zero2disc - Discount curve given zero curve

Syntax

[DiscRates, CurveDates] = zero2disc(ZeroRates, CurveDates, Settle, 
Compounding, Basis)

Arguments

`ZeroRates`	Number of bonds (`NUMBONDS`)-by-`1` vector of annualized zero rates, as decimal fractions. In aggregate, the rates constitute an implied zero curve for the investment horizon represented by `CurveDates`.
`CurveDates`	`NUMBONDS`-by-`1` vector of maturity dates (as serial date numbers) that correspond to the zero rates.
`Settle`	Serial date number that is the common settlement date for the zero rates; that is, the settlement date for the bonds from which the zero curve was bootstrapped.
`Compounding`	(Optional) Scalar that indicates the compounding frequency per year used for annualizing the input zero rates in `ZeroRates`. Allowed values are:
	`1`	Annual compounding
	`2`	Semiannual compounding (default)
	`3`	Compounding three times per year
	`4`	Quarterly compounding
	`6`	Bimonthly compounding
	`12`	Monthly compounding
	`365`	Daily compounding
	`-1`	Continuous compounding
`Basis`	(Optional) Day-count basis used for annualizing the input zero rates. 0 = actual/actual (default) 1 = 30/360 (SIA) 2 = actual/360 3 = actual/365 4 = 30/360 (PSA) 5 = 30/360 (ISDA) 6 = 30/360 (European) 7 = actual/365 (Japanese) 8 = actual/actual (ISMA) 9 = actual/360 (ISMA) 10 = actual/365 (ISMA) 11 = 30/360E (ISMA) 12 = actual/365 (ISDA) 13 = BUS/252

Description

[DiscRates, CurveDates] = zero2disc(ZeroRates, CurveDates, Settle, Compounding, Basis) returns a discount curve given a zero curve and its maturity dates.

`DiscRates`	A `NUMBONDS`-by-`1` vector of discount factors, as decimal fractions. In aggregate, the factors in constitute a discount curve for the investment horizon represented by `CurveDates`.
`CurveDates`	A `NUMBONDS`-by-`1` vector of maturity dates (as serial date numbers) that correspond to the discount rates. This vector is the same as the input vector `CurveDates`.

Examples

Given a zero curve over a set of maturity dates and a settlement date

ZeroRates = [0.0464
             0.0509
             0.0524
             0.0525
             0.0531
             0.0525
             0.0530
             0.0531
             0.0549
             0.0536];

CurveDates = [datenum('06-Nov-2000')
              datenum('11-Dec-2000')
              datenum('15-Jan-2001')
              datenum('05-Feb-2001')
              datenum('04-Mar-2001')
              datenum('02-Apr-2001')
              datenum('30-Apr-2001')
              datenum('25-Jun-2001')
              datenum('04-Sep-2001')
              datenum('12-Nov-2001')];

Settle = datenum('03-Nov-2000');

The zero curve was compounded daily on an actual/365 basis.

Compounding = 365;
Basis = 3;

Execute the function

[DiscRates, CurveDates] = zero2disc(ZeroRates, CurveDates,... 
Settle, Compounding, Basis)

which returns the discount curve DiscRates at the maturity dates CurveDates.

For readability, ZeroRates and DiscRates are shown here only to the basis point. However, MATLAB software computed them at full precision. If you enter ZeroRates as shown, DiscRates may differ due to rounding.
