4 A new market for dividend derivatives How can we trade dividends? Synthetic replication. Dividend swaps (OTC) or dividend futures (on exchange). Latest innovations: single names, options, dividend-rates hybrids,... Asset pricing: term structure of equity risk premium. Lettau and Wachter (2007), Binsbergen et al. (2012), Binsbergen et al. (2013), Binsbergen and Koijen (2017). Dividend derivative pricing. Buehler et al. (2010), Tunaru (2014), Buehler (2015), Kragt et al. (2016). Derivative pricing with dividend paying stock Deterministic dividends: Bos and Vandermark (2002), Bos et al. (2003), Vellekoop and Nieuwenhuis (2006). Proportional dividends: Merton (1973), Korn and Rogers (2005). Interest rates: hybrid products, long maturity dividend claims. Sander Willems A TSM for Dividends and Interest Rates May 24th / 29

6 State Process Filtered probability space (Ω, F, F t, Q), with Q the risk-neutral pricing measure. Multivariate state process X t in E R d with linear drift: dx t = κ(θ X t )dt + dm t, for κ R d d, θ R d, and some d-dimensional martingale M t. First moment is linear in the state: [( )] ( ) ( ) 1 E t = e A(T t) 0 0, A =, t T. X T 1Xt κθ κ Sander Willems (SFI@EPFL) A TSM for Dividends and Interest Rates May 24th / 29

7 Dividend Futures Instantaneous dividend rate: D t = p + q X t, for p R, q R d such that p + q x 0 for all x E. Dividend futures price: If κ is invertible: D fut (t, T 1, T 2 ) = E t [ T2 D fut (t, T 1, T 2 ) =(T 2 T 1 ) T 1 ] D s ds = ( p q ) T 2 T 1 ( ) p + q θ ( e A(s t) 1 ds X t ). q κ 1 ( e κ(t 2 t) e κ(t 1 t) ) (X t θ).

Directly specify dynamics for ζ t : ζ t = ζ 0 e t 0 rs ds, t 0, ζ t := e γt Y t, dy t = λ(φ + ψ X t Y t )dt, for φ, λ, γ R and ψ R d such that Y t > 0. Cfr. Filipović et al.

13 GARCH Diffusion Specify martingale part M t as follows dx t = κ(θ X t ) dt + diag(x 1t,..., X dt )Σ db t, (1) with B t a standard d-dimensional Brownian motion and Σ R d d lower triangular with Σ ii > 0. Used before for stochastic volatility (Nelson (1990), Barone-Adesi et al. (2005)), energy markets (Pilipović (1997)), interest rates (Brennan and Schwartz (1979)), and Asian option pricing (Linetsky (2004)). Attractive features: Unique positive solution. Flexible correlation structure. Moments in closed-form. Sander Willems (SFI@EPFL) A TSM for Dividends and Interest Rates May 24th / 29

14 GARCH Diffusion Proposition Consider the following system of SDEs: { dxt = κ(θ X t ) dt + diag(x 1t,..., X dt )Σ db t, If (X 0, Y 0 ) R d+1 +, and dy t = λ(φ + ψ X t Y t )dt (κθ) i, ψ i 0, λ, φ 0, κ ij 0 for i j, then the system has a unique strong solution in R d+1 +. Sander Willems (SFI@EPFL) A TSM for Dividends and Interest Rates May 24th / 29

15 Moment Formula (X t, Y t ) is a polynomial diffusions, cfr. Filipović and Larsson (2015). Fix basis for Pol n (R d R), n 1: H n (x, y) = (1, h 1 (x, y),..., h Nn (x, y)), with N n = ( ) n+d+1 n 1. There exists matrix G n such that for any z Pol n (R d R) E t [z(x T, Y T )] = z e Gn(T t) H n (X t, Y t ), where z is the coordinate representation of z with respect to the chosen basis. Efficient algorithms exist for z e Gn(T t), e.g. Al-Mohy and Higham (2011). Sander Willems (SFI@EPFL) A TSM for Dividends and Interest Rates May 24th / 29

16 Dividend Paying Stock Absence of arbitrage: S t = 1 ζ t E t [ζ T S T ] + 1 ζ t E t [ T t ] ζ s D s ds, T t. If R(eig(G 2 )) < γ, then [ 1 ] E t ζ s D s ds = 1 v (γi G 2 ) 1 H 2 (X t, Y t ) <, ζ t Y t t with v the coordinate vector of (x, y) y(p + q x) wrt H 2 (x, y). Stock price representation: S t = L t ζ t + 1 ζ t E t [ t ] ζ s D s ds, t 0, for some non-negative martingale L t, cfr. Buehler (2010).

