The main subject calculation of exotic portfolio exposure
What is exposure at time t?

Possible values of the portfolio price at t (possibilities are related


with dierent scenarios of the market evolution)
Two approaches:

Scenarios

Modeling
Selected books, reviews and articles of the subject:
Canabarro and Due (2003), Pykhtin (2005), Cesari et al (2010),
Jon Gregory (2010), Brigo-Capponi (2010), Pykhtin-Rosen (2010)

A. Antonov, S. Issakov and S. Mechkov; Numerix Risk and CVA for exotic derivatives: the universal modeling 3/ 51
Scenario based approach
Algorithm

Generate a set of markets (scenarios) M


i
(t) at time t (yield
curves, implied vols etc.)

For each market choose a model and calibrate it to the market

Price the portfolio with the calibrated model for each market
Drawbacks

Not clear how to generate scenarios

The period from today to the observation time t not taken


into account

Computationally (very) intensive


A. Antonov, S. Issakov and S. Mechkov; Numerix Risk and CVA for exotic derivatives: the universal modeling 4/ 51
Modeling approach
Arbitrage-free model properly calibrated to today implied market
the best scenario generator

Full time coverage: scenarios for all the time-steps

Exposure is automatically consistent with the pricing

Adaptation to indexes projections by the model measure


change

Numerical eciency
Key idea
associate portfolio exposure with its future price given by an
arbitrage-free model (Cesari et al)
A. Antonov, S. Issakov and S. Mechkov; Numerix Risk and CVA for exotic derivatives: the universal modeling 5/ 51
Two types of instruments in the exposure calculation:

For vanillas which price is dened uniquely by the market


one can use the scenario approach

For exotic instruments


one needs the modeling approach
Below we will consider a portfolio of exotic instruments and will
apply the modeling approach (a.k.a. one-step MC).
A. Antonov, S. Issakov and S. Mechkov; Numerix Risk and CVA for exotic derivatives: the universal modeling 6/ 51
Measures
The model calibrated to today market still has an extra degree of
freedom the model measure.
Its properties:

Instrument PV does not depend on the measure

Distribution of underlying depends on the measure


We address a real world measure at the end. Now consider our
model evolution under any xed measure.

A Risk (VaR etc) is related to the distributions


measure dependent

A credit value adjustment (CVA) is linked with PVs of


default dependent payments
measure independent
A. Antonov, S. Issakov and S. Mechkov; Numerix Risk and CVA for exotic derivatives: the universal modeling 7/ 51
Modeling approach: swap example

Conditional expectation and numerical methods
Conditional expectation (CE) E[ | F
t
] averaging over the
stochastic evolution after time t (the life before or on t is xed).
Example. For diusion processes we x the Brownian increments
dW() for t and average over dW() for > t; the CE is
thus a certain function of dW() for t.
For regular path-independent pay-os P(T) xed at time T, a
(discounted) CE is a function of model states x

The CE depends on the Brownian increments through the states.
For example, the model states can be short rates and FX-rate

date (swap S(t

Remark. The second part of the exercise value is sum for forward

A. Antonov, S. Issakov and S. Mechkov; Numerix Risk and CVA for exotic derivatives: the universal modeling 17/ 51
Instrument exposure
The exposure O(t
obs
) is closely related with the option future
price. There are two choices available:

Exposure includes all payments (coincides with the future


price)
O(t
obs
) = V
F
(t
obs
) = V(t
obs
) (1 I(t
obs
)) + V
e
(t
obs
) I(t
obs
)

Exposure only includes the future payments with respect to


the observation date
O(t
obs
) = V(t
obs
) (1 I(t
obs
)) + S(t
obs
) I(t
obs
)
A. Antonov, S. Issakov and S. Mechkov; Numerix Risk and CVA for exotic derivatives: the universal modeling 18/ 51
Exposure path-dependence
Exposure is a path-dependent product (for callable deals). For
example, the continuation part V(t
obs
) (1 I(t
obs
)) consists of
two contributions

Continuation value V(t


obs
) is a state Underlying i.e. a certain
function of the model states on the observation date

The indicator I(t


obs
) is path-dependent (a combination of
Underlyings for exercise dates before the observation)
A. Antonov, S. Issakov and S. Mechkov; Numerix Risk and CVA for exotic derivatives: the universal modeling 19/ 51
The exposure calculation
Two approaches for the exposure calculation

Direct
Calculate all components in the backwards pricing procedure
and assemble them in the forward pass

Automatic
Change Underlying operations to obtain the exposure as
by-product of the pricing procedure
Remark. A good quality backward induction algorithm is essential.
A. Antonov, S. Issakov and S. Mechkov; Numerix Risk and CVA for exotic derivatives: the universal modeling 20/ 51
Direct approach: algorithm

Backward induction
Calculate and store the underlying swap, the option
continuation value and conditional exercise indicators by
backward induction using the least-square MC

Forward induction
Calculate unconditional exercises and roll forward index
payments to the observation date

Results aggregation
A similar procedure was proposed in Cesari et al. Modulo some
dierence (for example, the exercise time instead of the exercise
indicators) it is equivalent to ours.
A. Antonov, S. Issakov and S. Mechkov; Numerix Risk and CVA for exotic derivatives: the universal modeling 21/ 51
Drawbacks of the direct exposure calculations
1. Requires modication of backward pricing procedure
2. Includes both backward and forward inductions
3. Includes the cumbersome logic of exercise indicators
calculation and aggregation
4. Can be very complicated for exotic instruments with dierent
types of exercises
Alternative automatic procedure
A. Antonov, S. Issakov and S. Mechkov; Numerix Risk and CVA for exotic derivatives: the universal modeling 22/ 51

In parallel with the main pricing procedure execute the following:

Similar recursion logic was applied in Eglo et al (2007) and
Andersen-Piterbarg (2010) Sect 18.3.4. in a context of pricing of
Callable Libor Exotics.
Our contribution:

We target explicitly the future price (exposure)

We generalize it for arbitrarily complex instrument

Consider now the Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) calculation
1
, see
also Cesari et al.

