This study explores the hedging coefficients of the financial options to default and to prepay embedded into mortgage contracts based on the change in spot rate, underlying house price and its volatility. In the computations, the finite-dimensional Malliavin calculus is applied since the distribution of both options is unknown and their payoffs are non-differentiable. Naturally, the hedging coefficients are obtained as a product of option's payoff and an independent weight, which permits the user to derive estimations for the hedging coefficients by running a crude Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm. The simulations reveal that the financial options to default and to prepay are both more sensitive to a change in spot rate than a change in underlying house price and its volatility. There are two potential usages of the hedging coefficients: first, they allow the user to determine the effects of spot rate and underlying house price change and its volatility on the default and prepayment options, and second, borrowers and lenders can replicate and hedge their main portfolio by using the balance between these coefficients and the default and prepayment options.

Default risk of wage-indexed payment mortgage in Turkey Erol, Işıl; Patel, K (2005-09-01) This paper analyses default risk of wage-indexed payment mortgage (WIPM) in Turkey in comparison with other standard mortgage contracts originated in high inflationary economies. Emlak Bank launched WIPM linked to Civil Service employees' wage (CSW) index during high inflationary period of late 1990s. Concurrently, the government introduced a policy linking CSW index to semi-annual expected rate of inflation in an attempt to facilitate housing finance for the fastest growing sector of the population. We fin...
Computation of option greeks under hybrid stochastic volatility models via Malliavin calculus Yilmaz, Bilgi (VTeX, 2018) This study introduces computation of option sensitivities (Greeks) using the Malliavin calculus under the assumption that the underlying asset and interest rate both evolve from a stochastic volatility model and a stochastic interest rate model, respectively. Therefore, it integrates the recent developments in the Malliavin calculus for the computation of Greeks: Delta, Vega, and Rho and it extends the method slightly. The main results show that Malliavin calculus allows a running Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm...
Originating long-term fixed-rate Mortgages in developing economies: New evidence from Turkey Erol, Işıl; Çetinkaya, Özgenay (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2009-12-1) This paper intends to analyze the recent developments to introduce and integrate mortgage markets into capital markets of Turkey. The Capital Market Board has recently prepared a legal framework not only for a proper mortgage system, but also for the eventual securitization of these mortgages. Turkish banks started to contract, for the first time ever, long-term fixed rate mortgages. The paper uses traditional option-pricing model to evaluate the current 10-year fixed rate mortgage (FRM) contracts with embe...
A threshold cointegration analysis of interest rate pass-through to UK mortgage rates Becker, Ralf; Osborn, Denise R.; Yıldırım Kasap, Dilem (2012-11-01) This paper empirically analyses the interest rate transmission mechanism in the United Kingdom by exploring the pass-through of the official rate to the money market rate and of the market rate to the mortgage rate. Potential asymmetries, due to financial market conditions and monetary policy, lead to the use of a nonlinear threshold error-correction model, with hypothesis tests based on nonstandard bootstrap procedures that take into account the discrete nature of changes in the official rate. The empirica...
Empirical comparison of portfolio risk diversification algorithms Yerli, Çiğdem; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Schindler, Nilüfer; Department of Financial Mathematics (2018) The enhanced correlations during global ﬁnancial crisis has revealed that simple asset allocation portfolios prove to be not well-diversiﬁed across different risk factors, which makes the risk based asset allocation strategies popular. However, the strategies still construct the risk concentrated portfolios due to the correlation among the asset classes. As a result, risk allocation among uncorrelated risk factors instead of risk allocation among asset classes have become widely used. This thesis aims to di...
