Abstract

A model describing the dynamics of a foreign exchange (FX) rate should preserve the same level of analytical tractability when the inverted FX process is considered. We show that affine stochastic volatility models satisfy such a requirement. Such a finding allows us to use affine stochastic volatility models as a building block for FX dynamics that are functionally-invariant with respect to the construction of suitable products/ratios of rates, thus generalizing the model of [A.
