Course programme

What will I learn?
  1. Introduction to interest rate concepts
    • Simply compounded interest rates
    • Continuously compounded interest rates
    • Relationship between yield and instantaneous forward rates
    • Money Market Account
    • Zero-Coupon Bonds, Coupon Bearing Bonds, Swaps
    • Swaps as stochastic weighted sums of forward rates
  2. Yield Curve Construction: Bootstrapping and interpolation:
    • Linear in “yield*T)” (= R(0,T)*T)
    • Linear in “yield” ( = R(0,T) )
    • Linear in “log Rate” ( = log R(0,T) )
    • Linear in “Discount Factors”
    • C++ coding for Yield Curve Construction
  3. Short Rate Modeling
    • Merton, Vasicek, Hull-White (HW) one-factor
    • Bond pricing/calibration
    • Caplet pricing as Option on Bond
    • Swaption Pricing – Jamshidian’s trick
    • Multi-factor HW
    • Shape of the yield curve
    • C++ coding of European option pricing on one and multi-factor HW.
  4. Forward Rate modeling Heath-Jarrow-Merton model (HJM)
    • Libor volatility in terms of forward rate volatilities - Repricing of Caplets through Libor volatility and agreement with HW short-rate models.
    • Separability of volatility and Markovian representation of state variables.
    • Cheyette model
    • C++ pricing of Options
  5. Libor Market Model
    • Numeraire – Spot, Terminal measures
    • Drift equations
    • Lognormal, CEV, and Displaced Diffusion Dynamics of Libors
    • Libor evolution
    • C++ Coding of Evolution of Libors. Calculation of Libors at reset times
    • PCA – Principal Component analysis and rank reduction of the model
    • Stochastic Volatility
  6. Markov Functional Models
    • Explanation of the model details
    • Calculation of convexity adjustment at reset times
    • C++ code for convexity calculation
  7. SABR model / Option Hedging in Discrete and continuous time
  8. Option Pricing in Monte-Carlo Routine.
    • Extraction of the Implied Volatility Skew/Smile from SABR, CEV, and Normal models.
  9. Option pricing C++ code for early exercise
  10. Inflation, Stochastic spread yield curves, Local Volatility modeling etc if time allows.
