Taylor series

Price-yield formula

For a function of one variable, \(f(x)\), the Taylor series formula is:

\[ \begin{aligned} f(x+\Delta x)&=f(x)+{\frac{f'(x)}{1!}}\Delta x+{\frac{f''(x)}{2!}}(\Delta x)^{2}+{\frac{f^{(3)}(x)}{3!}}(\Delta x)^{3}+\cdots+{\frac{f^{(n)}(x)}{n!}}(\Delta x)^{n}+\cdots\\ f(x+\Delta x)-f(x)&={\frac{f'(x)}{1!}}\Delta x+{\frac{f''(x)}{2!}}(\Delta x)^{2}+{\frac{f^{(3)}(x)}{3!}}(\Delta x)^{3}+\cdots+{\frac{f^{(n)}(x)}{n!}}(\Delta x)^{n}+\cdots \end{aligned} \]

Using the price-yield formula, the estimated percentage change in price for a change in yield is:

\[ \begin{aligned} P(y+\Delta y)-P(y)&\approx{\frac{P'(y)}{1!}}\Delta y+{\frac{P''(y)}{2!}}(\Delta y)^{2}\\ &\approx -D\Delta y +{\frac{C}{2!}}(\Delta y)^{2} \end{aligned} \]

    result <- list(
        "total" = duration_pnl + convexity_pnl + income_pnl,
        "duration" = duration_pnl,

        "income" = income_pnl

                       duration = duration, convexity = convexity,

Duration-yield formula

The derivative of duration with respect to interest rates gives:

\[ \begin{aligned} \text{Drift}&=\frac{\partial D}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial}{\partial y}\left(-\frac{1}{P}\frac{\partial D}{\partial y}\right)\\ &=-\frac{1}{P}\frac{\partial^{2}P}{\partial y^{2}}+\frac{1}{P^{2}}\frac{\partial P}{\partial y}\frac{\partial P}{\partial y}\\ &=-C+D^{2} \end{aligned} \]

Because of market conventions, use the following formula: \(\text{Drift}=\frac{1}{100}\left(-C\times 100+D^{2}\right)=-C+\frac{D^{2}}{100}\). For example, if convexity and yield are percent then \(\text{Drift}=\left(-0.65+\frac{6.5^{2}}{100}\right)\partial y\times100\) or basis points then \(\text{Drift}=\left(-65+6.5^{2}\right)\partial y\).

Black’s formula

A similar formula holds for functions of several variables \(f(x_{1},\ldots,x_{n})\). This is usually written as:

\[ \begin{aligned} f(x_{1}+\Delta x_{1},\ldots,x_{n}+\Delta x_{n})&=f(x_{1},\ldots, x_{n})+ \sum _{j=1}^{n}{\frac{\partial f(x_{1},\ldots,x_{n})}{\partial x_{j}}}(\Delta x_{j})\\ &+{\frac {1}{2!}}\sum_{j=1}^{n}\sum_{k=1}^{n}{\frac{\partial^{2}f(x_{1},\ldots,x_{d})}{\partial x_{j}\partial x_{k}}}(\Delta x_{j})(\Delta x_{k})+\cdots \end{aligned} \]

Using Black’s formula, the estimated change of an option price is:

\[ \begin{aligned} V(S+\Delta S,\sigma+\Delta\sigma,t+\Delta t)-V(S,\sigma,t)&\approx{\frac{\partial V}{\partial S}}\Delta S+{\frac{1}{2!}}{\frac{\partial^{2}V}{\partial S^{2}}}(\Delta S)^{2}+{\frac{\partial V}{\partial \sigma}}\Delta\sigma+{\frac{\partial V}{\partial t}}\Delta t\\ &\approx \Delta_{c,p}\Delta S+{\frac{1}{2!}}\Gamma_{c,p}(\Delta S)^{2}+\nu_{c,p}\Delta\sigma+\Theta_{c,p}\Delta t \end{aligned} \]

Ito’s lemma

For a given diffiusion \(X(t, w)\) driven by:

\[ \begin{aligned} dX_{t}&=\mu_{t}dt+\sigma_{t}dB_{t} \end{aligned} \]

