Price fixed-rate note from Hull-White interest-rate tree

collapse all in page

Syntax

[Price,PriceTree] = fixedbyhw(HWTree,CouponRate,Settle,Maturity)
[Price,PriceTree] = fixedbyhw(___,Name,Value)

Description

[Price,PriceTree] = fixedbyhw(HWTree,CouponRate,Settle,Maturity) prices a fixed-rate note from a Hull-White interest-rate tree.

Note

Alternatively, you can use the FixedBond object to price fixed-rate bond instruments. For more information, see Get Started with Workflows Using Object-Based Framework for Pricing Financial Instruments.

example

[Price,PriceTree] = fixedbyhw(___,Name,Value) adds additional name-value pair arguments.

Open Live Script

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

load deriv.mat;

Set the required values. Other arguments will use defaults. 

CouponRate = 0.05;
Settle = datetime(2004,1,1);
Maturity = datetime(2006,1,1);

Use fixedbyhw to compute the price of the note. 

Price = fixedbyhw(HWTree, CouponRate, Settle, Maturity)
Price = 
103.5126

Input Arguments

Interest-rate tree structure, created by hwtree

Data Types: struct

Coupon annual rate, specified as a NINST-by-1 vector.

Data Types: double

Settlement date, specified either as a scalar or a NINST-by-1 vector using a datetime array, string array, or date character vectors.

To support existing code, fixedbyhw also accepts serial date numbers as inputs, but they are not recommended.

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

Maturity date, specified as a NINST-by-1 vector using a datetime array, string array, or date character vectors representing the maturity date for each fixed-rate note.

To support existing code, fixedbyhw also accepts serial date numbers as inputs, but they are not recommended.

Name-Value Arguments

collapse all

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: [Price,PriceTree] = fixedbyhw(HWTree,CouponRate,Settle,Maturity,'FixedReset',4)

Frequency of payments per year, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'FixedReset' and a NINST-by-1 vector.

Data Types: double

Day count basis representing the basis used when annualizing the input forward rate tree, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Basis' and a NINST-by-1 vector.

  • 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 (ICMA)

  • 9 = actual/360 (ICMA)

  • 10 = actual/365 (ICMA)

  • 11 = 30/360E (ICMA)

  • 12 = actual/365 (ISDA)

  • 13 = BUS/252

For more information, see Basis.

Data Types: double

Notional principal amounts, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Principal' and a vector or cell array.

Principal accepts a NINST-by-1 vector or NINST-by-1 cell array, where each element of the cell array is a NumDates-by-2 cell array and the first column is dates and the second column is its associated notional principal value. The date indicates the last day that the principal value is valid.

Data Types: cell | double

Derivatives pricing options structure, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Options' and a structure using derivset.

Data Types: struct

End-of-month rule flag for generating dates when Maturity is an end-of-month date for a month having 30 or fewer days, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'EndMonthRule' and a nonnegative integer [0, 1] using a NINST-by-1 vector.

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

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

Data Types: logical

Flag to adjust cash flows based on actual period day count, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'AdjustCashFlowsBasis' and a NINST-by-1 vector of logicals with values of 0 (false) or 1 (true).

Data Types: logical

Holidays used in computing business days, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Holidays' and MATLAB dates using a NHolidays-by-1 vector.

Data Types: datetime

Business day conventions, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'BusinessDayConvention' and a character vector or a N-by-1 cell array of character vectors of business day conventions. The selection for business day convention determines how non-business days are treated. Non-business days are defined as weekends plus any other date that businesses are not open (e.g. statutory holidays). Values are:

  • actual — Non-business days are effectively ignored. Cash flows that fall on non-business days are assumed to be distributed on the actual date.

  • follow — Cash flows that fall on a non-business day are assumed to be distributed on the following business day.

  • modifiedfollow — Cash flows that fall on a non-business day are assumed to be distributed on the following business day. However if the following business day is in a different month, the previous business day is adopted instead.

  • previous — Cash flows that fall on a non-business day are assumed to be distributed on the previous business day.

  • modifiedprevious — Cash flows that fall on a non-business day are assumed to be distributed on the previous business day. However if the previous business day is in a different month, the following business day is adopted instead.

Data Types: char | cell

Output Arguments

collapse all

Expected fixed-rate note prices at time 0, returned as a NINST-by-1 vector.

Tree structure of instrument prices, returned as a MATLAB structure of trees containing vectors of instrument prices and accrued interest, and a vector of observation times for each node. Within PriceTree:

  • PriceTree.PTree contains the clean prices.

  • PriceTree.AITree contains the accrued interest.

  • PriceTree.tObs contains the observation times.

  • PriceTree.Connect contains the connectivity vectors. Each element in the cell array describes how nodes in that level connect to the next. For a given tree level, there are NumNodes elements in the vector, and they contain the index of the node at the next level that the middle branch connects to. Subtracting 1 from that value indicates where the up-branch connects to, and adding 1 indicated where the down branch connects to.

  • PriceTree.Probs contains the probability arrays. Each element of the cell array contains the up, middle, and down transition probabilities for each node of the level.
