Total Value Adjustment of Multi-Asset Derivatives under Multivariate CGMY Processes

Abstract

Counterparty credit risk (CCR) is a significant risk factor that financial institutions have to consider in today’s context, and the COVID-19 pandemic and military conflicts worldwide have heightened concerns about potential default risk. In this work, we investigate the changes in the value of financial derivatives due to counterparty default risk, i.e., total value adjustment (XVA). We perform the XVA for multi-asset option based on the multivariate Carr–Geman–Madan–Yor (CGMY) processes, which can be applied to a wider range of financial derivatives, such as basket options, rainbow options, and index options. For the numerical methods, we use the Monte Carlo method in combination with the alternating direction implicit method (MC-ADI) and the two-dimensional Fourier cosine expansion method (MC-CC) to find the risk exposure and make value adjustments for multi-asset derivatives.
