Abstract

The multi-curves framework is often implemented in a way to recycle to one curve formulas; there is no fundamental reasons behind that choice. Here we present different approaches to the multi-curves framework. They vary by the choice of building blocks instruments (Ibor coupon or futures) and the definition of curve (pseudo-discount factors or direct forward rate). The features of the different approaches are described.

Keywords: Multi-curves framework, discounting, forward rates, Ibor indexes, interest rate futures, rate interpolation
