CSA Caps Convexity Impact on Hull & White Calibration

Denis Papaioannou

June 15, 2013


Abstract
Prices of CSA instruments are observed in a world which is not natural for LIBOR based payos in the
sense that LIBOR forward is not martingale under CSA-forward measure. From a theoretical perspective,
pricing models for collateralized LIBOR based payos should account for CSA-convexity, implied when
changing from CSA-forward measure to LIBOR-forward measure. In practice CSA-convexity eect is
neglected. In the present paper we show how modeling jointly OIS and LIBOR using one factor guassian
short rate dynamics allows to capture CSA-convexity on caps and we measure its impact on LIBOR
volatility calibration in the Hull & White case.
Keywords: CSA convexity, Caps Pricing, Hull & White calibration, LIBOR Volatility, OIS Volatility, OIS

1 Motivation
Since 2008 crisis, the use of collateral agreements for most OTC instruments has become the interbank
market standard. This has led to important changes in interest rate instruments pricing methodology as
explained in detail in [BC2011].
Prices of collateralized instruments are observed in a CSA world which is not the natural world for LI-
BOR based payos in the sense that LIBOR forward is not martingale under CSA-forward measure Q
T
C
.
From a theoretical perspective, pricing models for collateralized LIBOR based payos should account for con-
vexity, implied when changing from CSA-forward measure Q
T
C
to LIBOR-forward measure Q
T
L
. This means
one should model jointly OIS and LIBOR dynamics to capture what we will refer to as CSA-convexity.
Currently OIS volatility and OIS-LIBOR correlation are unobservable as there are no liquid instruments
from which to retrieve them. In practice the market consensus is to neglect CSA-convexity and to adapt
collateralized instruments pricing by discounting using OIS instead of LIBOR.
In the present paper we focus on CSA-convexity calculation for interest rate caps for which we obtain
closed formulae by modeling jointly OIS and LIBOR using correlated gaussian short rate dynamics. The
same framework has been used in [K2010] in which semi-analytic formulae are obtained for swaptions that
could be used for caps as well. Developing fully closed formulae on caps simplies the study of CSA-convexity
impact, allowing fast calibration and sensitivities calculation. More importantly we show how OIS volatility
and OIS-LIBOR correlation can impact LIBOR Hull & White calibration.
For sake of simplicity we deal only with fully cash collateralized instruments, with daily margin calls (that
we assimilate to continuous margin calls), OIS rate paid on collateral, and with same currency for collateral
and instrument. This is what we will refer to when mentioning CSA instrument, which corresponds to
the majority of caps traded in the interbank market. In practice things can become more complicated as
one can have collateral currency dierent from instrument currency, optional clauses on collateral, non daily
frequency, minimum amount and other features we do not deal with in our study.
2 Calibrating GSR1F Models on Caps:
Pre and Post Crisis Methodologies
In this section we give a brief reminder of how GSR1F models are dened and the zero coupon dynamics
they imply. We show how these results were used before 2008 crisis in order to calibrate on caps and how
they are used now. For more details on GSR models the reader may refer to [AP2010].
2.1 GSR1F modeling Framework
Under GSR1F model, LIBOR short rate r
L
risk neutral dynamics write:
dr
L
(t) =
L
(t, r
L
(t)) dt +
L
(t) dW
Q
L
(t)
where
L
and
L
are deterministic functions.
L
function determines the type of GSR model considered.
For instance setting
L
(t, r
L
(t)) =
f
L
t
(0, t) +
2
L
t would dene a Ho & Lee model for r
L
.
Under this framework we can express zero coupon dynamics:
dP
L
(t, T)
P
L
(t, T)
= r
L
(t) dt +
L
(t, T) dW
Q
L
(t)
4

