5 Introduction We have the LMMs why bother with shortrate models anyway? looking for a slim alternative to LMM try to capture as many features as possible with only few state variables few state variables will be faster in MC simulation few state variables will provide chance for PDE solution So give it a try...

6 setting and integrating yields df(t, T ) = σ f (t, T ) ( T f(t, T ) = f(0, t) + g(t ) g(t) HJM (I) t σ f (t, s)ds ) σ f (t, T ) = h(t)g(t ) ( x(t) + y(t) 1 g(t) dt + σ f (t, T )dw (t) T t g(s)ds ) with dx(t) = dy(t) = ( g ) (t) x(t) + y(t) dt + g(t)h(t)dw (t) g(t) ( ) g 2 (t)h 2 (t) + 2 g (t) g(t) y(t) dt 1/33

7 HJM (II) dx(t) = dy(t) = ( g ) (t) x(t) + y(t) dt + g(t)h(t)dw (t) g(t) ( ) g 2 (t)h 2 (t) + 2 g (t) g(t) y(t) dt with g (t) = k(t) g(t) g(t)h(t) = η ( t, x(t), y(t) ) yields dx(t) = ( y(t) k(t)x(t) ) dt + η (t, x, (t), y(t)) dw (t) dy(t) = ( η 2 (t, x(t), y(t)) 2k(t)y(t) ) dt 2/33

8 See e.g. [1], [2] Cheyette 1f (I) dx(t) = ( y(t) k(t)x(t) ) dt + η(t, x(t), y(t))dw (t) dy(t) = ( η 2 (t, x(t), y(t)) 2k(t)y(t) ) dt r(t) = x(t) + f(0, t) Zero Coupon Bond: P ( t, T ; x(t), y(t) ) = D(T ) ( D(t) exp G(t, T )x(t) + 1 ) 2 G2 (t, T )y(t) G(t, T ) = T t e R u t For any choice of η ( t, x(t), y(t) )! So, what is the best choice of η ( t, x(t), y(t) )? k(s)ds du = 1 k k(t (1 e t)) 3/33

9 Cheyette 1f (II) Displaced diffusion (DD) η(t, x) = ( m r(x, t) + (1 m)l ) σ(t) η(t, x, y) = ( m S nn (x, y, t) + (1 m)l ) σ(t) Constant Elasticity of Variance (CEV) η(t, x) = r(x, t) α σ(t) ; η(t, x) = S nn (x, y, t) α σ(t) DD with stochastic volatility (SV) η(t, x) = ( m r(t) + (1 m)l ) V (t)σ(t) dv = β(1 V (t))dt + V (t)ɛdw V ; V (0) = 1 4/33

10 Cheyette 1f (III) Displaced Diffusion: η(t, x) = ( m r(t) + (1 m)l ) σ(t) with m = 0 η(t, x) = ( mr(t) + (1 m)l ) σ(t) = Lσ(t) dx(t) = ( y(t) kx(t) ) dt + Lσ(t)dW (t) dy(t) = ( L 2 σ 2 (t) 2ky(t) ) dt yields extended Vasicek model t y(t) = e 2kt L 2 σ 2 (s)e 2ks ds 0 dx(t) = ( y(t) kx(t) ) dt + Lσ(t)dW (t) 5/33

11 Cheyette 1f (IV) Displaced Diffusion: η(t, x) = ( m r(t) + (1 m)l ) σ(t) with m = 1 η(x, t) = ( mr(t) + (1 m)l ) σ(t) = r(x, t)σ(t) dx(t) = ( y(t) kx(t) ) dt + η(x, t)dw (t) dy(t) = ( η 2 (x, t) 2ky(t) ) dt = ( x 2 (t)σ 2 (t) 2ky(t) ) dt we get a kind of lognormal model dx(t) = ( y(t) kx(t) ) dt + r(x, t)σ(t)dw (t) dy(t) = ( η 2 (x, t) 2ky(t) ) dt = ( σ 2 (t)x 2 (t) 2ky(t) ) dt 6/33

12 What do we have? Intermediate Summary (I) shortrate model with only few state variables variable volatility specification (including stochastic volatility) analytic function for zero coupon bond: P ( t, T, x(t), y(t) ) What do we need? fast calculation of instruments to calibrate to (e.g. swaptions) simulation of process scheme for PDE solving 7/33

