Detailed Description
Synthetic Collateralized Debt Obligation.
The instrument prices a mezzanine CDO tranche with loss given default between attachment point $ D_1$ and detachment point $ D_2 > D_1 $.
For purchased protection, the instrument value is given by the difference of the protection value $ V_1 $ and premium value $ V_2 $,
[ V = V_1 - V_2. ].PP The protection leg is priced as follows:
- *
- Build the probability distribution for volume of defaults $ L $ (before recovery) or Loss Given Default $ LGD = (1-r),L $ at times/dates $ t_i, i=1, ..., N$ (premium schedule times with intermediate steps)
- *
-
Determine the expected value $ E_i = E_{t_i},
protection payoff $ Pay(LGD) $ at each time $ t_i$ where [ Pay(L) = min (D_1, LGD) - min (D_2, LGD) =
LGD - D_1 &;& D_1
protection value is then calculated as [ V_1 :=: um_{i=1}^N (E_i - E_{i-1}) dot d_i ] where $ d_i$ is the discount factor at time/date $ t_i $
The premium is paid on the protected notional amount, initially $ D_2 - D_1. $ This notional amount is reduced by the expected protection payments $ E_i $ at times $ t_i, $ so that the premium value is calculated as
[ V_2 = m , dot um_{i=1}^N ,(D_2 - D_1 - E_i) dot Delta_{i-1,i},d_i ].PPwhere $ m $ is the premium rate, $ Delta_{i-1, i}$ is the day count fraction between date/time $ t_{i-1}$ and $ t_i.$
The construction of the portfolio loss distribution $ E_i $ is based on the probability bucketing algorithm described in
John Hull and Alan White, 'Valuation of a CDO and nth to default CDS without Monte Carlo simulation', Journal of Derivatives 12, 2, 2004
The pricing algorithm allows for varying notional amounts and default termstructures of the underlyings.
Possible enhancements
- Investigate and fix cases $ E_{i+1} < E_i. $

void setupArguments (PricingEngine::arguments *) const [virtual]
When a derived argument structure is defined for an instrument, this method should be overridden to fill it. This is mandatory in case a pricing engine is used.
Reimplemented from Instrument.
void fetchResults (const PricingEngine::results * r) const [virtual]
When a derived result structure is defined for an instrument, this method should be overridden to read from it. This is mandatory in case a pricing engine is used.
Reimplemented from Instrument.
