Abstract: The financial industry has undergone a significant transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to Risk Free Rates (RFR) such as, e.g., the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) in the U.S. and the AUD Overnight Index Average (AONIA) in Australia, as the primary benchmark rate for borrowing costs. The paper examines the pricing and hedging method for SOFR-related financial products in a cross-currency context with the special emphasis on the Compound SOFR vs Average AONIA cross-currency basis swaps. While the SOFR and AONIA serve as a particular case of a cross-currency basis swap (CCBS), the approach developed is able to handle backward-looking term rates for any two currencies. We give explicit pricing and hedging results for collateralized cross-currency basis swaps using interest rate and currency futures contracts as hedging tools within an arbitrage-free multi-curve setting.
