (τ p) p: i p k and use Ỹ (i) as a new exercise criterion to define a new exercise policy τ i : = inf{j : i j k, Z (j) Ỹ (j) } = inf{j : i j k, Z (j) max Z (τp) }, p: j p k Then consider the process Ŷ (i) := E F(i) Z ( τ i) as a next approximation of the Snell envelope Key Proposition It holds 0 i k Y (i) Ỹ (i) Ŷ (i) Y (i), 0 i k Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
13 Part I: Iterative construction of the optimal stopping time Iterative construction of the optimal stopping time Take an initial family of stopping times (τ (0) i ) satisfying the consistency conditions and set Y 0 (i) := E F(i) Z i τ (0) i k, τ (0) k = k, τ i > i τ i = τ i+1, (τ (0) i is constructed with τ (m) i Then define ), 0 i k. Suppose that for m 0 the pair ( ) (τ (m) i ), (Y m (i) ) being consistent and Y m (i) := E F (m) (τ iz i ), 0 i k. τ (m+1) i := inf{j : i j k, max EF(j) (m) (τ p Z ) Z (j) } p: j p k =: inf{j : i j k, Ỹ m+1 (j) Z (j) }, 0 i k, and set Y m+1 (i) := E F(i) (m+1) (τ Z i ) Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
14 Part I: Iterative construction of the optimal stopping time By the key proposition we thus have Y 0 (i) Y m (i) Ỹ m+1 (i) Y m+1 (i) Y (i), 0 m <, 0 i k. and it is shown that for m 1, where τ i τ (m) i τ (m+1) i τ i, is the first optimal stopping time. We so may take limits and it holds, Y (i) := (a.s.) lim m Y m (i) and τ i := (a.s.) lim m τ (m) i, 0 i k, and, Y (i) = (a.s.) lim E F(i) (m) (τ Z i ) = E F(i) Z (τ i ), 0 i k m Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
15 Part I: Iterative construction of the optimal stopping time Theorem The constructed limit process Y coincides with the Snell envelope process Y and (τi ) coincides with (τi ); the family of first optimal stopping times. We have Y (i) = Y (i) = E F(i) Z (τ i ), 0 i k. Moreover: It even holds Y m (i) = Y (i) for m k i After k = #exercise dates iterations the Snell Envelope is attained!

17 Part I: Dual upper bounds Upper approximations of the Snell envelope by Duality The Dual Method Consider a discrete martingale (M j ) j=0,...,k with M 0 = 0 with respect to the filtration ( F (j)). Following Rogers, Haugh and Kogan, we observe that j=0,...,k ] Y 0 = sup E F 0 Z (τ) = sup E F 0 [Z (τ) M τ τ {0,...,k} τ {0,,...,k} ] E F 0 max [Z (j) M j 0 j k Hence the r.h.s. gives an upper bound for the Bermudan price V 0 = Y 0. Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
18 Part I: Dual upper bounds Theorem (Davis Karatzas (1994), Rogers (2001), Haugh & Kogan (2001)) Let M be the (unique) Doob-Meyer martingale part of ( Y ) (j) 0 j k, i.e. is an ( F (j)) -martingale which satisfies M Y (j) = Y 0 + M j F j, j = 0,..., k, with M0 := F0 := 0 and F being such that Fj is F (j 1) measurable for j = 1,..., k. Then we have [ ] Y0 = E F 0 max Z (j) Mj. 0 j k Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
19 Part I: Converging upper bounds Convergent upper bounds from a convergent sequence of lower bounds From our previously constructed sequence of lower bound processes Y m (i) with Y m (i) Y (i), we deduce by duality a sequence of upper bound processes: Y m (i) up := E F i max i j k (Z(j) j l=i+1 Y m (l) + j l=i+1 Then, by a theorem of (Kolodko & Schoenmakers 2004), 0 m (i) E F i k 1 j=i max E F(l 1) Y m (l) ) =: Y m (i) + m (i). ( ) E F j Y m (j+1) Y m (j), 0. Thus, by letting m on the r.h.s., (a.s.) lim m m (i) = 0, the sequence Y m up converges to the Snell envelope also, i.e., 0 i k. Hence, (a.s.) lim Y m (i) up m = (a.s.) lim m Y m (i) = Y (i), 0 i k. Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
20 Part I: Application: Bermudan swaptions A first numerical example: Bermudan swaptions in the LIBOR market model Consider the Libor Market Model with respect to a tenor structure 0 < T 1 < T 2 <... < T n, e.g. in the spot Libor measure P induced by the numeraire B (t) := B m(t)(t) B 1 (0) m(t) 1 i=0 (1 + δ i L i (T i )) with m(t) := min{m : T m t}. The dynamics of the forward Libor L i (t) is given by a system of SDE s dl i = i j=m(t) δ j L i L j γ i γ j 1 + δ j L j dt + L i γ i dw. Here δ i = T i+1 T i are day count fractions, and t γ i (t) = (γ i,1 (t),..., γ i,d (t)) are deterministic volatility vector functions defined in [0, T i ], called factor loadings. Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
21 Part I: Application: Bermudan swaptions A (payer) Swaption over a period [T i, T n ], 1 i k. A swaption contract with maturity T i and strike θ with principal $1 gives the right to contract at T i for paying a fixed coupon θ and receiving floating Libor at the settlement dates T i+1,...,t n. So by this definition, its cashflow at maturity is + n 1 S i,n (T i ) := B j+1 (T i )δ j (L j (T i ) θ). j=i A Bermudan Swaption gives the the right to exercise a cashflow C Tτ := S τ,n (T τ ) at an exercise date T τ {T 1,..., T n } to be decided by the option holder. Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
