Define the interest-rate term structure.

Rates = [0.03;0.035;0.040;0.045];
ValuationDate = 'Jan-1-2012';
StartDates = {'Jan-1-2012'; 'Jan-1-2013'; 'Jan-1-2014'; 'Jan-1-2015'};
EndDates = {'Jan-1-2013'; 'Jan-1-2014'; 'Jan-1-2015'; 'Jan-1-2016'};
Compounding = 1;

Create the RateSpec.

RateSpec = intenvset('ValuationDate', ValuationDate, 'StartDates',...
StartDates, 'EndDates', EndDates,'Rates', Rates, 'Compounding', Compounding)

RateSpec = struct with fields:
           FinObj: 'RateSpec'
      Compounding: 1
             Disc: [4x1 double]
            Rates: [4x1 double]
         EndTimes: [4x1 double]

Build the HJM tree.

VolSpec = hjmvolspec('Constant', 0.01);
TimeSpec = hjmtimespec(RateSpec.ValuationDate, EndDates, Compounding);
HJMTree = hjmtree(VolSpec, RateSpec, TimeSpec)

HJMTree = struct with fields:
      FinObj: 'HJMFwdTree'

     FwdTree: {[4x1 double]  [3x1x2 double]  [2x2x2 double]  [1x4x2 double]}

The floater instrument has a spread of 15, a period of one year, and matures and is callable on Jan-1-2016.

Spread = 15;
Settle = 'Jan-1-2012';
Maturity =  'Jan-1-2016';
Period = 1;
OptSpec = {'call'};
Strike = 95;
ExerciseDates = 'Jan-1-2016';

Compute the price of the floater with the embedded call.

Price = optemfloatbyhjm(HJMTree, Spread, Settle, Maturity,...
OptSpec, Strike, ExerciseDates)

Price = 96.2355

Input Arguments

HJMTree — Interest-rate tree structure

Settlement dates of floating-rate note specified as serial date numbers or date character vectors using a NINST-by-1 vector of dates.

Note

The Settle date for every floating-rate note with an embedded option is set to the ValuationDate of the HJM tree. The floating-rate note argument Settle is ignored.

Maturity — Floating-rate note maturity date

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

Floating-rate note maturity date specified as serial date numbers or date character vectors using a NINST-by-1 vector of dates.

Definition of option as 'call' or 'put' specified as a NINST-by-1 cell array of character vectors for 'call' or 'put'.

Data Types: cell | char

Strike — Option strike price values

nonnegative integer | vector of nonnegative integers

Option strike price values specified nonnegative integers using as NINST-by-NSTRIKES vector of strike price values.

Data Types: single | double

ExerciseDates — Exercise date for option (European, Bermuda, or American)

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

Exercise date for option (European, Bermuda, or American) specified as serial date numbers or date character vectors using a NINST-by-NSTRIKES or NINST-by-2 vector of for the option exercise dates.

• If a European or Bermuda option, the ExerciseDates is a 1-by-1 (European) or 1-by-NSTRIKES (Bermuda) vector of exercise dates. For a European option, there is only one ExerciseDate on the option expiry date.

• If an American option, then ExerciseDates is a 1-by-2 vector of exercise date boundaries. The option exercises on any date between or including the pair of dates on that row. If there is only one non-NaN date, or if ExerciseDates is 1-by-1, the option exercises between the Settle date and the single listed ExerciseDate.

Data Types: double | cell | char

Name-Value Arguments

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] = optemfloatbyhjm(HJMTree,Spread,Settle,Maturity,OptSpec,Strike,ExerciseDates,'AmericanOpt',1,'FloatReset',6,'Basis',8)

AmericanOpt — Option type

scalar | vector of positive integers[0,1]

Option type, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'AmericanOpt' and NINST-by-1 positive integer scalar flags with values:

• 0 — European/Bermuda

• 1 — American

Data Types: double

FloatReset — Frequency of payments per year

1 (default) | positive integer from the set[1,2,3,4,6,12] | vector of positive integers from the set [1,2,3,4,6,12]

Frequency of payments per year, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'FloatReset' and positive integers for the values [1,2,3,4,6,12] in a NINST-by-1 vector.

Note

Payments on floating-rate notes (FRNs) are determined by the effective interest-rate between reset dates. If the reset period for an FRN spans more than one tree level, calculating the payment becomes impossible due to the recombining nature of the tree. That is, the tree path connecting the two consecutive reset dates cannot be uniquely determined because there will be more than one possible path for connecting the two payment dates.

Data Types: double

Basis — Day-count basis of the instrument

0 (actual/actual) (default) | positive integers of the set [1...13] | vector of positive integers of the set [1...13]

Day-count basis of the instrument, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Basis' and a positive integer using a NINST-by-1 vector. The Basis value represents the basis used when annualizing the input forward-rate tree.

• 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

Data Types: double

1 (in effect) (default) | nonnegative integer [0,1]

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

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

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

Data Types: double

Principal — Principal values

100 (default) | vector of nonnegative values | cell array of nonnegative values

Principal values, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Principal' and nonnegative values using a NINST-by-1 vector or NINST-by-1 cell array of notional principal amounts. When using a NINST-by-1 cell array, 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.

structure

More About

Floating-Rate Note with Embedded Options

A floating-rate note with an embedded option enables floating-rate notes to have early redemption features.

A FRN with an embedded option gives investors or issuers the option to retire the outstanding principal prior to maturity. An embedded call option gives the right to retire the note prior to the maturity date (callable floater), and an embedded put option gives the right to sell the note back at a specific price (puttable floater).

For more information, see Floating-Rate Note with Embedded Options.