Then proceed with the Taylor series for a function of two variables \(f(t,x)\):

\[ \begin{aligned} df&={\frac{\partial f}{\partial t}}dt+{\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}}dx+{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{\partial^{2}f}{\partial x^{2}}}dx^{2}\\ &={\frac{\partial f}{\partial t}}dt+{\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}}(\mu_{t}dt+\sigma_{t}dB_{t})+{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{\partial^{2}f}{\partial x^{2}}}\left(\mu_{t}^{2}dt^{2}+2\mu_{t}\sigma _{t}dtdB_{t}+\sigma_{t}^{2}dB_{t}^{2}\right)\\ &=\left({\frac{\partial f}{\partial t}}+\mu_{t}{\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}}+{\frac{\sigma _{t}^{2}}{2}}{\frac{\partial ^{2}f}{\partial x^{2}}}\right)dt+\sigma_{t}{\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}}dB_{t} \end{aligned} \]

Note: set the \(dt^{2}\) and \(dtdB_{t}\) terms to zero and substitute \(dt\) for \(dB^{2}\).

Geometric Brownian motion

The most common application of Ito’s lemma in finance is to start with the percent change of an asset:

\[ \begin{aligned} \frac{dS}{S}&=\mu_{t}dt+\sigma_{t}dB_{t} \end{aligned} \]

Then apply Ito’s lemma with \(f(S)=log(S)\):

\[ \begin{aligned} d\log(S)&=f^{\prime}(S)dS+{\frac{1}{2}}f^{\prime\prime}(S)S^{2}\sigma^{2}dt\\ &={\frac {1}{S}}\left(\sigma SdB+\mu Sdt\right)-{\frac{1}{2}}\sigma^{2}dt\\ &=\sigma dB+\left(\mu-{\tfrac{\sigma^{2}}{2}}\right)dt \end{aligned} \]

It follows that:

\[ \begin{aligned} \log(S_{t})-\log(S_{0})=\sigma dB+\left(\mu-{\tfrac{\sigma^{2}}{2}}\right)dt \end{aligned} \]

Exponentiating gives the expression for \(S\):

\[ \begin{aligned} S_{t}=S_{0}\exp\left(\sigma B_{t}+\left(\mu-{\tfrac{\sigma^{2}}{2}}\right)t\right) \end{aligned} \]

This provides a recursive procedure for simulating values of \(S\) at \(t_{0}<t_{1}<\cdots<t_{n}\):

\[ \begin{aligned} S(t_{i+1})&=S(t_{i})\exp\left(\sigma\sqrt{t_{i+1}-t_{i}}Z_{i+1}+\left[\mu-{\tfrac{\sigma^{2}}{2}}\right]\left(t_{i+1}-t_{i}\right)\right) \end{aligned} \]

where \(Z_{1},Z_{2},\ldots,Z_{n}\) are independent standard normals.

sim_gbm <- function(n_sim, S, mu, sigma, dt) {
    
    result <- S * exp(cumsum(sigma * sqrt(dt) * rnorm(n_sim)) +
                      (mu - 0.5 * sigma ^ 2) * dt)
    
    return(result)
    
}

This leads to an algorithm for simulating a multidimensional geometric Brownian motion:

\[ \begin{aligned} S_{k}(t_{i+1})&=S_{k}(t_{i})\exp\left(\sqrt{t_{i+1}-t_{i}}\sum_{j=1}^{d}{A_{kj}Z_{i+1,j}}+\left[\mu_{k}-{\tfrac{\sigma_{k}^{2}}{2}}\right]\left(t_{i+1}-t_{i}\right)\right) \end{aligned} \]

where \(A\) is the Cholesky factor of \(\Sigma\), i.e. \(A\) is any matrix for which \(AA^\mathrm{T}=\Sigma\).

Newton’s method

Implied volatility

Newton’s method (main idea is also from a Taylor series) is a method for finding approximations to the roots of a function \(f(x)\):

\[ \begin{aligned} x_{n+1}=x_{n}-{\frac{f(x_{n})}{f'(x_{n})}} \end{aligned} \]

To solve \(V(\sigma_{n})-V=0\) for \(\sigma_{n}\), use Newton’s method and repeat until \(\left|\sigma_{n+1}-\sigma_{n}\right|<\varepsilon\):

\[ \begin{aligned} \sigma_{n+1}=\sigma_{n}-{\frac{V(\sigma_{n})-V}{V'(\sigma_{n})}} \end{aligned} \]