L
being deterministic. Moreover zero coupon bonds can be expressed as follows:
P
L
(t, T) = A
L
(t, T) e
B
L
(t,T) r
L
(t)
(1)
with A
L
and B
L
being deterministic as well, the expression of which depends on the GSR1F model considered
(Ho & Lee, Hull & White, etc.). It is clear that r
L
is normally distributed and therefore (1) implies that
zero coupons are lognormally distributed, which is the fundamental result used to calibrate GSR1F models.
2.2 Pre-Crisis Methodology
Before 2008 crisis, banks would use a single LIBOR curve framework to price interest rate options. Simply
stated, such a framework assumes LIBOR = OIS = funding rate = risk free rate. This is explained in more
detail in [G2012], chapter 4. Thus a LIBOR caplet, collateralized or not, would be priced under LIBOR
forward measure Q
T2
L
and discounted using LIBOR zero coupon:
CAPLET(t, T, K) = P
L
(t, T
2
) E
Q
T
2
L

_
(L(T

, T

which can easily be written as a zero coupon bond put

where

.
As GSR1F models lead to lognormal distributions for zero coupon bonds, options on zero coupon bonds
can be priced using Blacks formula.
Let m

(t, T

) and v

(t, T

)
As v
L
is a function of
L
, the result (2) is used to calibrate GSR1F models on caps. The link between v
L
and
L
depends on the GSR1F model considered.
2.3 Post-Crisis Methodology
During 2008 crisis, as OIS-LIBOR spreads widened, it became impossible to neglect their impact on
pricing. It became clear that OIS discounting should be adopted for CSA instruments. From a theoretical
perspective, a CSA LIBOR caplet should be priced under CSA-forward measure Q
T2
C
and discounted using
OIS zero coupon (cf. [FST2009] or [P2010]):
CAPLET

As explained in introduction, pricing under Q
T2
C
measure induces a convexity adjustment on LIBOR dynam-
ics. This adjustment depends on unobservable parameters such as OIS volatility and OIS-LIBOR correlation.
Because of these parameters unobservability, current market practice consists in neglecting CSA-convexity
and price directly under LIBOR-forward measure Q
T2
L
instead of CSA-forward measure Q
T2
C
.
This means that the only dierence from pre-crisis methodology is discounting which uses OIS curve. When
writing the caplet as a zero coupon option we obtain:
CAPLET
CSA
(t, T, K) = P

(3)
which is calculated as previously, using Black formula.
Comparing (2) and (3) we see that the dierence lies in the factor
P
C
(t,T2)
P
L
(t,T2)
. As OIS zero coupons are
higher than LIBOR ones, we have
P
C
(t,T2)
P
L
(t,T2)
> 1 and thus we expect lower calibrated LIBOR volatility using
post-crisis methodology. This eect is depicted in the numerical example presented in nal section.
In next section we show how to incorporate CSA convexity on caps pricing.

3 Caps CSA Convexity Calculation
3.1 Caps CSA Convexity Under General GSR Framework
In order to capture CSA convexity on caps we model jointly OIS and LIBOR rates using GSR1F correlated
dynamics:
dr
C
(t) =
C
(t, r
C
(t)) dt +
C
(t) dW
Q
C
(t)
dr
L
(t) =
L
(t, r
L
(t)) dt +
L
(t) dW
Q
L
(t)
Let
C,F
(t) = dW
Q
C
(t), dW
Q
L
(t)/dt denote instantaneous correlation between OIS and LIBOR short rates.
The rationale we follow now is similar to [PCG2013] where CSA convexity adjustment has been calcu-
lated on LIBOR swaps. We introduce r
L
(T
1
) = r
L
(T
1
) cvx(t, T
1
, T
2
) with cvx a deterministic function such
that r
L
distribution under Q
T2
C
matches r
L
distribution under Q
T2
L
2
.
This allows in turn to write a caplets payo at maturity using

L(T

As r

L
, we have L(T

) under Q

equally
distributed with

L(T

(5)
We can already see that the dierence with current market practice (3) relies on cvx term, driving the
exponential factor e
B
L
(T1,T2) cvx(t,T1,T2)
and the adjusted strike

K:
A higher cvx term leads to a lower adjusted strike

K and a higher exponential factor. Both ef-
fects increase CAPLET
CVX
CSA
(t, T, K) value. Therefore higher cvx term implies lower calibrated LIBOR
volatility.
2
While introducing cvx term may seem somehow articial, it allows to simplify calculations. The underlying rationale
justifying cvx introduction is that applying Girsanov theorem in order to get r
L
dynamics from Q
T
2
L
to Q
T
2
C
leads to a drift
adjustment. This drift adjustment corresponds to cvx and depends on Radon-Nikodym derivative volatility, r
L
volatility and
correlation between both. Under GSR framework all these parameters are deterministic, therefore cvx too. The interested
reader may refer to [P2011] for more details on Girsanov theorem application to change measures.
7
cvx = 0 allows to recover current market practice (3) as in this case the exponential term in (5) equals
1 and

