fixedbyzero - Price fixed-rate note from set of zero curves

Syntax

[Price, PriceNoAI, CFlowAmounts, CFlowDates] =
fixedbyzero(RateSpec, CouponRate, Settle, Maturity)
[Price, PriceNoAI, CFlowAmounts, CFlowDates] =
fixedbyzero(RateSpec, CouponRate, Settle, Maturity,
Reset, Basis, Principal, EndMonthRule)
[Price PriceNoAI, CFlowAmounts, CFlowDates] =
fixedbyzero(RateSpec, CouponRate, Settle, Maturity,
Name, Value)

Description

[Price, PriceNoAI, CFlowAmounts, CFlowDates] = fixedbyzero(RateSpec, CouponRate, Settle, Maturity) computes the price of a fixed-rate note from a set of zero curves. All inputs are either scalars or NINST-by-1 vectors unless otherwise specified. Any date may be a serial date number or date string. An optional argument may be passed as an empty matrix [].

[Price, PriceNoAI, CFlowAmounts, CFlowDates] = fixedbyzero(RateSpec, CouponRate, Settle, Maturity, Reset, Basis, Principal, EndMonthRule) computes the price of a fixed-rate note from a set of zero curves using optional input arguments. All inputs are either scalars or NINST-by-1vectors unless otherwise specified. Any date may be a serial date number or date string. An optional argument may be passed as an empty matrix [].

[Price PriceNoAI, CFlowAmounts, CFlowDates] = fixedbyzero(RateSpec, CouponRate, Settle, Maturity,Name, Value) computes the price of a fixed-rate note from a set of zero curves with additional options specified by one or more Name, Value pair arguments.

Input Arguments

RateSpec

Structure containing the properties of an interest-rate structure. See intenvset for information on creating RateSpec.

CouponRate

Decimal annual rate.

Settle

Settlement date. Settle must be earlier than Maturity.

Maturity

Maturity date.

Ordered Input or Name-Value Pair Arguments

Enter the following optional inputs using an ordered syntax or as name-value pair arguments. You cannot mix ordered syntax with name-value pair arguments.

Reset

NINST-by-1 vector representing the frequency of payments per year.

Default: 1

Basis

Day-count basis of the instrument. A vector of integers.

  • 0 = actual/actual

  • 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

For more information, see basis.

Default: 0 (actual/actual)

Principal

The notional principal amount.

Default: 100

Options

Derivatives pricing options structure created with derivset.

EndMonthRule

End-of-month rule. A NINST-by-1 vector. This rule applies only when Maturity is an end-of-month date for a month having 30 or fewer days.

  • 0 = Ignore rule, meaning that a bond coupon payment date is always the same numerical day of the month.

  • 1 = Set rule on, meaning that a bond coupon payment date is always the last actual day of the month.

Default: 1

Name-Value Pair Arguments

Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside single quotes (' '). You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

AdjustCashFlowsBasis

Adjust the cash flows based on the actual period day count. NINST-by-1 of logicals.

Default: False

BusinessDayConvention

Require payment dates to be business dates. NINST-by-1 cell array with possible choices of business day convention:

  • actual

  • follow

  • modifiedfollow

  • previous

  • modifiedprevious

Default: actual

Holidays

Holidays used for business day convention. NHOLIDAYS-by-1 of MATLAB date numbers.

Default: If no dates are specified, holidays.m is used.

Output Arguments

Price

A number of instruments (NINST) by number of curves (NUMCURVES) matrix of fixed-rate note prices. Each column arises from one of the zero curves.

PriceNoAI

A NINST-by-NUMCURVES matrix of dirty bond price (clean + accrued interest). Each column arises from one of the zero curves.

CFlowAmounts

A NINST-by-NUMCFS matrix of cash flows for each bond.

CFlowDates

A NINST-by-NUMCFS matrix of payment dates for each bond.

Examples

Price a 4% fixed-rate note using a set of zero curves. Load the file deriv.mat, which provides ZeroRateSpec, the interest-rate term structure needed to price the note.

load deriv.mat 

Set the required values. Other arguments will use defaults.

CouponRate = 0.04;
Settle = '01-Jan-2000';
Maturity = '01-Jan-2003';

Use fixedbyzero to compute the price of the note:

Price = fixedbyzero(ZeroRateSpec, CouponRate, Settle, Maturity)

Price =

  98.7159
