We present an approach for the pricing of illiquid bonds (and bond derivatives) in an arbitrage-free way and which is consistent with the observed prices of liquid bonds. The basic model is a multifactor term structure model with abstract latent factors. The approach is based on stochastic filtering techniques, leading to a continuous update of the distribution of the latent factors on the basis of the information coming from the observations. This allows our model to continuously "track" the real market.

Abstract

We present an approach for the pricing of illiquid bonds (and bond derivatives) in an arbitrage-free way and which is consistent with the observed prices of liquid bonds. The basic model is a multifactor term structure model with abstract latent factors. The approach is based on stochastic filtering techniques, leading to a continuous update of the distribution of the latent factors on the basis of the information coming from the observations. This allows our model to continuously "track" the real market.
