Bermudan swaptions are options on interest rate swaps which can be exercised on one or more dates before the final maturity of the swap. Because the exercise boundary between the continuation area and stopping area is inherently complex and multi-dimensional for interest rate products, there is an inherent “tug of war” between the pursuit of calibration and pricing precision, tractability, and implementation efficiency. After reviewing the main ideas and implementation techniques underlying both single- and multi-factor models, we offer our own approach based on dimension reduction via Markovian projection. Specifically, on the theoretical side, we provide a reinterpretation and extension of the classic result due to Gyöngy which covers non-probabilistic, discounted, distributions relevant in option pricing. Thus, we show that for purposes of swaption pricing, a potentially complex and multidimensional process for the underlying swap rate can be collapsed to a one-dimensional one. The empirical contribution of the paper consists in demonstrating that even though we only match the marginal distributions of the two processes, Bermudan swaptions prices calculated using such an approach appear well-behaved and closely aligned to counterparts from more sophisticated models.

Credit value adjustment (CVA) and related charges have emerged as important risk factors following the Global Financial Crisis. These charges depend on uncertain future values of underlying products, and are usually computed by Monte Carlo simulation. For products that cannot be valued analytically at each simulation step, the standard market practice is to use the regression functions from least squares Monte Carlo method to approximate their values. However, these functions do not necessarily provide accurate approximations to product values over all simulated paths and can result in biases that are difficult to control. Motivated by a novel characterization of the CVA as the value of an option with an early exercise opportunity at a stochastic time, we provide an approximation for CVA and other credit charges that rely only on the sign of the regression functions. The values are determined, instead, by pathwise deflated cash flows. A comparison of CVA for Bermudan swaptions and cancellable swaps shows that the proposed approximation results in much smaller errors than the standard approach of using the regression function values.

This paper describes an American Monte Carlo approach for obtaining fast and accurate exercise policies for pricing of callable LIBOR Exotics (e.g., Bermudan swaptions) in the LIBOR market model using the Stochastic Grid Bundling Method (SGBM). SGBM is a bundling and regression based Monte Carlo method where the continuation value is projected onto a space where the distribution is known. We also demonstrate an algorithm to obtain accurate and tight lower–upper bound values without the need for nested Monte Carlo simulations.
