25.2 Valuation of swaps The standard approach is to assume that forward rates will be realized This works for plain vanilla interest rate and plain vanilla currency swaps, but does not necessarily work for non standard swaps Options, Futures, and other Derivatives, 5th edition 2002 by John C. Hull
Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives, 5th edition © 2002 by John C. Hull 25.2 Valuation of Swaps • The standard approach is to assume that forward rates will be realized • This works for plain vanilla interest rate and plain vanilla currency swaps, but does not necessarily work for nonstandard swaps
25.3 Variations on vanilla interest Rate swaps Principal different on two sides Payment frequency different on two sides Can be floating for floating instead of floating for fixed It is still correct to assume that forward rates are realized How should a swap exchanging the 3-month LIBOR for 3-month T-Bill rate be valued Options, Futures, and other Derivatives, 5th edition 2002 by John C.

25.4 Compounding swaps Interest is compounded instead of being paid Example: the fixed side is 6% compounded forward at 6. 3% while the floating side is LIBOR plus 20 bps compounded forward at LIBOR plus 10 bps This type of compounding swap can be valued using the assume forward rates are realized"rule. This is because we can enter into a series of forward contracts that have the effect of exchanging cash flows for their values when forward rates are realized Options, Futures, and other Derivatives, 5th edition 2002 by John C.

25.5 Currency swaps Standard currency swaps can be valued using the"assume forward LIBOR rate are realized”ru|e. Sometimes banks make a small adjustment because LIBOR in currency a is exchanged for liBor plus a spread In currency B Options, Futures, and other Derivatives, 5th edition 2002 by John C. Hull

25.6 More complex swaps LIBOR-in-arrears swaps CMS and CMt swaps Differential swaps To value these we assume that the realized rate is the forward rate plus a convexity adjustment Options, Futures, and other Derivatives, 5th edition 2002 by John C. Hull

25.7 Equity swaps Total return on an equity index is exchanged periodically for a fixed or floating return When the return on an equity index is exchanged for libor the value of the swap is always zero immediately after a payment. This can be used to value the swap at other times Options, Futures, and other Derivatives, 5th edition 2002 by John C. Hull
