Is there any relevant paper/source I can look at for pricing TRS on convertible bond? Specially, how should I evaluate the asset return leg? Let's say I already have an convertible bond pricer that can calcualte the m2m value of the convertible bond $V_c(0)$, how should I leverage this pricer to calculate the asset return leg value of the TRS?
From my understanding, there should be three parts of the asset leg: $$ V_{asset}(0) = V_{coupon}(0) + V_{price}(0) + V_{recovery}(0) $$
- The coupon value $V_{coupon}(0) = \sum_{i=1}^n C_i \cdot DF(t_i)$
- The price depreciation: $V_{price}(0) = [V_c(T_{TRS}) - V_0] \cdot DF(T_{TRS})$ where $V_0$ is some pre-specified value and $T_{TRS}$ denotes the TRS swap maturity date.
- The recovery value if the bond is default: $V_{recovery}(0) = \sum_{i=1}^n [S(t_{i-1}) - S(t_i)] \cdot R(t_i) \cdot DF(t_i)$
Where $DF(t)$ denotes the discount factor and $S(t)$ denotes the survival probability.
I understand how to price the price depreciation and the recovery part as I already have a pricer for convertible bonds, but how should I evaluate the coupon payments part while there are some optionality (i.e. callable/puttable) embedded in the convertible bond?
