Some short elements on hedging credit derivatives

Philippe Durand, Jean-Frédéric Jouanin (2007)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In practice, it is well known that hedging a derivative instrument can never be perfect. In the case of credit derivatives ( synthetic CDO tranche products), a trader will have to face some specific difficulties. The first one is the inconsistence between most of the existing pricing models, where the risk is the occurrence of defaults, and the real hedging strategy, where the trader will protect his portfolio against small CDS spread movements.

Pricing forward-start options in the HJM framework; evidence from the Polish market

The specific problems of Central Eastern European emerging markets do not permit the use of the popular lognormal models of forward LIBOR or swap rates. We show how to overcome this difficulty.
