Efficient hybrid methods for portfolio credit derivatives

Quantitative Finance, 2006, vol. 6, issue 4, 349-357

Abstract: In this paper we discuss the computation of basket credit default swaps and collateralized debt obligation squared transactions. We suggest two hybrid algorithms for these two portfolio credit derivatives. The method combines the analytic approximation to the loss distribution of conditionally independent heterogeneous portfolios with the Monte Carlo simulation. The efficiency and accuracy of the algorithms are illustrated with examples.
