Creation

Syntax

CDSBlackModelObj = finmodel(ModelType,'SpreadVolatility',spreadvolatility_value)

Description

CDSBlackModelObj = finmodel(ModelType,'SpreadVolatility',spreadvolatility_value) creates a CDSBlack model object by specifying ModelType and the required name-value pair argument SpreadVolatility to set the properties using name-value pair arguments. For example, CDSBlackModelObj = finmodel("CDSBlack",'SpreadVolatility',0.052) creates a CDSBlack model object.

Input Arguments

ModelType — Model type

string with value "CDSBlack" | character vector with value 'CDSBlack'

Model type, specified as a string with the value of "CDSBlack" or a character vector with the value of 'CDSBlack'.

Data Types: char | string

CDSBlack Name-Value Pair Arguments

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

Example: CDSBlackModelObj = finmodel("CDSBlack",'SpreadVolatility',0.052)

'SpreadVolatility' — Spread volatility value

nonnegative numeric

Spread volatility value, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'SpreadVolatility' and a scalar nonnegative numeric.

Data Types: double

Properties

SpreadVolatility — Spread volatility value

nonnegative numeric

Spread volatility value, returned as a scalar nonnegative numeric.

Data Types: double

Examples

Use CDS Black Model and CDS Black Pricer to Price CDS Option Instrument

This example shows the workflow to price a CDSOption instrument when you use a CDSBlack model and a CDSBlack pricing method.

Create CDS Instrument Object

Use fininstrument to create a CDS instrument object as the underlying instrument.

CDS = fininstrument("CDS",'Maturity',datetime(2021,9,15),'ContractSpread',150,'Notional',100,'Name',"CDS_instrument")

CDS = 
  CDS with properties:

           ContractSpread: 150
                 Maturity: 15-Sep-2021
                   Period: 4
                    Basis: 2
             RecoveryRate: 0.4000
    BusinessDayConvention: "actual"
                 Holidays: NaT
        PayAccruedPremium: 1
                 Notional: 100
                     Name: "CDS_instrument"

Create defprobcurve Object

Create a defprobcurve object using defprobcurve.

Settle = datetime(2020,9,20);
DefProbTimes = [calmonths(6) calyears([1 2 3 4 5 7 10 20 30])];
DefaultProbabilities = [0.005 0.007 0.01 0.015 0.026 0.04 0.077 0.093 0.15 0.20]';
ProbDates = Settle + DefProbTimes;
DefaultProbCurve = defprobcurve(Settle,ProbDates,DefaultProbabilities,'Basis',5)

DefaultProbCurve = 
  defprobcurve with properties:

                  Settle: 20-Sep-2020
                   Basis: 5
                   Dates: [10x1 datetime]
    DefaultProbabilities: [10x1 double]

Create ratecurve Object

Create a ratecurve object using ratecurve.

Settle = datetime(2020,9,15);
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
                Dates: [10x1 datetime]
                Rates: [10x1 double]
               Settle: 15-Sep-2020
         InterpMethod: "linear"
    ShortExtrapMethod: "next"
     LongExtrapMethod: "previous"

Create CDSOption Instrument Object

Use fininstrument to create a CDSOption instrument object.

CDSOptionInst = fininstrument("CDSOption",'ExerciseDate',datetime(2021,8,15),'Strike',20,'CDS',CDS,'OptionType',"put",'Name',"CDSOption_option")

CDSOptionInst = 
  CDSOption with properties:

      OptionType: "put"
          Strike: 20
        Knockout: 0
    ExerciseDate: 15-Aug-2021
             CDS: [1x1 fininstrument.CDS]
            Name: "CDSOption_option"

Create CDSBlack Model Object

Use finmodel to create a CDSBlack model object.

CDSBlackModel = finmodel("CDSBlack",'SpreadVolatility',.2)

CDSBlackModel = 
  CDSBlack with properties:

    SpreadVolatility: 0.2000

Create CDSBlack Pricer Object

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

outPricer = finpricer("analytic",'Model',CDSBlackModel,'DefaultProbabilityCurve',DefaultProbCurve,'DiscountCurve',myRC)

outPricer = 
  CDSBlack with properties:

                      Model: [1x1 finmodel.CDSBlack]
              DiscountCurve: [1x1 ratecurve]
    DefaultProbabilityCurve: [1x1 defprobcurve]

Price CDSOption Instrument

Use price to compute the price for the CDSOption instrument.

Price = price(outPricer,CDSOptionInst)

Price = 3.3016e-04
