Wikify date November 2010 unreferenced date July 2010 In mathematical finance , the fugit is the optimal date to exercise an American or Bermudan option. It is useful to compute it for hedging purpose. Origin First introduced by Mark Garman in an article Semper tempus fugit published in 1989 by Risk Publications, this name was designed to represent a quantity used in binomial trees to estimate American options. The Latin term tempus fugit means time flies Citation needed date November 2010 and Mark Garman suggested to use that word because time flies especially when you re having fun managing your book of American options . Practical use One can represent flows of an American swaption like the flows of a swap starting at the fugit multiplied by delta then use these to compute sensitivities.

In finance , a default option , credit default swaption or credit default option is an option finance option to buy protection payer option or sell protection receiver option as a credit default swap on a specific reference credit with a specific maturity. The option is usually Option style European , exercisable only at one date in the future at a specific strike price defined as a coupon on the credit default swap. Credit default options on single credits are extinguished upon default without any cashflows, other than the upfront premium paid by the buyer of the option, of course. Therefore buying a payer option is not a good protection against an actual default, only against a rise in the credit spread. This may explain why such options are very illiquid. They may also feature quite high implied volatilities, as shown by Damiano Brigo 2005 . However options on credit indices such as iTraxx and Credit default swap index CDX include any defaulted entities in the intrinsic value of the option when exercised. This is expressed at times by stating that the options offer front end protection . Proper inclusion of front end protection complicates index options valuation, see for example Claus M. Pedersen 2003 , or Brigo and Morini 2008 .

In financial mathematics , the Ho Lee model is a short rate model widely used in the pricing of bond option s, swaptions and other interest rate derivatives , and in modeling future interest rate s. ref name Veronesi rp 381 It was developed in 1986 by Thomas Ho finance Thomas Ho and Sang Bin Lee . It was the first Arbitrage Arbitrage free arbitrage free model of interest rates. Under this model, the short rate follows a gaussian normal process math dr t theta t , dt sigma , dW t math The model can be calibrated to market data by implying the form of math theta t math from market prices, meaning that it can exactly return the price of bonds comprising the yield curve . This calibration, and subsequent valuation of bond option s, swaption s and other interest rate derivative s, is typically performed via a Binomial options pricing model binomial Lattice model finance lattice based model . Closed form valuations of bond finance bonds , and Black model Black like bond option formulae are also available. ref Graeme West, 2010 . http www.finmod.co.za ird.pdf Interest Rate Derivatives , Financial Modelling Agency. ref As the model generates a symmetric bell shaped distribution of rates in the future, negative rates are possible. Further, it does not incorporate mean reversion .

In financial mathematics , the Black Karasinski model is a mathematical model of the term structure of interest rate s see short rate model . It is a one factor model as it describes interest rate movements as driven by a single source of randomness. It belongs to the class of no arbitrage models, i.e. it can fit today s zero coupon bond prices, and in its most general form, today s prices for a set of caps, floors or European swaption s. The model was introduced by Fischer Black and Piotr Karasinski in 1991. Model The main state variable of the model is the short rate, which is assumed to follow the stochastic differential equation under the risk neutral measure math d ln r theta t phi t ln r , dt sigma t , dW t math where dW sub t sub is a standard Wiener process Brownian motion . The model implies a log normal distribution for the short rate and therefore the expected value of the money market account is infinite for any maturity. In the original article by Fischer Black and Piotr Karasinski the model was implemented using a Binomial options pricing model binomial tree with variable spacing, but a trinomial tree implementation is more common in practice, typically a lognormal application of the Hull E2 80 93White model Trees and lattices Hull White Lattice . Applications The model is used mainly for the pricing of exotic option exotic interest rate derivative s such as American option American and Bermudan option Bermudan bond option s and swaptions , once its parameters have been calibrated to the current term structure of interest rates and to the prices or implied volatility implied volatilities of Interest rate cap caps , Interest rate floor floors or European option European swaptions. Numerical method s usually trees are used in the calibration stage as well as for pricing.

The Black model sometimes known as the Black 76 model is a variant of the Black Scholes option pricing model. Its primary applications are for pricing bond option s, interest rate caps floors, and swaption s. It was first presented in a paper written by Fischer Black in 1976. Black s model can be generalized into a class of models known as log normal forward models, also referred to as LIBOR market model . The Black formula The Black formula is similar to the Black Scholes formula for valuing stock option s except that the spot price of the underlying is replaced by a discounted futures price F. Suppose there is constant risk free interest rate r and the futures price F t of a particular underlying is log normal with constant volatility &sigma . Then the Black formula states the price for a European call option of maturity T on a futures contract with strike price K and delivery date T with math T geq T math is math c e r T FN d 1 KN d 2 math The corresponding put price is math p e r T KN d 2 FN d 1 math where math d 1 frac ln F K sigma 2 2 T sigma sqrt T math math d 2 frac ln F K sigma 2 2 T sigma sqrt T d 1 sigma sqrt T , math and N . is the Normal distribution Cumulative distribution function cumulative normal distribution function . Note that T doesn t appear in the formulae even though it could be greater than T . This is because futures contracts are marked to market and so the payoff is realized when the option is exercised. If we consider an option on a forward contract expiring at time T T , the payoff doesn t occur until T . Thus the discount factor math e rT math is replaced by math e rT math since one must take into account the time value of money . The difference in the two cases is clear from the derivation below. Derivation and assumptions The Black formula is easily derived from use of Margrabe s formula , which in turn is a simple, but clever, application of the Black Scholes formula . The payoff of the call option on the futures contract is max 0, ... more details
nofootnotes date March 2009 In finance , inflation derivative or inflation indexed derivatives refers to an over the counter finance over the counter and exchange traded derivative finance derivative that is used to transfer inflation risk from one counterparty to another. See Exotic derivatives . Typically, Interest rate swap real rate swaps also come under this bracket, such as asset swap s of inflation indexed bond s government issued inflation indexed bonds, such as the Treasury Inflation Protected Securities , UK inflation linked gilt edged securities ILGs , French OATeis, Italian BTPeis, German Bundeis and Japanese JGBi s are prominent examples . Inflation swap s are the linear form of these derivatives. They can take a similar form to fixed versus floating interest rate swaps which are the derivative form for fixed rate bonds , but use a real rate coupon versus Public float floating , but also pay a redemption pickup at Maturity finance maturity i.e., the derivative form of inflation indexed bond s . Inflation swap s are typically priced on a Zero coupon bond zero coupon basis ZC like ZCIIS for example , with payment exchanged at the end of the term. One party pays the compounded fixed rate and the other the actual inflation rate for the term. Inflation swaps can also be paid on a year on year basis YOY like YYIIS for example where the year on year rate of change of the price index is paid, typically yearly as in the case of most European YOY swaps, but also monthly for many swapped notes in the US market. Even though the coupons are paid monthly, the inflation rate used is still the year on year rate. Option finance Options on inflation including Interest rate cap and floor interest rate caps , Interest rate cap and floor interest rate floors and straddle s can also be traded . These are typically priced against YOY swaps, whilst the swaption is priced on the ZC curve . Asset swaps also exist where the coupon payment of the Linker computing linker inflation ... more details

Bank A pays a premium to Bank B which is the premium percentage multiplied by the face value of the bonds. At the maturity of the option, Bank A either exercises the option and buys the bonds from Bank B at the predetermined strike price, or chooses not to exercise the option. In either case, Bank A has lost the premium to Bank B.
