Abstract

We propose a valuation method for callable structures in a multi-factor Libor model which are path-dependent in the sense that, after calling, one receives a sequence of cash-flows in the future, instead of a well specified cash-flow at the calling date. The method is based on a Monte Carlo procedure for standard Bermudans recently developed in citetKSc, and is applied to the cancelable snowball interest rate swap. The proposed procedure is quite generic, straightforward to implement, and can be easily adapted to other related path-dependent products.
