  • Negative rates for the SABR model: beyond the simple shift
  • Free Boundary SABR

  Exact analytical solution for zero correlation and accurate approximation for the general correlation

  • Normal Free SABR

  Exact analytical solution for general correlation

  • New Mixture SABR

  Mixing zero correlation Free SABR with the normal Free one; arbitrage free analytical solution via 1D integral

  • Numerical results and conclusion

  Joint calibration to swaptions and CMS’s; comparison of the Shifted, Free and Mixture SABR: the clear winner is the mixture SABR