21 Parameter Estimation Quasi-maximum likelihood + Kalman filtering. Transition equation: Z t = Φ 0 + Φ 1 Z t 1 + ε t, ε t N (0, q(z t 1 )). Measurement equation: M t = h(z t ) + ν t, ν t N (0, σm 2 Id). Dividend futures: linear. Swap rates and stock price: non-linear. Unscented Kalman filter. All observations are scaled by their sample mean. Three estimation steps: Estimate κ D 1, κ D 2, θ D, Σ D 11, ΣD 22 from dividend futures. Estimate κ I 1, κ I 2, θ I, Σ I 11, ΣI 22 from swap rates.

30 Derivative Pricing with Polynomial Expansions Denote Z t = (X t, Y t ) and Z = (Z t1,..., Z tn ) for some finite time partition t 1 < < t n. Time-t price of a (path dependent) derivative: π t = E t [F (Z)], for some discounted payoff function F on E = (R d R) n. Denote by g(dz) the (unknown) conditional distribution of Z. Let w(dz) be an auxiliary distribution such that g(dz) w(dz) and g(dz) = l(z)w(dz). Define Hilbert space L 2 w (E) with norm and scalar product f 2 w = f (z) 2 w(dz), f, h w = f (z)h(z)w(dz). E E Sander Willems (SFI@EPFL) A TSM for Dividends and Interest Rates May 24th / 29

31 Derivative Pricing with Polynomial Expansions Assumptions: 1 Pol(E) L 2 w, 2 l L 2 w, 3 F L 2 w, 4 g w. Let H = {H 0 (z) = 1, H 1 (z), H 2 (z),...} be an orthonormal set of polynomials spanning the closure Pol(E) in L 2 w Let F be the orthogonal projection of F onto Pol(E) in L 2 w. Elementary functional analysis now gives: π t = E[ F (Z)] = F, l w = k 0 F k l k, F k = F, H k w = F, H k w = l k = l, H k H = E t [H k (Z)]. E F (z)h k (z) w(dz), Sander Willems (SFI@EPFL) A TSM for Dividends and Interest Rates May 24th / 29

32 Derivative Pricing with Polynomial Expansions Truncating the series for π, we get: π (K) t = K F k l k k=0 ( π t π t ) = 0 if Pol(E) = L 2 w. = π t + ( π t π t ) }{{} + ( π (K) t π t ). }{{} projection bias truncation error ( π (K) t π t ) 0 as K. Crucial question: how to choose the auxiliary distribution? Sander Willems (SFI@EPFL) A TSM for Dividends and Interest Rates May 24th / 29

33 The Auxiliary Distribution We choose the multivariate log-normal distribution: Definition A random vector (X 1,..., X k ) R k +, k 1, is said to have a multivariate log-normal distribution LN (µ, Λ) if (log(x 1 ),..., log(x k )) N (µ, Λ), for some µ R k and some positive semi-definite Λ R k k. Very easy to simulate from a log-normal. Finite moments of any order: E[X α 1 1 X α k k ] = exp {α µ α Λα Assumption 1 is always satisfied Moment indeterminate projection bias. } <, α N k. Sander Willems (SFI@EPFL) A TSM for Dividends and Interest Rates May 24th / 29

34 The Auxiliary Distribution Theorem Let m = (d + 1)n. Suppose that the random vector Z = (Z t1,..., Z tn ) admits a continuous density with support on R m +. Let w be the LN (µ, Λ) distribution with µ R m and pos. def. Λ R m m. Define the matrix M R n n as M = 1 σ 2 T 1 (I n 1 d+1 )Λ 1 (I n 1 d+1 ), where σ 2 = max {(ΣΣ ) ij i, j = 1,..., d}, and T = (t i t j ) 1 i,j n. If M is positive semi-definite, then assumption 2 is satisfied. Lemma Suppose that Σ has strictly positive diagonal elements, λψ is different from the zero vector, and (X 0, Y 0 ) R d+1 +. Then for any t > 0, the random vector Z t = (X t, Y t ) has an infinitely differentiable density. Sander Willems (SFI@EPFL) A TSM for Dividends and Interest Rates May 24th / 29
