SABR

Create SABR pricer object for Swaption instrument using SABR model

Description

Create and price a Swaption instrument object with a SABR model and a SABR pricing method using this workflow:

1. Use fininstrument to create a Swaption instrument object.

2. Use finmodel to specify a SABR model for the Swaption instrument.

3. Use finpricer to specify a SABR pricer object for the Swaption instrument.

   Note

   If you do not specify ProjectionCurve when you create a Swaption instrument with the SABR pricer, the ProjectionCurve value defaults to the DiscountCurve value.

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 instruments, models, and pricing methods for a Swaption instrument, see Choose Instruments, Models, and Pricers.

Creation

Syntax

SABRPricerObj = finpricer(PricerType,'DiscountCurve',ratecurve_obj,'Model',model)

Description

SABRPricerObj = finpricer(PricerType,'DiscountCurve',ratecurve_obj,'Model',model) creates a SABR pricer object by specifying PricerType and the required name-value pair argument Model to set properties using name-value pairs. For example, SABRPricerObj = finpricer("Analytic",'DiscountCurve',ratecurve_obj,'Model',SABRModel) creates a SABR pricer object.

Input Arguments

PricerType — Pricer type

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

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

Data Types: char | string

SABR 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: SABRPricerObj = finpricer("Analytic",'DiscountCurve',ratecurve_obj,'Model',SABRModel)

Examples

Use SABR Pricer and SABR Model to Price Swaption Instrument

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

Create ratecurve Object

Create a ratecurve object using ratecurve.

Settle = datetime(2018,9,15);
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-2018
         InterpMethod: "linear"
    ShortExtrapMethod: "next"
     LongExtrapMethod: "previous"

Create Swap Instrument Object

Use fininstrument to create the underlying Swap instrument object.

Swap = fininstrument("Swap",'Maturity',datetime(2023,1,30),'LegRate',[0.018 0.24],'LegType',["fixed","float"],'Basis',1,'Notional',100,'StartDate',datetime(2020,3,30),'ProjectionCurve',myRC,'Name',"swap_instrument")

Swap = 
  Swap with properties:

                     LegRate: [0.0180 0.2400]
                     LegType: ["fixed"    "float"]
                       Reset: [2 2]
                       Basis: [1 1]
                    Notional: 100
          LatestFloatingRate: [NaN NaN]
                 ResetOffset: [0 0]
    DaycountAdjustedCashFlow: [0 0]
             ProjectionCurve: [1x2 ratecurve]
       BusinessDayConvention: ["actual"    "actual"]
                    Holidays: NaT
                EndMonthRule: [1 1]
                   StartDate: 30-Mar-2020
                    Maturity: 30-Jan-2023
                        Name: "swap_instrument"

Create Swaption Instrument Object

Use fininstrument to create a Swaption instrument object.

Swaption = fininstrument("Swaption",'Strike',0.275,'ExerciseDate',datetime(2021,7,30),'Swap',Swap,'OptionType',"put",'ExerciseStyle',"european",'Name',"swaption_instrument")

Swaption = 
  Swaption with properties:

       OptionType: "put"
    ExerciseStyle: "european"
     ExerciseDate: 30-Jul-2021
           Strike: 0.2750
             Swap: [1x1 fininstrument.Swap]
             Name: "swaption_instrument"

Create SABR Model Object

Use finmodel to create a SABR model object.

SABRModel = finmodel("SABR",'Alpha',0.032,'Beta',0.04,'Rho',.08,'Nu',0.49,'Shift',0.002)

SABRModel = 
  SABR with properties:

             Alpha: 0.0320
              Beta: 0.0400
               Rho: 0.0800
                Nu: 0.4900
             Shift: 0.0020
    VolatilityType: "black"

Create SABR Pricer Object

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

outPricer = finpricer("analytic",'Model',SABRModel,'DiscountCurve',myRC)

outPricer = 
  SABR with properties:

    DiscountCurve: [1x1 ratecurve]
            Model: [1x1 finmodel.SABR]

Price Swaption Instrument

Use price to compute the price for the Swaption instrument.

Price = price(outPricer,Swaption)

Price = 10.3771
