A closed form model-free approximation for the Initial Margin of option portfolios
Central clearing counterparty houses (CCPs) play a fundamental role in mitigating the counterparty risk for exchange traded options. CCPs cover for possible losses during the liquidation of a defaulting member's portfolio by collecting initial margins from their members. In this article we analyze the current state of the art in the industry for computing initial margins for options, whose core component is generally based on a VaR or Expected Shortfall risk measure. We derive an approximation formula for the VaR at short horizons in a model-free setting. This innovating formula has promising features and behaves in a much more satisfactory way than the classical Filtered Historical Simulation-based VaR in our numerical experiments. In addition, we consider the neural-SDE model for normalized call prices proposed by [Cohen et al., arXiv:2202.07148, 2022] and obtain a quasi-explicit formula for the VaR and a closed formula for the short term VaR in this model, due to its conditional affine structure.

A Sampling-Free Approximation of Gaussian Variational Auto-Encoders
We propose a sampling-free approximate formulation of Gaussian variational auto-encoders. Instead of computing the loss via stochastic sampling, we propagate the Gaussian distributions from the latent space into the outp…
DecoderImproving the Accuracy of Marginal Approximations in Likelihood-Free Inference via Localisation
Likelihood-free methods are an essential tool for performing inference for implicit models which can be simulated from, but for which the corresponding likelihood is intractable. However, common likelihood-free methods d…
CAWI: Copula-Aligned Weight Initialization for Randomized Neural Networks
Randomized neural networks (RdNNs) enable efficient, backpropagation-free training by freezing randomly initialized input-to-hidden weights, which permits a closed-form solution for the output layer. However, conventiona…
Mathematical Foundations of Regression Methods for the approximation of the Forward Initial Margin
Abundant literature has been published on approximation methods for the forward initial margin. The most popular ones being the family of regression methods. This paper describes the mathematical foundations on which the…