13 Cheyette 1f Swaptions (I) Displaced Diffusion: η(t, x) = ( mr(t) + (1 m)l ) σ(t) Swaption in swap-measure (annuity measure) [3]: S nn (t) = P (t,t n) P (t,t N ) P N1 α i P (t,t i ) ds nn = S nn x dx = S ( ) nn mr(t) + (1 m)l σ(t)dw x [ ] SnN (mr(t) + (1 m)l) ( ) ms nn + (1 m)l σ(t)dw x (ms nn (t) + (1 m)l) ds nn ( ms nn + (1 m)l ) λ(t)dw x=y=0 Displaced Diffusion (lognormal in S): SWP = P V 01 E [ (S K) +] = P V [ 01 m E ( S K) +] = P V 01 BS( S, K) m with S = ms + (1 m)l ; K = mk + (1 m)l 8/33

14 Comments on approximation [3]: Cheyette 1f Swaptions (II) S nn (t) = P (t, t n) P (t, t N ) P N1 α i P (t, t i ) ; P (t, T ) = D(T ) D(t) exp G(t, T )x + 1 «2 G2 (t, T )y Errors in approximation freezing S x [ ] S x x=y=0 since E [ ] [ [ S ] S x E x removes variance ] expectation is biased x=y=0 The above effects are small and partially offsetting. (Unfortunately true only for m 0.) no drift correction for x(t) in annuity meassure residual skew and biased expectation 9/33

15 Cheyette 1f Swaptions (III) impl.vol log (m = 1) norm (m = 0) rel.strike ds nn = ( ms nn + (1 m)l ) λ(t)dw 10/33

16 Cheyette 1f Swaptions (IV) impl.vol approximation simulation normal (m = 0) 10y into 10y rel.strike 11/33

17 Cheyette 1f Swaptions (V) impl.vol lognormal (m = 1) 10y into 10y approximation simulation rel.strike 12/33

18 Cheyette 1f stochastic volatility (SV) SDE (see e.g. [2]): dx(t) = ( y(t) kx(t) ) dt + η(x, t) V (t)dw x (t) dy(t) = ( η 2 (x, t) 2ky(t) ) dt η(x, t) = ( m(t)x(t) + (1 m(t))l ) σ(t) dv (t) = β ( 1 V (t) ) dt + ɛ(t) V (t)dw V (t) dw x dw V = 0 Zero Coupon Bond: like in Cheyette without SV (Unspanned Stochastic Volatility) Zero Coupon Bond: P (t, T ; x, y) = D(T ) D(t) exp G(t, T ) = 1 k k(t (1 e t)) ( G(t, T )x(t) G2 (t, T )y(t) ) 13/33

19 Cheyette 1f SV Swaption (I) Start with time constant displacement (m): η(x, t) = ( mr(t) + (1 m)l ) σ(t) dv (t) = β ( 1 V (t) ) dt + ɛ(t) V (t)dw V (t) change of measure into swap-measure (like in non-sv case) due to 0-correlation between dw x and dw V no change of drift in dv Swaption in swap-measure (annuity measure) plus approximations: ( ) ds nn = ms nn + (1 m)l λ(t) V (t)dw dv (t) = β ( 1 V (t) ) dt + ɛ V (t)dw V (t) well known Heston SDE (+ Displaced Diffusion) 14/33

20 Cheyette 1f SV Swaption (II) ds nn = ( ) ms nn + (1 m)l λ(t) V (t)dw dv (t) = β ( 1 V (t) ) dt + ɛ(t) V (t)dw V (t) SWP = P V 01 E [ (S K) +] = P V [ 01 m E ( S K) +] = P V 01 Heston( S, K) m with S = ms + (1 m)l ; K = mk + (1 m)l The Heston part can be solved by fundamental transform (see below) volatility expansion 15/33

21 Heston( S, K) = S(0) + K 2π R da dt db dt Cheyette 1f SV Swaption (III) k i =0.5 = S(0) + K π iki + ik i S(0) K = βb ; a(t, ω) = 0 0 S(0) iω ln e K ω 2 iω ea(0,ω)+b(0,ω) dω cos ( k ln S(0) ) K k 2 e a(0,k+0.5i)+b(0,k+0.5i) dk = βb 1 2 ɛ2 (t)b λ2 (t)m 2 k 2 ; b(t, ω) = 0 Riccati ordinary differential equation has analytical solution for ɛ and λ constant, piecewise analytical solution for ɛ and λ piecewise constant and numerical solution for ɛ(t) and λ(t) (which is slower) Unfortunately λ(t) is not piecewise constant; (whereas σ(t) is) 16/33

