  1. Financial Engineering Tyler Yang for Asian Real Estate Society July 4, 2002

  2. Financial Engineering • Trading Perspective • Create structured securities from basic assets to catch specific market niches • Modeling Perspective • Develop/apply contingent claim valuation methods to price exotic structured securities • Management Perspective • Assess the uncertainty of future payoff of portfolio • Determine strategies to restructure the portfolio risk-return to meet investor’s objectives

  3. Trading Perspective • Design structured security to satisfy market demand • Examples: • Futures Option, Swaption, Spread Option • Convertible bond, Callable bond, Index bond, Floater • CMO, IO, PO • CDO, Credit swap, Credit linked bond • ABS, Lease, Real option

  4. Types of Cash Flows

  5. Cash Flow Structure • Un-guaranteed MBS • CF1 = Collected Interest + Amortized Principal + Prepaid Principal + Default Recovery • Guaranteed MBS • CF2 = CF1 + Default Principal – Default Recovery + Uncollected Interest • IO Strip (Servicing Right) • CF3 = Collected Interest (+ Uncollected Interest)

  6. Cash Flow Structure – continued • PO Strip • CF4 = Amortized Principal + Prepaid Principal + Default Recovery (or Default Principal) • Servicing Right • CF5 = Servicing Fee – Servicing Expense • Guarantee Contract • CF6 = Guarantee Fee – Default Principal + Recovery - Expense

  7. Valuation • Expected Cash Flows discounted at risk-adjusted return (assume to be 7.25%) • Value of Uninsured MBS = 99.28 = Value of IO + Value of PO • Value of Insured MBS = 100.00

  8. Modeling Perspective • Cash flow allocation • Discounted cash flows • Discount expected cash flows by a Risk-Adjusted Return • Discount risk-adjusted cash flows by risk-free

  9. Equilibrium (Risk-adjusted Return) Approach • CAPM • APT/Multi-factor CAPM

  10. Cash Flow Projection • Actuarial based distribution of outcomes

  11. Equilibrium Approach • Stock value can up to $200 with 70% probability and down to $50 with 30% probability when risk-free rate is 10% • Expected payoff = .7 (200) + .3 (50) = $155 • u = 200/100 = 2 • d = 50/100 = 0.5 • r = 1.10 • Risk-adjusted return = 155/100 - 1 = 55% • Risk premium = 55% - 10% = 45%

  12. Equilibrium Approach • A call option with exercise price = $125 • Possible payoffs are $80 with 70% probability and $0 with 30% probability • Expected payoff of option = .7 (80) + .3 (0) = $56 • Beta of the option = b(C) = 1.83 • Risk-adjusted return = k(C) = 10% + 1.83 (45%) = 92.5% • Option Value = C = 56/(1.925) = $29.09

  13. Risk-Neutral Probability

  14. Risk-Neutral Approach • Risk-adjusted probability • Pseudo probabilities • Discount risk-adjusted expected cash flows at risk-free rate

  15. Risk-Neutral Approach • Risk-neutral probability (u) = = 0.4 • Risk-neutral expected payoff of stock = .4 (200) + .6 (50) = $110 • Stock price = 110/1.10 = $100 • Risk-neutral expected payoff of the call option = .4 (80) + .6 (0) = $32 • Option value = $32/1.10 = $29.09

  16. Model Solutions • Closed form solutions • Black-Scholes model, Vasicek model • Finite Difference Methods • Implicit • Explicit (trinomial tree) • Binomial tree • Monte Carlo Simulation • Risk-neutral process • Actuarial based process

  17. Examples • Lattice Method (Binomial Tree) • American Put Option • Monte Carlo Simulation • Bond pricing under the Hull-White term structure model • Value-at-Risk by Bootstrapping

  18. Closed Form Solutions • Pros • Fast • Easy to implement • Cons • Can only work under limited simplified assumptions, which may not satisfy trading needs • May not exist for all derivative contracts

  19. Finite Difference Methods • Pros • Intuitively simple • Fast • Capture forward looking behavior, best for American style contracts • Accuracy increases with density of time interval • Cons • Can not price path-dependent contracts • Difficult to implement, especially with time and state dependent processes

  20. Monte Carlo Simulations • Pros • Intuitive • Easy to implement • Matches VaR concept • Accuracy increases with number of simulations • Cons • Forwardly simulate cash flows, cannot handle American style contracts • Slow in convergence

  21. Combined Approaches • To handle both path-dependent and American style cash flows • Difficult to implement and time consuming • Alternative methods • Simulation through tree • Bundled simulation

  22. Management Perspective • Fundamental driving force of financial engineering • Analyze the risk and return tradeoff for different cash flow components of an asset/portfolio • Determine the optimal risk-return profile for the portfolio based on investor’s objectives and constraints • To hedge or not to hedge? • Value-at-Risk applications • Capital adequacy requirements for: regulator, rating agency, stock holders

  23. Example: Striping MBS

  24. Expand Research Scope • Mathematical and technical advancements • Volatility and hedging analysis • Financial risk management applications • Creative structure development • General equilibrium impacts • Policy implications
