Syntax

[Price,PriceResult] = price(inpPricer,inpInstrument)

Description

[Price,PriceResult] = price(inpPricer,inpInstrument) computes the instrument price and related pricing information based on the pricing object inpPricer and the instrument object inpInstrument.

The price function computes the value of the futures contract for the party that is long (not short) for the underlying asset, assuming the contract is held until maturity like a forward contract. If the price is negative for the party that is long, then the value is positive for the other party that is short. If the price is positive for the party that is long, then the value is negative for the other party that is short.

This example shows the workflow to price a BondFuture instrument when you use a ratecurve object and a Future pricing method.

Create ratecurve Object

Create a ratecurve object using ratecurve. 

Settle = datetime(2022,3,1);
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;
ZeroCurve = ratecurve("zero",Settle,ZeroDates,ZeroRates,Compounding=2);

Create Underlying FixedBond Instrument Object

Use fininstrument to create a FixedBond instrument object. 

FixB = fininstrument("FixedBond",Maturity=datetime(2032,9,1),CouponRate=0.05,Name="fixed_bond_instrument")
FixB = 
  FixedBond with properties:

                  CouponRate: 0.0500
                      Period: 2
                       Basis: 0
                EndMonthRule: 1
                   Principal: 100
    DaycountAdjustedCashFlow: 0
       BusinessDayConvention: "actual"
                    Holidays: NaT
                   IssueDate: NaT
             FirstCouponDate: NaT
              LastCouponDate: NaT
                   StartDate: NaT
                    Maturity: 01-Sep-2032
                        Name: "fixed_bond_instrument"

Create BondFuture Instrument Object

Use fininstrument to create a BondFuture instrument object.

BondFut = fininstrument("BondFuture",Maturity=datetime(2022,9,1),QuotedPrice=86,Bond=FixB,ConversionFactor=1.43,Name="bondfuture_instrument")
BondFut = 
  BondFuture with properties:

            Maturity: 01-Sep-2022
         QuotedPrice: 86
                Bond: [1x1 fininstrument.FixedBond]
    ConversionFactor: 1.4300
            Notional: 100000
                Name: "bondfuture_instrument"

Create Future Pricer Object

Use finpricer to create a Future pricer object and use the ratecurve object with the DiscountCurve name-value argument.

outPricer = finpricer("Future",DiscountCurve=ZeroCurve,SpotPrice=125)
outPricer = 
  Future with properties:

    DiscountCurve: [1x1 ratecurve]
        SpotPrice: 125

Price BondFuture Instrument

Use price to compute the price and price result for the BondFuture instrument.

[Price,outPR] = price(outPricer,BondFut)
Price = 
-151.9270

outPR = 
  priceresult with properties:

       Results: [1x4 table]
    PricerData: []


outPR.Results
ans=1×4 table
     Price     FairDeliveryPrice    FairFuturePrice    AccruedInterest
    _______    _________________    _______________    _______________

    -151.93       1.2283e+05            85.893                0

Input Arguments

collapse all

Pricer object, specified as a scalar Future pricer object. Use finpricer to create the Future pricer object.

Data Types: object

Instrument object, specified as a scalar or vector for BondFuture, CommodityFuture, FXFuture, or EquityIndexFuture instrument objects. Use fininstrument to create these instrument objects.

Data Types: object

Output Arguments

Instrument price, returned as a numeric.

Price result, returned as an object. The PriceResult.Results is a table of results that includes Price, FairDeliveryPrice, FairFuturePrice, and AccruedInterest.