K = K.
We can express (5) as put on a zero coupon bond and price it using the exact same Black formula obtained
in 2.2, where only strike changes:

The calculation of parameters cvx, m

and v

depends on the GSR1F model chosen. In what follows we
focus on the specic case of Hull & White dynamics.
3.2 Caps CSA Convexity Under Hull & White
In this section we show how to explicitly calculate CAPLET
CVX
CSA
(t, T, K) under Hull & White dynamics,
the latter being a specic case of GSR1F models. For sake of clarity, we assume constant short rate volatility,
the results can easily be extended to the time dependent case.
We dene Hull & White dynamics by specifying the drift term in GSR1F models as follows:

C
(t, r
C
(t)) =
C
(t) a
C
r
C
(t)

L
(t, r
L

In next section we use these results to calibrate LIBOR Hull & White model on caps taking into account
CSA convexity on a specic example.

3.3 Impact Measurement Under Hull & White Framework
Our aim here is to illustrate how CSA convexity can impact LIBOR Hull & White calibration. Let us
consider the simple case of a EURIBOR 6M caplet maturing in 10 years, strike at 2.5%, on a EUR 10K
notional. We assume caplet is quoting at EUR 100
4
. We assume constant mean reversion speed at 3% and
calibrate LIBOR Hull & White volatility in the following cases:
Pre-crisis setup as described in 2.2: LIBOR discounting - no CSA convexity
Post-crisis setup as described in 2.3: OIS discounting - no CSA convexity
Accounting for CSA convexity using 3.2 results, rst assuming
L
=
C
, then assuming
L
/2 =
C
and nally
C
= 0
Using EONIA and EURIBOR 6M curves as of May 7, 2013 (cf. appendix A), we obtain the results summa-
rized in the following graph:
1,4%
1,5%
1,6%
1,7%
1,8%
1,9%
2,0%
64% 74% 84% 94%
LIBOR Hull & White
Volatility
OIS-LIBOR Correlation
Pre-Crisis
Post-Crisis, No CSA Convexity
CSA Convexity, OIS vol = LIBOR vol
CSA Convexity, OIS vol = LIBOR vol / 2
CSA Convexity, OIS vol = 0
Figure 1: CSA Adjustment impact on Hull & White calibration
As expected (cf. 2.3) we obtain pre-crisis LIBOR volatility above post-crisis level.
From cvx expression we can see that:
When
C,F
= 100% and
C
=
L
we obtain cvx = 0, which allows to recover current market practice
(ie no CSA-convexity).
When
C,F
decreases, cvx increases, which leads to lower calibrated LIBOR volatility.
4
We do not take into account period accrual, that is: payo = (EURIBOR 6M 2.5%)
+
10
These two points are conrmed graphically as
C
=
L
curve (red curve) increases and approaches post-crisis
level (blue curve) when correlation approaches 100%.
Moreover we can see that the lower the OIS volatility, the lower the calibrated LIBOR volatility. The
extreme case of deterministic OIS rates (orange curve) leads to the lowest possible LIBOR volatility. We are
therefore expecting LIBOR Hull & White volatility to lie somewhere in between post-crisis level of 1.93%
and deterministic OIS level of 1.47%.
The results we obtained here show signicant sensitivities of LIBOR Hull & White volatility on both OIS
volatility and OIS-LIBOR correlation.
11
Conclusion
Modeling jointly OIS and LIBOR using GSR1F dynamics allows to capture CSA convexity on caps. We
obtained closed formulae for caps under Hull & White framework and we calculated the potential impact on
LIBOR volatility calibration. Our results show signicant impact of OIS volatility as well as OIS-LIBOR
correlation on LIBOR volatility calibration. While the numerical results presented focus on Hull & White
model, the same study could be reproduced for any GSR1F model.