22 Cheyette 1f SV Swaption (IV) can solve model with λ(t) and ɛ(t) and m cannot use lognormal property of Displaced Diffusion anymore when m becomes m(t) ds nn = ( m(t)s nn + (1 m(t))l ) λ(t) V (t)dw S dv (t) = β ( 1 V (t) ) dt + ɛ(t) V (t)dw V find time averaged variables to approximate dynamics: m for solvebility ; λ and ɛ for speed up d S nn = ( m S nn + (1 m)l ) λ V (t)dw S d V (t) = β ( 1 V (t) ) dt + ɛ V (t)dw V 17/33

23 Cheyette 1f SV Swaption (V) Average volatility of variance ɛ (V.Piterbarg[5]): Equate variance of realized volatility [( T E 0 λ 2 (t) V ) 2 ] (t)dt [( T = E 0 ) 2 ] λ 2 (t)v (t)dt yielding with w(t) = T t T s ɛ 2 = T 0 T 0 ɛ2 (t)w(t)dt w(t)dt λ 2 (u)λ 2 (s)e β(u s) e 2β(s t) du ds 18/33

24 Cheyette 1f SV Swaption (VI) impl.vol[%] y into 10y averaging: ε slow sol. to ODE: ε(t) rel.strike L = 4% k = 2.4% m = 0.2 σ = 18.5% ɛ(0) = 80%, ɛ(10) = 20% 19/33

25 Cheyette 1f SV Swaption (VII) Effective skew parameter m (V.Piterbarg[5]): q ds nn = η (S(t), t) λ(t) V (t)dw S with η (S(t), t) = m(t)s nn + (1 m(t))l q dv (t) = β (1 V (t)) dt + ɛ(t) V (t)dw V V.P. shows that η 2 (S(t)) = T 0 w(t)η(s(t), t)λ2 (t)dt T 0 w(t)λ2 (t)dt with w(t) = E [V (t) ( S(t) S(0) ) ] 2 minimizes the difference of the second and third moment between the time averaged and timedependent SDE. For the given η (S(t), t) this yields m = T 0 T 0 m(t)w(t)λ2 (t)dt w(t)λ2 (t)dt with w(t) = t 0 λ 2 (s)ds+ ɛ 2 e βt t 0 λ 2 (s)( e βs e βs) ds 2β 20/33

26 Cheyette 1f SV Swaption (VIII) impl.vol[%] swaption (20y into 10y) approximation (avg. m) simulation (annuity measure) rel.strike L = 4% k = 2.4% m(0) = 0.8, m(15) = 0.3 σ = 18.5% ɛ = 60% 21/33

27 Cheyette 1f SV Swaption (IX) Effective volatility λ (V.Piterbarg[5]): step 1: Black-Scholes ATM-Swaption formula as function of variance is approximated with by setting g(x) = S nn m ( 2N( 1 ) 2 m x) 1 g(x) = a + be cx. g(ξ) = g(ξ) ; g (ξ) = g (ξ) and g (ξ) = g (ξ) step 2: Equate expectations for time dependent and time averaged λ a + be E [ g ( T 0 λ 2 (t)v (t) )] [ = E g ( λ2 T [e c R T 0 λ2 (t)v (t)dt ] = a + be V (t) )] 0 [e c λ 2 R T 0 V (t)dt] 22/33

28 Cheyette 1f SV Swaption (X) still step 2: a + be [e c R ] T 0 λ2 (t)v (t)dt = a + be [e c λ 2 R T 0 V (t)dt] E [e c R ] T 0 λ2 (t)v (t)dt = E [e c λ 2 R T 0 V (t)dt] e A(0,T )+B(0,T ) = eā(0,t )+ B(0,T ) a() and a() follow Riccati ODE. For ā() and ā() anayltic solutions exist. time dependent part: once solve for a() and b() numerically time independent part: solve for λ numerically (cheap since analytical solutions to ā() and b() exist 23/33

29 Cheyette 1f SV Swaption (XI) Some empirical observations for swaptions in the Euro market in June: the skew parameter m tends to be well below 1 and not strongly varying the smile parameter ɛ is constant around 50% for larger t, a bit larger (60%) at small t (t < 2years) the volatiliy σ(t) is about 18% and not strongly fluctuating 24/33

30 Cheyette 1f SV Swaption (XIIa) impl.vol market (10y into 10y) approximation simulation simulation tuned rel.strike L = 4% k = 2.4% m 0.2[0.1] σ 18% ɛ = 60%[50%] 25/33

31 impl.vol.diff.[%] Cheyette 1f SV Swaption (XIIb) diff to market (10y into 10y) diff to approximation diff to simulation diff to tuned simulation rel.strike L = 4% k = 2.4% m 0.2[0.1] σ 18% ɛ = 60%[50%] 26/33

