Abstract
After the credit and liquidity crisis started in summer 2007 the market has recognized that multiple yield curves are required for estimation of both discount and FRA rates with dfferent tenors (e.g. Overnight, Libor 3 months, etc.), consistently with the large basis spreads and the wide diffusion of bilateral collateral agreements and central counterparties for derivatives transactions observed on the market.
This paper recovers and extends our previous work to the modern multiple-curve bootstrapping of both discounting and FRA yield curves, consistently with the funding of market instruments. The theoretical pricing framework is introduced and modern pricing formulas for plain vanilla interest rate derivatives, such as Deposits, Forward Rate Agreements (FRA), Futures, Swaps, OIS, and Basis Swaps, are derived from scratch.
The concrete EUR market case is worked out, and many details are discussed regarding the selection of market instruments, synthetic market quotes, smooth interpolation, effect of OIS discounting, possible negative rates, turn of year effect, local vs non local delta sensitivities, performance and yield curve sanity checks.
The implementation of the proposed algorithms is available open source within the QuantLib framework.