22 Part I: Application: Bermudan swaptions 10 yr. Bermudan swaption: (20 underlying LIBORS) Comparison of Y 1, Y 2, Y 1,up, where τ (0) i i (trivial initial stopping family) θ d Y 1 (SD) Y 2 (SD) Y 1,up (SD) (0.5) (2.4) (0.7) (0.4) (2.4) (0.7) (ITM) (0.4) (2.1) (0.6) (0.4) (2.0) (0.6) (0.4) 381.2(1.6) 382.9(0.8) (0.3) 364.4(1.5) 366.4(0.8) (ATM) (0.3) 343.5(1.3) 345.6(0.7) (0.3) 338.7(1.2) 341.2(0.8) (0.2) 121.0(0.6) 121.3(0.4) (0.2) 113.8(0.5) 114.9(0.4) (OTM) (0.2) 100.7(0.4) 101.5(0.3) (0.2) 96.9(0.4) 97.7(0.3) Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
23 Part I: Application: Bermudan swaptions Conclusions from the tables: The computed lower bound Y 2, hence the second iteration, is within 1% or less (relative to the price) of the Dual upper bound Y 1,up Computation times (order of minutes) may be considered low in view of the high-dimensionality of the problem! Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
24 Part I: General conclusions Some more general remarks The iterative approach provides a general method for improving upon any given input stopping policy obtained by other means (e.g. Andersen, Longstaff- Schwartz) Computation times may be reduced further by a scenario selection method by Bender, Kolodko, Schoenmakers Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
25 Part II: Exotic products Pricing of path-dependent cancellables References: C. Bender, A. Kolodko, and J. Schoenmakers. Iterating cancellable snowballs and related exotics. Risk, pages , September Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
26 Part II: Exotic products Consider a path dependent cancelable contract which generates (possibly negative) cash-flows C 1,..., C τ up to a cancelation date τ. The cash-flows of this contract are equivalent to an aggregated cash-flow at cancellation date, B (T τ )Z τ := B (T τ ) τ Z j, j=1 with Z i := C i /B (T i ) being discounted cash-flows with respect to the numeraire B. Product price at time zero: V0 cancel := sup E F 0 Z τ = τ {1,...,k} sup E F 0 τ {1,...,k} τ Z j, j=1 where the supremum is taken over all stopping indices with values in the set {1,..., k}. Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
27 Part II: Exotic products Path-dependent callables A path dependent callable contract generates C τ+1,..., C k when called at τ. It is equivalent to the sum of a non-callable and a cancelable one (and vice versa): V0 call := sup E F 0 τ {1,...,k} k = E F 0 Z j + j=1 k j=τ+1 Z j sup E F 0 τ {1,...,k} τ ( Z j ) j=1 Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
28 Part II: Snowballs Example: The cancelable snowball swap Pays semi-annually a constant rate I over the first year and in the forthcoming years (Previous coupon + A Libor) +, semi-annually, where A is given in the contract. For this case we take K i := I, i = 0, 1, K i := (K i 1 + A i L i (T i )) +, i = 2,..., n 1, with A 2 := 0.03, A i+1 = A i for even i, A i+1 = A i for odd i. Cancelation is allowed for 2 τ < n, n = 20 (10 years) Effective discounted cashflows at T j : Z j := (L j 1(T j 1 ) K j 1 ) δ j 1, B (T j ) hence aggregated up to cancelation Z τ = τ j=1 Z j. Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
29 Part II: Snowballs Take an input policy satisfying construct the new policy and compute the iterated price Iterating the snowball swap i τ i k, τ k = k, τ i > i τ i = τ i+1, 0 i < k, τ i := inf{j i : Z j max p: j p k EF j Z τp } = inf{j i : 0 max p: j p k EF j Ŷ 0 := E F 0 Z τ0, τ p q=j+1 which is generally an improvement of Y 0 due to policy τ. Z q } Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
30 Part II: Snowballs Numerical results for typical market data Improved Andersen d Y (0; τ A ) (SD) Ŷ (0; τ A ) (SD) Y up (0; τ A ) (SD) (0.238) (0.318) (0.247) (0.231) (0.389) (0.293) (0.217) (0.460) (0.476) outer and 500 inner paths for Ŷ and outer (with 500 inner) paths for Y up. Improved least-squares regression method (Piterbarg) d Y (0; τ LS ) (SD) Ŷ (0; τ LS ) (SD) Y up (0; τ LS ) (SD) (0.243) (0.632) (0.313) (0.238) (0.466) (0.346) (0.224) (0.469) (0.379) outer and 500 inner paths for Ŷ and outer (with 500 inner) paths for Y up. Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
31 Part II: Snowballs Improving an Andersen-like optimization of the LS exercise boundary d Y (0; τ LS-A) (SD) Ŷ (0; τ LS-A) (SD) Y up (0; τ LS-A) (SD) (0.237) (0.349) (0.244) (0.230) (0.345) (0.244) (0.219) (0.456) (0.418) (0.217) (0.445) (0.430) outer and 100 inner paths for Ŷ and 5000 outer (with 500 inner) paths for Y up. τ LS-A, i = inf{j i : Z j H j + Y LS, j } with optimized constants H j. Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
32 Part II: Snowballs Message: (i) Price the callable using Pitterbarg s version of Longstaff-Schwartz; (ii) Improve the obtained exercise boundary with an Andersen-like optimization; (iii)compute the Dual upperbound due to the stopping time τ LS-A, 0; (iv)if there is still a significant gap between lower and upper bound, then improve the policy τ LS-A, i by the iteration method.

