New York, Feburary 24, 2020 –- Savvysoft announced today the addition of a new functon to its award-winning TOPS Suite of dervatives pricing models which calculates forward swaption volatility.
The model can work with volatility curves (volatility as a function of expiration), grids (volatility as a function of expiration and maturity), and cubes (volatility as a function of expiration, maturity and moneyness).
The user simply supplies the current market volatility in one of these three forms, as well as the horizon date in the future and the volatility willbe returned for that future date in the same format that was input (curve, grid or cube). This ability to "roll down the vol" (analagous to rolling down the yield curve, which TOPS also provides a routine to do) makes it possible for users to correctly determine the scenario-based future price of a swaption. Traders can also directly see the market-implied vols for multiple horizons and place trades which will profit should the trader's view of future vlatility be realized instead of the market's.
The new Savvysoft TOPS models is available immediately.
