Funding Beyond Discounting Collateral Agreements And Derivatives

Posted on April 9, 2021

This paper examines the valuation of a partially guaranteed derivative in a given foreign currency that is traded in its credit support annex between default counterparties. Two pricing approaches — through coverage and waiting — are presented to obtain the same valuation formulas. Our results show that the current reference value of such a derivative consists of three components: the price of the perfectly guaranteed derivative (also known as collateral-discount prices), depreciation due to different financing differences between the payment currency and the collateral currency and the depreciation related to the financing needs of unsecured risk. These results generalize previous work on the discounting of fully guaranteed derivatives and the depreciation of partially guaranteed or unsecured derivatives.

The standard theory of derivatives prices (see z.B Hull, 2006) is based on the assumption that one can borrow and lend at a single risk-free interest rate. However, the realities of being a derivative window today are somewhat different, as historically stable relationships are broken down between bank financing rates, government interest rates, Libor rates, etc. [11] Christoph Burgard and Mats Kjaer.
