Professional risk management with historical time series / Version 1.0 – Forward Starting Swaps
This sub-topic presents mathematical documentation and a calculation tool for the valuation and risk assessment of forward swaps. Unlike plain-vanilla swaps, these instruments involve a lead time; otherwise, the two products are very similar. The Documents & Materials section contains a mathematical description of a forward swap, comparing it with plain-vanilla swaps (both theoretically and through two numerical examples).
Specifically, the following elements are covered:
- Theoretical fundamentals
- Swap valuation
- Methodology based on historical time series
- Worked examples
- Additional risk metrics
- Collection of formulas
