FloatBond

FloatBond instrument object

Description

Create and price a FloatBond instrument object using this workflow:

1. Use fininstrument to create a FloatBond instrument object.

2. Use ratecurve to specify a curve model for the FloatBond instrument or use a HullWhite, BraceGatarekMusiela, SABRBraceGatarekMusiela, or LinearGaussian2F model.

3. Choose a pricing method.

   • When using a ratecurve, use finpricer to specify a Discount pricing method for one or more FloatBond instruments.

   • When using a HullWhite, BraceGatarekMusiela, SABRBraceGatarekMusiela, or LinearGaussian2F model, use finpricer to specify an IRMonteCarlo pricing method for one or more FloatBond instruments.

For more information on this workflow, see Get Started with Workflows Using Object-Based Framework for Pricing Financial Instruments.

For more information on the available models and pricing methods for a FloatBond instrument, see Choose Instruments, Models, and Pricers.

Creation

Syntax

FloatBondObj = fininstrument(InstrumentType,'Spread',spread_value,'Maturity',maturity_date)

FloatBondObj = fininstrument(___,Name,Value)

Description

FloatBondObj = fininstrument(InstrumentType,'Spread',spread_value,'Maturity',maturity_date) creates a FloatBond object by specifying InstrumentType and sets the properties for the required name-value pair arguments Spread and Maturity.

The FloatBond instrument supports a vanilla floating rate note and an amortizing floating rate note. For more information, see Floating-Rate Note.

FloatBondObj = fininstrument(___,Name,Value) sets optional properties using additional name-value pairs in addition to the required arguments in the previous syntax. For example, FloatBondObj = fininstrument("FloatBond",'Spread',0.6,'Maturity',datetime(2019,1,30),'Basis',1,'Principal',100,'FirstCouponDate',datetime(2016,1,30),'EndMonthRule',true,'Name',"float_bond_instrument") creates a FloatBond instrument with a spread of 0.6 and a maturity of January 30, 2019. You can specify multiple name-value pair arguments.

The selection for business day convention determines how nonbusiness days are treated. Nonbusiness days are defined as weekends plus any other date that businesses are not open (for example, statutory holidays). Values are:

• "actual" — Nonbusiness days are effectively ignored. Cash flows that fall on nonbusiness days are assumed to be distributed on the actual date.

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

• "modifiedfollow" — Cash flows that fall on a nonbusiness 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 nonbusiness day are assumed to be distributed on the previous business day.

• "modifiedprevious" — Cash flows that fall on a nonbusiness 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: double | cell | datetime | string

EndMonthRule — End-of-month rule flag for generating dates when Maturity is end-of-month date for month with 30 or fewer days

true (in effect) (default) | scalar logical with value of true or false | vector of logicals with values of true or false

End-of-month rule flag for generating dates when Maturity is an end-of-month date for a month with 30 or fewer days, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'EndMonthRule' and a scalar logical or an NINST-by-1 vector of logicals with values of true or false.

• If you set EndMonthRule to false, the software ignores the rule, meaning that a payment date is always the same numerical day of the month.

• If you set EndMonthRule to true, the software sets the rule on, meaning that a payment date is always the last actual day of the month.

Data Types: logical

IssueDate — Bond issue date

NaT (default) | datetime | serial date number | date character vector | date string | vector of datetimes | vector of serial date numbers | cell array of date character vectors | date string array

Bond issue date, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'IssueDate' and a scalar datetime, serial date number, date character vector, date string or an NINST-by-1 vector of datetimes, serial date numbers, cell array of date character vectors, or date string array.

If you use date character vectors or date strings, the format must be recognizable by datetime because the IssueDate property is stored as a datetime.

Data Types: double | char | cell | string | datetime

FirstCouponDate — Irregular first coupon date

NaT (default) | datetime | serial date number | date character vector | date string | vector of datetimes | vector of serial date numbers | cell array of date character vectors | date string array

Irregular first coupon date, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'FirstCouponDate' and a scalar datetime, serial date number, date character vector, date string or an NINST-by-1 vector of datetimes, serial date numbers, cell array of date character vectors, or date string array.

When FirstCouponDate and LastCouponDate are both specified, FirstCouponDate takes precedence in determining the coupon payment structure. If you do not specify FirstCouponDate, the cash flow payment dates are determined from other inputs.

If you use date character vectors or date strings, the format must be recognizable by datetime because the FirstCouponDate property is stored as a datetime.

Data Types: double | char | cell | string | datetime

LastCouponDate — Irregular last coupon date

NaT (default) | datetime | serial date number | date character vector | date string | vector of datetimes | vector of serial date numbers | cell array of date character vectors | date string array

Irregular last coupon date, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'LastCouponDate' and a scalar datetime, serial date number, date character vector, date string or an NINST-by-1 vector of datetimes, serial date numbers, cell array of date character vectors, or date string array.

If you specify LastCouponDate but not FirstCouponDate, LastCouponDate determines the coupon structure of the bond. The coupon structure of a bond is truncated at LastCouponDate, regardless of where it falls, and is followed only by the bond's maturity cash flow date. If you do not specify LastCouponDate, the cash flow payment dates are determined from other inputs.

If you use date character vectors or date strings, the format must be recognizable by datetime because the LastCouponDate property is stored as a datetime.

Data Types: double | cell | char | string | datetime

StartDate — Forward starting date of payments

NaT (default) | datetime | serial date number | character vector | date string | vector of datetimes | vector of serial date numbers | cell array of date character vectors | date string array

Create HullWhite Model Object

Use finmodel to create a HullWhite model object.

HullWhiteModel = finmodel("HullWhite",'Alpha',0.32,'Sigma',0.49)

HullWhiteModel = 
  HullWhite with properties:

    Alpha: 0.3200
    Sigma: 0.4900

Create ratecurve Object

Create a ratecurve object using ratecurve.

Settle = datetime(2019,1,1);
Type = 'zero';
ZeroTimes = [calmonths(6) calyears([1 2 3 4 5 7 10 20 30])]';
ZeroRates = [0.0052 0.0055 0.0061 0.0073 0.0094 0.0119 0.0168 0.0222 0.0293 0.0307]';
ZeroDates = Settle + ZeroTimes;
 
myRC = ratecurve('zero',Settle,ZeroDates,ZeroRates)

myRC = 
  ratecurve with properties:

                 Type: "zero"
          Compounding: -1
                Basis: 0

Create IRMonteCarlo Pricer Object

Use finpricer to create an IRMonteCarlo pricer object and use the ratecurve object for the 'DiscountCurve' name-value pair argument.

outPricer = finpricer("IRMonteCarlo",'Model',HullWhiteModel,'DiscountCurve',myRC,'SimulationDates',ZeroDates)

outPricer = 
  HWMonteCarlo with properties:

          NumTrials: 1000
      RandomNumbers: []
      DiscountCurve: [1x1 ratecurve]
    SimulationDates: [01-Jul-2019    01-Jan-2020    01-Jan-2021    ...    ]
              Model: [1x1 finmodel.HullWhite]

Price FloatBond Instrument

Use price to compute the price and sensitivities for the FloatBond instrument.

[Price,outPR] = price(outPricer,FloatB,["all"])

Price = 109.1227

outPR = 
  priceresult with properties:

       Results: [1x4 table]
    PricerData: [1x1 struct]

outPR.Results

Floating-Rate Note

A floating-rate note is a security like a bond, but the interest rate of the note is reset periodically, relative to a reference index rate, to reflect fluctuations in market interest rates.
