floorbyhjm

Price floor instrument from Heath-Jarrow-Morton interest-rate tree

Syntax

[Price,PriceTree] = floorbyhjm(HJMTree,Strike,Settle,Maturity)

[Price,PriceTree] = floorbyhjm(___,FloorReset,Basis,Principal,Options)

Description

[Price,PriceTree] = floorbyhjm(HJMTree,Strike,Settle,Maturity) computes the price of a floor instrument from a Heath-Jarrow-Morton interest-rate tree. floorbyhjm computes prices of vanilla floors and amortizing floors.

[Price,PriceTree] = floorbyhjm(___,FloorReset,Basis,Principal,Options) adds optional arguments.

Examples

Price a 3% Floor Instrument Using an HJM Forward-Rate Tree

This example shows how to price a 3% floor instrument using an HJM forward-rate tree by loading the file deriv.mat, which provides HJMTree. The HJMTree structure contains the time and forward-rate information needed to price the floor instrument.

load deriv.mat;

Strike = 0.03;
Settle = '01-Jan-2000';
Maturity = '01-Jan-2004';

Price = floorbyhjm(HJMTree, Strike, Settle, Maturity)

Price = 0.0486

Compute the Price of an Amortizing Floor Using the HJM Model

Load deriv.mat to specify the HJMTree and then define the floor instrument.

load deriv.mat; 
Settle = '01-Jan-2000';
Maturity = '01-Jan-2004';
Strike = 0.05;
FloorReset = 1;
Principal ={{'01-Jan-2001' 100;'01-Jan-2002' 80;'01-Jan-2003' 70;'01-Jan-2004' 30}};

Price the amortizing floor.

Price = floorbyhjm(HJMTree, Strike, Settle, Maturity, FloorReset, Principal)

Price = 2.8215

Input Arguments

HJMTree — Interest-rate tree structure

structure

Interest-rate tree structure, specified by using hjmtree.

Data Types: struct

Strike — Rate at which floor is exercised

decimal

Rate at which the floor is exercised, specified as a NINST-by-1 vector of decimal values.

Data Types: double

Settle — Settlement date for floor

serial date number | date character vector | cell array of date character vectors

Settlement date for the floor, specified as a NINST-by-1 vector of serial date numbers or date character vectors. The Settle date for every floor is set to the ValuationDate of the HJM tree. The floor argument Settle is ignored.

Data Types: double | char | cell

Maturity — Maturity date for floor

serial date number | date character vector | cell array of date character vectors

Maturity date for the floor, specified as a NINST-by-1 vector of serial date numbers or date character vectors.

Data Types: double | char | cell

FloorReset — Reset frequency payment per year

1 (default) | numeric

(Optional) Reset frequency payment per year, specified as a NINST-by-1 vector.

Data Types: double

Basis — Day-count basis of instrument

0 (actual/actual) (default) | integer from 0 to 13

(Optional) Day-count basis representing the basis used when annualizing the input forward rate, specified as a NINST-by-1 vector of integers.

• 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

Principal — Notional principal amount

100 (default) | numeric

(Optional) Notional principal amount, specified as a NINST-by-1 of notional principal amounts, or a NINST-by-1 cell array, where each element is a NumDates-by-2 cell array where the first column is dates and the second column is associated principal amount. The date indicates the last day that the principal value is valid.

Use Principal to pass a schedule to compute the price for an amortizing floor.

Data Types: double | cell

Options — Derivatives pricing options structure

structure

(Optional) Derivatives pricing options structure, specified using derivset.

Data Types: struct

Output Arguments

Price — Expected price of floor at time 0

vector

Expected price of the floor at time 0, returned as a NINST-by-1 vector.

PriceTree — Tree structure with values of floor at each node

vector

Tree structure with values of the floor at each node, returned as a MATLAB^® structure of trees containing vectors of instrument prices and a vector of observation times for each node:

• PriceTree.tObs contains the observation times.

• PriceTree.PBush contains the clean prices.

More About

Floor

A floor is a contract that includes a guarantee setting the minimum interest rate to be received by the holder, based on an otherwise floating interest rate.

The payoff for a floor is:

$$\max (FloorRate-CurrentRate,0)$$