32 Intermediate Summary (II) by transformation into swap measure freezing of ds nn dx η(r) [ dsnn dx η(r) η(s nn ) ] η(s nn ) x=y=0 using fact that displaced diffusion leads to lognormal distribution in substitute variable time averaging of σ(t), λ(t) and ɛ(t) we get more (m small) or less (m large) accurate numerical solution can (largely) remove residual skew of approximation by correting for deviation between approximation and simulation once (denoted by tuned simulation) hence we are prepared for calibration of the model 27/33

33 Calibration to Swaptions minimize sum of weighted squared relative deviations of model price from market price global: for all model parameters at once : slow and unstable stepwise: assume knowledge of time independent parameters k and β; fit time dependent parameters m(t), σ(t) and ɛ(t) for subsequent swaption expiries iterative: optimize time independent parameters combined with a stepwise calibration for each valuation of the cost function depending of the number of factors, time intervals and market quotes this takes from fractions of a second to several minutes for very accurate calibration one intermediate simulation step is helpful (removing residual skew in swaption price approximation for m > 0) 28/33

34 Simulation of Variance Process (CIR) dv (t) = β ( 1 V (t) ) dt + ɛ V (t)dw V (t) V (0) = 1 V (t + t) = V (t) + β ( 1 V (t) ) t + ɛ V (t) tz process itself cannot yield V (t) < 0 for large β and / or large ɛ : Euler discretization can yield negative V (t) if negative, set to 0 : does not work at all if negative, mirror to postive value : does not work well sample from non-central χ 2 [6]: works well, no antithetics (fast implementation in GSL (not inverting distribution function)) moment matched log-normal[7] : works well, antithetics possible V (t + t) = ( 1 + (V (t) 1)e β ) e 0.5Γ2 (t)+γ(t)z Γ 2 (t) = ln ( 1 + ɛ 2 V (t)(1 e 2β t ) ) 2β(1 + (V (t) 1)e β t ) 2 29/33

35 PDE solution (I) PDE for 1factor without stochastic volatility V t = (D x + D y r)v ( ) 2 2 mr(t) (1 m)l x 2 D x = (y kx) x ( ( ) ) 2 D y = mr(t) (1 m)l 2ky y two dimensional PDE; y-dimension is convection only! ADI Craig Sneyd (splitting scheme) IMEX (see below) 30/33

36 PDE solution (II) IMEX-scheme [8]: V (t + ) V (t) t = µ y y (V (y+, t) V (t)) h µy alt. y 1 6 V (y, t) + V (y, t) 1 2 V (t) 1 «i 3 V (y+, t) 1 V (x +, t) + V (x, t) 2V (t) V (x +, t) V (x, t) 2 σ2 x x 2 + µ x 2 x rv (t) 1 V (x +, t + ) + V (x, t + ) 2V (t + ) V (x +, t + ) V (x, t + ) 2 σ2 x x 2 + µ x 2 x! rv (t + )! purely explicit in y use upwind scheme in y, not central differences : oscillations use third order upwind in y to increase accuracy to O( y 3 ): no penalty in solving system of linear equations since explicit can get accurate solution of swaption with 15 points in y (number of necesarry gridpoints in y depends on m; for m 0 we can get away with even less than 15) 31/33

37 Multifactor One multidimensional extension of the model is straight forward dx i (t) = ( y ij (t) k i x i (t) ) f dt + η ij (t)dw j (t) ; dw i dw j = 0 j=1 dy ij (t) = ( f η ik (t)η jk (t) (k i + k j )y ij (t) ) dt k=1 η ij (t, x i, y ij ) = σ ij (t) ( m(t)r(t) + (1 m(t))l ) σ ij (t) = lower triangular matrix r(t) = i x i (t) + f(0, t) f stochastic and f 3+f 2 total number of state variables analytic formula for P(t, x, ȳ) similar approximations for swaption 32/33

38 Summary / Outlook What we have: class of shortrate models with flexible volatility function flexible smile and / or skew stochastic volatility with corresponding dynamics low dimensional Markow and analytical solution for ZCB: relatively cheap in MC-simulation and PDE 1 factor version is capable of reproducing the smile for one underlying per expiry nicely (e.g coterminal swaptions); even swaptions not used in calibration process often still ok; further improvements by multi factor version expected Future plans: improve swaption approximation in annuity measure for m 0 extensions and checks of multi factor model include jump diffusion 33/33
