1 Avalable onlne at Proceda Computer Scence Internatonal Conference on Computatonal Scence, ICCS 11 A new approxmate CVA of nterest rate swap n the SABR/LIBOR market model : an asymptotc expanson approach Masahro Nsba 1, Tokyo Insttute of Technology Abstract The author presents a new approxmate prcng formula for the credt valuaton adjustment of nterest rate swap n the SABR/LIBOR market model usng an asymptotc expanson method. He compare t wth Monte Carlo smulaton. It s shown that the new method makes computatons extremely fast. Keywords: CVA, SABR/LIBOR market model, Asymptotc expanson 1. Introducton The counterparty rsk management s becomng ncreasngly mportant after the fnancal crss n 8 and the tghtenng of the regulatons [3], [1]. Many fnancal nsttutons are more nterested n the credt valuaton adjustmentcva of dervatves, but they have problems wth the CVA especally n the calculaton speed [1]. Most nsttutons cte nterest rate products as contrbutng the most to ther overall rsk [1]. In the nterest rate dervatves markets, the SABR model s wdely used by practtoners n the fnancal ndustry. The LIBOR market model has become the market standard, and the SABR model can capture the volatlty smle of nterest rates [4], [6]. In ths paper, we consder about the CVA of the nterest rate swap. It takes a lot of tme to calculate the CVA of the swap by Monte Carlo smulaton. Usng a new approach, ths paper derves an approxmate formula for the CVA of the swap. Ths new formula enable to calculate the CVA much faster than Monte Carlo method. To obtan the formula, we apply an asymptotc expanson method based on nfnte dmensonal analyss called the Watanabe-Yoshda theory and the Mallavn calculus [1], [11]. The method was appled to dervatve valuaton problems [7], [8], [5]. The asymptotc expanson requres a huge amount of manpulaton of symbolc expressons, so we develop a new lbrary for Maxma n Lsp. Wth ths lbrary, we can obtan hgh order asymptotc expansons of the soluton to SDEs. In the followng sectons, after an explanaton of the framework of an asymptotc expanson method n Secton, Secton 3 provde a bref descrpton of the new lbrary for maxma. Secton 4 apples the method to the forward swap rate. Secton 5 gves the new approxmate prcng formula for CVA of the nterest rate swap and Secton 6 provdes the accuracy valdaton by comparng the approxmate formula wth Monte Carlo smulaton. Secton 7 concludes.

The followng theorem s proved n [1]. Theorem.1. Suppose V : R d [, 1] R d and V : R d R d R m are smooth, and these dervatves of any order are bounded. Next, suppose that a functon g : R d R to be smooth and all dervatves have polynomal growth orders. Then, for ɛ,gx ɛ T has ts asymptotc expanson: gx ɛ T = g T + ɛg 1T + ɛ g T + ɛ 3 g 3T + oɛ 3. 3 We explan the calculatng method of asymptotc expanson. The coeffcents n the expanson, g T, g 1T, g T,, can be obtaned by Taylor s formula and represented by multple Wener-Ito ntegrals. For examples, let D t = Xɛ t ɛ ɛ=, E t = X ɛ t ɛ=, F ɛ t = 3 X ɛ t ɛ=, and g ɛ 3 T, g 1T, g T, g 3T are represented by g T = g X T 4 g 1T = g T = 1 g 3T = 1 6 =1 + 1 g X T D T 5, j=1, j,k=1, j=1 j g X T D T D j T + 1 =1 j k g X T D T D j T Dk T j g X T E T D j T =1 g X T E T 6 g X T F T 7 where g T s determnstc, the other terms are stochastc, D t, E t, F t, = 1,, d denote the -th elements of D t, E t, F t respectvely.

Next, normalze g X ɛ T to G ɛ = g X ɛ T gt ɛ for ɛ, 1]. Moreover, let a t = a t = t g [ X T YT Yt 1 V ] X t where t A denotes the nverse matrx of A. We make the followng assumpton: Assumpton 1 Σ T = a t t a t dt >. 15 Note that g 1T follows a normal dstrbuton wth varance Σ T and hence Assumpton 1 means that the dstrbuton of g 1T does not degenerate. Next, let ψ G ɛξ be a characterstc functon of G ɛ. Then, ψ G ɛξ s expanded around ɛ = as follows: ψ G ɛξ = E [ exp 1ξG ɛ] = E [ exp ] [ ] 1ξg 1T + ɛ 1ξ E exp 1ξg1T gt +ɛ 1ξ E [ exp ] ɛ [ ] 1ξg 1T g3t + 1ξ E exp 1ξg1T g T + oɛ 1ξ ΣT = exp + ɛ 1ξ E [ exp [ ]] 1ξg 1T E gt g 1T +ɛ 1ξ E [ exp [ ]] 1ξg 1T E g3t g 1T + ɛ 1ξ E [ exp 1ξg1T E [ g T g 1T ]] + oɛ. 16 Then, we obtan the below proposton. Lemma.1. We assume Assumpton 1. Then, approxmate probablty densty functon of G ɛ s represented as follows: [ f G ɛ = n[x;, Σ T ] + ɛ ] x {h xn[x;, Σ T ]} +ɛ [ ] x {h 3xn[x;, Σ T ]} + 1 [ ] ɛ x {h xn[x;, Σ T ]} + oɛ. 17 where G ɛ s defned by the equaton 13, h x = E [ g T g 1T = x ],h x = E [ g T g 1T = x ],h 3 x = E [ g 3T g 1T = x ], and n[x;, Σ T ] denotes the pdf of the normal dstrbuton wth average and varance Σ T.

Asymptotc expanson of forward swap rate Accordng to [6], forward swap rate n SABR/LMM market model s represented by the soluton to the followng stochastc dfferental equaton : ds t = S t B σ t dwt 1 1 dσ t = v 1 σ t dwt 1 + v σ t dwt where W = W 1, W s -dmensonal standard Wener process, and B [, 1].

Numercal results show that our approxmate formula s reasonablyaccurate compared wth Monte Carlo method. And new formula can be calculated much faster then Monte Carlo method. Our future research topcs are as follows: Frst, we apply ths approach to more complcated default probablty models. Second, we apply the asymptotc expanson to the forward swap rate wthout freezng technques. Thrd, we derve the formulas for the other dervatves such as an Amercan opton.
