mbsconvy - Convexity of mortgage pool given yield

Syntax

Convexity = mbsconvy(Yield, Settle, Maturity, IssueDate, GrossRate, 
CouponRate, Delay, PrepaySpeed, PrepayMatrix)

Arguments

Yield

Mortgage yield, compounded monthly (in decimal).

Settle

Settlement date. A serial date number or date string. Settle must be earlier than Maturity.

Maturity

Maturity date. A serial date number or date string.

IssueDate

Issue date. A serial date number or date string.

GrossRate

Gross coupon rate (including fees), in decimal.

CouponRate

Net coupon rate, in decimal. Default = GrossRate.

Delay

Delay in days.

PrepaySpeed

(Optional) Relation of the conditional payment rate (CPR) to the benchmark model. Default = 0. Set PrepaySpeed to [] if you input a customized prepayment matrix.

PrepayMatrix

(Optional) Used only when PrepaySpeed is unspecified. Customized prepayment vector. A NaN-padded matrix of size
max(TermRemaining)-by-NMBS. Each column corresponds to each mortgage-backed security, and each row corresponds to each month after settlement.

All inputs (except PrepayMatrix) are number of mortgage-backed securities (NMBS) by 1 vectors.

Description

Convexity = mbsconvy(Yield, Settle, Maturity, IssueDate, GrossRate, CouponRate, Delay, PrepaySpeed, PrepayMatrix) computes mortgage-backed security convexity, given time information, semiannual mortgage yield, and optionally, a prepayment model.

Examples

Given a mortgage-backed security with the following characteristics, compute the convexity of the security.

Yield      = 0.07125;
Settle     = '15-Apr-2002';
Maturity   = '1 Jan 2030';
IssueDate  = '1-Jan-2000';
GrossRate  = 0.08125;
Speed      = 100;
CouponRate = 0.075;
Delay = 14;

Convexity = mbsconvy(Yield, Settle, Maturity, IssueDate, ... 
GrossRate, CouponRate, Delay, Speed)

Convexity =

  72.8263
