Abstract
This paper demonstrates how the adjoint PDE method can be used to compute Greeks in Markov-functional models. This is an accurate and efficient way to compute Greeks, where most of the model sensitivities can be computed in approximately the same time as a single sensitivity using finite difference. We demonstrate the speed and accuracy of the method using a Markov-functional interest rate model, also demonstrating how the model Greeks can be converted into market Greeks.
