Abstract

The target redemption note is an index‐linked note that provides a guaranteed sum of coupons (target cap) with the possibility of early termination. In a typical structure, the coupons are calculated based on an inverse floating, London Interbank Offered Rate/Euro Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR/Euribor) formula. Once the accumulated amount of coupons has reached the prespecified target cap, the note will be terminated with final payment of the par. The knock‐out criterion depends on a path‐dependent state variable defined by the running accumulated coupon sum. In some simplified cases, we manage to obtain a closed form valuation formula for the note value. We propose several numerical schemes for pricing the note under the one‐factor and two‐factor short rate models. Pricing behaviors of the target redemption note are also explored. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Jrl Fut Mark 27:535–554, 2007
