We present a new model for pricing contingent convertible (CoCo) bonds which facilitates the calculation of equity, credit and interest rate risk sensitivities. We assume a lognormal equity process and a Hull–White (normal) short rate process for the conversion intensity with a downward jump in the equity price on conversion. We are able to derive an approximate solution in closed form based on the assumption that the conversion intensity volatility is asymptotically small. The simple first-order approximation is seen to be accurate for a wide range of market conditions, although particularly for longer maturities higher order terms in the asymptotic expansion may be needed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
