floatbybdt - Price floating-rate note from Black-Derman-Toy interest-rate tree

Syntax

[Price, PriceTree] = floatbybdt(BDTTree, Spread, Settle, Maturity) [Price, PriceTree] = floatbybdt(BDTTree, Spread, Settle, Maturity, Reset, Basis, Principal, Options, EndMonthRule) [Price, PriceTree] = floatbybdt(BDTTree, Spread, Settle, Maturity,Name,Value)

Input Arguments

BDTTree

Interest-rate tree structure created by bdttree.

Spread

Number of instruments (NINST)-by-1 vector of number of basis points over the reference rate.

Settle

Settlement dates. NINST-by-1 vector of dates representing the settlement dates of the floating-rate note.

Note The Settle date for every floating-rate note is set to the ValuationDate of the BDT Tree. The floating-rate note argument Settle is ignored.

Maturity

NINST-by-1 vector of dates representing the maturity dates of the floating-rate note.

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.

Note Payments on floating-rate notes (FRNs) are determined by the effective interest-rate between reset dates. If the reset period for a FRN spans more than one tree level, calculating the payment becomes impossible due to the recombining nature of the tree. That is, the tree path connecting the two consecutive reset dates can not be uniquely determined because there will be more than one possible path for connecting the two payment dates.

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

NINST-by-1 vector of notional principal amounts or NINST-by-1 cell array. For the latter case, each element of the cell array is a NumDates-by-2 matrix where the first column is dates and the second column is associated principal amount. The date indicates the last day that the principal value is valid.

Default: 100

Options

Derivatives pricing options structure created with derivset.

EndMonthRule

End-of-month rule. 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.

Description

[Price, PriceTree] = floatbybdt(BDTTree, Spread,Settle, Maturity) computes the price of a floating-rate note from a BDT tree.

[Price, PriceTree] = floatbybdt(BDTTree, Spread,Settle, Maturity, Reset, Basis, Principal, Options,EndMonthRule) computes the price of a floating-rate note with optional inputs from a BDT tree.

[Price, PriceTree] = floatbybdt(BDTTree, Spread, Settle,Maturity,Name,Value) computes the price of a floating-rate note from a BDT tree with additional options specified by one or more Name,Value pair arguments..

Price is an NINST-by-1 vector of expected prices of the floating-rate note at time 0.

PriceTree is a structure of trees containing vectors of instrument prices and accrued interest, and a vector of observation times for each node.

PriceTree.PTree contains the clean prices.

PriceTree.AITree contains the accrued interest.

PriceTree.tObs contains the observation times.

The Settle date for every floating-rate note is set to the ValuationDate of the BDT tree. The floating-rate note argument Settle is ignored.

Examples

Price a Floating-Rate Note Using a BDT Tree

Price a 20-basis point floating-rate note using a BDT interest-rate tree.

Load the file deriv.mat, which provides BDTTree. The BDTTree structure contains the time and interest-rate information needed to price the note.

load deriv.mat;

Define the floating-rate note using the required arguments. Other arguments use defaults.

Spread = 20;
Settle = '01-Jan-2000';
Maturity = '01-Jan-2003';

Use floatbybdt to compute the price of the note.

Price = floatbybk(BKTree, Spread, Settle, Maturity)

Price =

  100.4865

Price an Amortizing Floating-Rate Note

Price an amortizing floating-rate note using the Principal input argument to define the amortization schedule.

Create the RateSpec.

Rates = [0.03583; 0.042147; 0.047345; 0.052707; 0.054302];
ValuationDate = '15-Nov-2011';
StartDates = ValuationDate;
EndDates = {'15-Nov-2012';'15-Nov-2013';'15-Nov-2014' ;'15-Nov-2015';'15-Nov-2016'};
Compounding = 1;
RateSpec = intenvset('ValuationDate', ValuationDate,'StartDates', StartDates,...
'EndDates', EndDates,'Rates', Rates, 'Compounding', Compounding)

RateSpec = 

           FinObj: 'RateSpec'
      Compounding: 1
             Disc: [5x1 double]
            Rates: [5x1 double]
         EndTimes: [5x1 double]
       StartTimes: [5x1 double]
         EndDates: [5x1 double]
       StartDates: 734822
    ValuationDate: 734822
            Basis: 0
     EndMonthRule: 1

Create the floating-rate instrument using the following data:

Settle ='15-Nov-2011';
Maturity = '15-Nov-2015';
Spread = 15;

Define the floating-rate note amortizing schedule.

Principal ={{'15-Nov-2012' 100;'15-Nov-2013' 70;'15-Nov-2014' 40;'15-Nov-2015' 10}};

Build the BDT tree and assume volatility is 10%.

MatDates = {'15-Nov-2012'; '15-Nov-2013';'15-Nov-2014';'15-Nov-2015';'15-Nov-2016';'15-Nov-2017'};
BDTTimeSpec = bdttimespec(ValuationDate, MatDates);
Volatility = 0.10;  
BDTVolSpec = bdtvolspec(ValuationDate, MatDates, Volatility*ones(1,length(MatDates))');
BDTT = bdttree(BDTVolSpec, RateSpec, BDTTimeSpec);

Compute the price of the amortizing floating-rate note.

Price = floatbybdt(BDTT, Spread, Settle, Maturity, 'Principal', Principal)

Price =

  100.3059
