Abstract
We provide a proof for the functional Feynman-Kac Theorem for jump diffusions with path-dependent coefficients. To obtain this result we first study the existence and uniqueness of solutions to functional jump diffusions and derive a useful bound for the solution. We apply our results to the problem of Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) in a bilateral counterparty risk framework. We derive the corresponding functional CVA-PIDE and extend existing results on CVA to a setting which enables the pricing of path-dependent derivatives.