33 Part III: Fast upper bounds True upper bounds via non-nested Monte Carlo Joint work with D. Belomestny and C. Bender Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
34 Part III: Fast upper bounds For any martingale M Tj, 0 j k with respect to the filtration (F Tj ; 0 j k) starting at M 0 = 0 [ ] Y up 0 (M) := EF 0 max (Z T j M Tj ) 0 j k is an upper bound for the price of the Bermudan option with discounted cashflow Z Tj. Exact Bermudan price is attained at the martingale part M of the Snell envelope, YT j = YT 0 + MT j + FT j, M T 0 = F T 0 = 0 and F T j is F Tj 1 measurable Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
35 Part III: Fast upper bounds (I) Assume the underlying process L to be Markovian, and the filtration F to be generated by a d-dimensional Brownian motion W. (II) Assume Y Tj = u(t j, L(T j )) is some approximation of the Snell envelope Y T j, 0 j k, with Doob decomposition Y Tj = Y T0 + M Tj + F Tj, M T0 = F T0 = 0 and F Tj is F Tj 1 measurable. It then holds: Y Tj+1 Y Tj = M Tj+1 M Tj + F Tj+1 F Tj M Tj+1 M Tj = Y Tj+1 E T j [Y Tj+1 ], with M Tj =: Tj 0 H t dw t =: Tj 0 h(t, L(t))dW t, j = 0,..., k. Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
36 Part III: Fast upper bounds We are going to estimate h(, ) (hence H) at the finite partition π = {t 0,..., t I } such that t 0 = 0, t I = T, and {T 0,..., T k } π. We may write formally, Y Tj+1 Y Tj H tl (W tl+1 W tl ) + F Tj+1 F Tj. t l π;t j t l <T j+1 By multiplying both sides with (W d t i+1 W d t i ), T j t i < T j+1, and taking F ti - conditional expectations, we get by the F Tj+1 -measurability of F Tj, and so define H d t i 1 [ ] E F t i (Wt d t i+1 t i+1 Wt d i )Y Tj+1, i H π t i := 1 π i E F t i [ ( π W i ) Y Tj+1 ], Tj t i < T j+1, with π i := t i+1 t i and π W d i := W d t i+1 W d t i. Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
37 Part III: Fast upper bounds The corresponding approximation of the martingale M is MT π j := Ht π i ( π W i ). t i π;0 t i <T j Theorem: lim E π 0 where π denotes the mesh of π. [ ] max M T π 0 j k j M Tj 2 = 0 Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
38 Part III: Fast upper bounds The conditional expectations in the definition of H π are, in fact, functions of L(t i ). Precisely, H π t i = h π (t, L(t i )) = 1 π i E (t i,l(t i )) [ ( π W i ) u(t j+1, L(T j+1 )) ], T j t i < T j+1. which may be computed by regression: Take basis functions ψ(t i, ) = (ψ r (t i, ), r = 1,..., R) and N independent samples (t i, n L(t i )), n = 1,..., N of L(t i ) constructed from the Brownian increments π nw i, n = 1,..., N. Construct the regression matrix where A t i := (A t i A ti ) 1 A t i, A ti = (ψ r (t i, n L(t i ))) n=1,...,n,r=1,...,r Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
39 Part III: Fast upper bounds Result: ( ĥ π (t i, x) = ψ(t i, x) A π W i t i π i =: ψ(t i, x) β ti, ) Y Tj+1, T j t i < T j+1 where ( π W i π i Y Tj+1 ) = ( π n W d i π i ny Tj+1 ) n=1,...,n, d=1,...,d nỹt j+1 := u(t j+1, n L(T j+1 )), and β ti is the R D matrix of estimated regression coefficients at time t i., Finance Winterschool 2007, Lunteren NL Jan
40 Part III: Fast upper bounds Ŷ up ( M π ) = 1 Ñ Ñ n=1 True linear Monte Carlo upperbound: max 0 j k z(t j, n L(Tj )) ĥ π (t i, n L(Tj ))( π Wi ), t i π;0 t i <T } j {{} ( ) by doing a new simulation n L(Tj ), π n W i n = 1,..., Ñ.
