A model is present for pricing an Equity Asian Swap. One leg of the swap pays the return from a monthly average of the S&P TSE60 index less a constant strike. The payment from the other leg is similarly defined for a stock. The payments are tied to notional amounts that are specified according to two pre-determined monthly schedules. Most of the…[Read more]

The model calculates numbers that characterize the effect of adding an extra instrument to a portfolio of loan commitments. To be useful, these numbers should be additive with respect to the facilities making up the portfolio, so that their total would have the same meaning for the portfolio as each individual number has for the respective…[Read more]
