    Choice of one factor interest rate term structure models for pricing and hedging Bermudan swaptions
    (2011) Holilal, Amiel; Becker, Ronald
    This paper revisits pricing and hedging differences presented by Z. Guan, et. al., 2008 from a South African context. The Asset Liabilities Management (ALM) departments in large financial institutions are plagued by a number of problems. Among them is the choice of interest rate model for managing the risks associated with mortgage (home loan) repay-ments. This paper will address these problems by comparing various one-factor models, including Hull-White, Black-Karasinski and CIR models for the pricing and hedging of long-term Bermudan Swaptions which resembles mortgage loans in banks' books.