Assume that the Counterparty survival process (t)


a Poisson process with stochastic intensity (hazard rate)
h(t) and independent jumps

Extend our initial pricing model with (possibly correlated)


hazard rate process calibrated to the corresponding credit
market simulate all the components

Calculate the portfolio future values for a ne set of dates


(t) using the algorithm above (do not include the credit
hazard rates into the regression variables)

Assume also that we have calculated the collateral, C(t),


which consists of a certain number (t) of units of some
asset A(t) with known (simulated) evolution,
C(t) = (t) A(t).

Risk
The risk measure is a general term for statistical characteristics of
the instrument exposure non-discounting (simple) averages
E[f (O(t))]
A simple average is measure-dependent (contrary to the discounted
one E[f (O(t))/N(t)])
Examples.

Right/wrong way exposure
When the model evolution is highly correlated with the default
process the exposure distribution conditional to the default is
important, i.e. instead of the CDF of the exposure
CDF(t, x) = E[1
O(t)<x
]
we need a conditional CDF to default happening at time t
CDF
D
(t, x) = E[1

Real world measure
A model calibrated to todays market still has an extra degree of
freedom the model probability measure.
We want to x this measure to be the real-world one for the
exposure distribution.
The real-world (or physical) probability measure appeared early in
Quantitative Finance has not been widely used due to its loose
denition, contrary to the risk-neutral measure.
The risk-neutral approach assumes that tradable securities have
drift coinciding with the short rate r (t) a zero-bond SDE
dP(t, T) = P(t, T) (r (t) dt + (t) dW(t))
In the real world, this drift is supposed to be dierent but its
time-series estimations are vague.
We need to link our model to the real-world in a more rigorous way
by requiring that some non-discounting (simple) averages hold.
A. Antonov, S. Issakov and S. Mechkov; Numerix Risk and CVA for exotic derivatives: the universal modeling 37/ 51
Fixing projections
Suppose that we have a set of indices I
j
xed at some times t
j
and
their projections in the future p
j
p
j
= E
RW
[I
j
]
as expectation in the real-world (RW) measure. Our initial
arbitrage-free model in its risk-neutral measure cannot return a
priori such averages
p
j
= E[I
j
]
So we should modify the model measure in order to meet the
projections.
Remark. Note that the model is calibrated to the implied market
(initial rates, implied vols, etc.) and the only freedom to reproduce
the projection is in the measure choice.

Cross-currency analogy
Set our initial model as foreign one w.r.t. some FX-rate process
and a domestic currency model.
Our initial model states will get a drift adjustment depending
on FX vol and correlations.
Result. The initial model in such cross-currency (CC) setup will
have a dierent measure w.r.t. to its risk-neutral one.
Realization.

Domestic model (factitious ccy RW)


Trivial model with zero rates unit numeraire: N
RW
(t) = 1

FX-rate model (between the initial ccy and the factitious one)
Black-Scholes model

Foreign model (initial ccy)


Out initial model
Remark. The FX volatility permits to step up from the risk neutral
measure towards the RW one.
A. Antonov, S. Issakov and S. Mechkov; Numerix Risk and CVA for exotic derivatives: the universal modeling 39/ 51
The CC model calibration:

The foreign component (initial model) is calibrated to its


implied market

The FX-vol and correlations are free they are tools to


calibrate the indexes projections
The resulting CC model capabilities:

Pricing of the initial instrument (identical to the initial pricing


up to numerical errors)

Exposure simulation in the real-world measure


Remark. The BS process for the FX-rate makes a deterministic
drift change for the foreign (initial) model. More complicated
FX-rates evolution, say Heston, gives richer family of the measure
change more degrees of freedom for the calibration to real-world
projections.

Numerical experiments

Instrument (cancelable swap)

swap
we receive semi-annually a 6M Libor and pay annually a xed
rate (= 2.57%, a swap rate at origin) on 1 EUR notional

exercise
we have a right to cancel the swap annually from 4Y

Output

6M Libors expectation in dierent measures

distribution (CDF) of 6Y instrument exposure (including the


future payments only) in dierent measures

exposure prole in the risk-neutral measure

PFE 97.5% in dierent measures

Model
CC Model

Domestic model (RW currency)


Trivial model with zero interest rates

Foreign model (EUR)


Hull-White IR model with 3% rate, 5% mean-reversion and
1.5% volatility

FX rate (RW currency/EUR)


BS model with correlation with HW Brownian motion
= 100% and a set of FX-volatilities: 0%, 25%, 50%
Dierent FX-volatilities correspond to dierent measures.
Zero FX-volatility gives the risk-neutral measure.
For simplicity we consider the Counterparty default uncorrelated
with the CC model factors.

Observations

Typical shape of the risk prole

Measure change leads to a positive drift in rates: the bigger


FX-vol, the bigger Libor average

Signicant dierences is the exposure distributions in dierent


measures
It is important to use the pricing model in the real-world measure
(the factitious CC model should be calibrated to the rates
projections) to get the correct exposure distribution.

Conclusion
We presented:

Calculation of the portfolio exposure in a self-consistent way


using arbitrage-free model calibrated to both implied market
and real-world projections

A new automatic method of exposure calculations especially


attractive for exotic portfolios avoiding cumbersome exercise
aggregation

Ecient CVA calculation using the simulated information
