2 Introduction In this presentation, we address the hedging issue of CDO tranches in a market model where pricing is connected to the cost of the hedge In credit risk market, models that connect pricing to the cost of the hedge have been studied quite lately Discrepancies with the interest rate or the equity derivative market Model to be presented is not new, require some stringent assumptions, but the hedging can be fully described in a dynamical way
3 Introduction Presentation related to the papers : Hedging default risks of CDOs in Markovian contagion models (2008), Quantitative Finance, with Jean-Paul Laurent and Jean-David Fermanian Delta-hedging correlation risk? (2010), submitted, with Stéphane Crépey and Yu Hang Kan
4 Contents 1 Theoretical framework 2 3
5 Default times n credit references τ 1,...,τ n : default times defined on a probability space (Ω, G, P) N i t = 1 {τi t}, i = 1,..., n : default indicator processes H i = (H i t) t 0, H i t = σ(n i s, s t), i = 1,..., n : natural filtration of N i H = H 1 H n : global filtration of default times
6 Default times No simultaneous defaults : P(τ i = τ j ) = 0, i j Default times admit H-adapted default intensities For any i = 1,..., n, there exists a non-negative H-adapted process α i,p such that is a (P, H)-martingale. M i,p t α i,p t = 0 on the set {t > τ i} := N i t t 0 αs i,p ds M i,p, i = 1,..., n will be referred to as the fundamental martingales
7 Market Assumption Instantaneous digital CDS are traded on the names i = 1,..., n Instantaneous digital CDS on name i at time t is a stylized bilateral agreement Offer credit protection on name i over the short period [t, t + dt] Buyer of protection receives 1 monetary unit at default of name i In exchange for a fee equal to α i tdt 0 t 1 α i tdt : default of i between t and t + dt α i tdt : survival of name i t + dt Cash-flow at time t + dt (buy protection position) : dn i t α i tdt α i t = 0 on the set {t > τ i } (Contrat is worthless)
8 Market Assumption Credit spreads are driven by defaults : α 1,..., α n are H-adapted processes Payoff of a self-financed strategy V 0 e rt + n i=1 r : default-free interest rate V 0 : initial investment T δ i, i = 1,..., n, H-predictable process 0 δse i r(t s) ( dns i αsds i ). }{{} CDS cash-flow
9 Hedging and martingale representation theorem Theorem (Predictable representation theorem) Let A H T be a P-integrable random variable. Then, there exists H-predictable processes θ i, i = 1,..., n such that and E P ( T 0 A = E P [A] + = E P [A] + ) θi s αs i,p ds <. n T i=1 0 T n i=1 0 θs i ( dn i s αs i,p ds ) θ i sdm i,p s
10 Hedging and martingale representation theorem Theorem (Predictable representation theorem) Let A H T be a Q-integrable random variable. Then, there exists H-predictable processes ˆθ i, i = 1,..., n such that and E Q ( T 0 A = E Q [A] + = E Q [A] + ) θi s αs i,p ds <. n T i=1 0 T n i=1 0 ˆθ s i ( dn i s αsds i ) }{{} CDS cash-flow ˆθ i sdm i s
11 Hedging and martingale representation theorem Building a change of probability measure Describe what happens to default intensities when the original probability is changed to an equivalent one From the PRT, any Radon-Nikodym density ζ (strictly positive (P, H)-martingale with expectation equal to 1) can be written as dζ t = ζ t n i=1 π i tdm i,p t, ζ 0 = 1 where π i, i = 1,..., n are H-predictable processes
12 Hedging and martingale representation theorem Conversely, the (unique) solution of the latter SDE is a local martingale (Doléans-Dade exponential) ( n ) t n ζ t = exp πsα i s i,p ds (1 + πτ i i ) N i t i=1 0 i=1 The process ζ is non-negative if π i > 1, for i = 1,..., n The process ζ is a true martingale if E P [ζ t ] = 1 for any t or if π i is bounded, for i = 1,..., n
13 Hedging and martingale representation theorem Theorem (Change of probability measure) Define the probability measure Q as where ζ t = exp ( dq Ht = ζ t dp Ht. n i=1 t Then, for any i = 1,..., n, the process M i t := M i,p t t 0 0 ) n πsα i s i,p ds (1 + πτ i i ) N i t πsα i s i,p ds = Nt i i=1 t 0 (1 + π i s)α i,p s is a Q-martingale. In particular, the (Q, H)-intensity of τ i is (1 + π i t)α i,p t. ds
14 Hedging and martingale representation theorem From the absence of arbitrage opportunity { α i t > 0 } { } P a.s. = α i,p t > 0 For any i = 1,..., n, the process ˆπ i defined by : ( ) ˆπ t i αt i = α i,p 1 (1 Nt ) i t is an H-predictable process such that ˆπ i > 1 The process ζ defined with π 1 = ˆπ 1,..., π n = ˆπ n is an admissible Radon-Nikodym density Under Q, credit spreads α 1,..., α n are exactly the intensities of default times
15 Hedging and martingale representation theorem The predictable representation theorem also holds under Q In particular, if A is an H T measurable payoff, then there exists H-predictable processes ˆθ i, i = 1,..., n such that A = E Q [A H t ] + n T i=1 t ˆθ i s ( dn i s αsds i ). }{{} CDS cash-flow Starting from t the claim A can be replicated using the self-financed strategy with [ ] the initial investment V t = E Q e r(t t) A H t in the savings account the holding of δs i = ˆθ se i r(t s) for t s T and i = 1,..., n in the instantaneous CDS As there is no charge to enter a CDS, the replication price of A at time t is V t = E Q [ e r(t t) A H t ]
16 Hedging and martingale representation theorem A depends on the default indicators of the names up to time T includes the cash-flows of CDO tranches or basket credit default swaps, given deterministic recovery rates The latter theoretical framework can be extended to the case where actually traded CDS are considered as hedging instruments See Cousin and Jeanblanc (2010) for an example with a portfolio composed of 2 names or in a general n-dimensional setting when default times are assumed to be ordered
17 Hedging and martingale representation theorem Risk-neutral measure can be explicitly constructed We exhibit a continuous change of probability measure Completeness of the credit market stems from a martingale representation theorem Perfect replication of claims which depend only upon the default history using CDS written on underlying names and default-free asset Provide the replication price at time t But does not provide any operational way of constructing hedging strategies Markovian assumption is required to effectively compute hedging strategies
18 Markovian contagion model Pre-default intensities only depend on the current status of defaults αt i = α i ( t, Nt 1,..., Nt n ) 1t<τi, i = 1,..., n Ex : Herbertsson - Rootzén (2006) α i ( t, Nt 1,..., Nt n ) = ai + j i b i,jn j t Ex : Lopatin (2008) α i (t, N t) = a i(t) + b i(t)f(t, N t) with N t = Connection with continuous-time Markov chains ( ) N 1 t,..., Nt n Markov chain with possibly 2 n states Default times follow a multivariate phase-type distribution n i=1 N i t
19 Pre-default intensities only depend on the current number of defaults All names have the same pre-default intensities α αt i = α (t, N t ) 1 t<τi, i = 1,..., n where N t = n i=1 This model is also referred to as the local intensity model N i t
20 No simultaneous default, the intensity of N t is equal to λ(t, N t ) = (n N t ) α(t, N t ) N t is a continuous-time Markov chain (pure birth process) with generator matrix : λ(t, 0) λ(t, 0) λ(t, 1) λ(t, 1) 0 Λ(t) = λ(t, n 1) λ(t, n 1) Model involves as many parameters as the number of names
