irbootstrap

Bootstrap interest-rate curve from market data

Since R2020a

Description

example

outCurve = irbootstrap(BootInstruments,Settle) creates a data structure for storing interest-rate term structure data. The outCurve output is a ratecurve object.

example

outCurve = irbootstrap(___,Name,Value) specifies options using one or more name-value pair arguments in addition to any of the input argument combinations in the previous syntax. For example, OutCurve = irbootstrap(Settle,BootInstruments,'Type',"zero",'Compounding',2,'Basis',5,'InterpMethod',"cubic") bootstraps a zero curve from BootInstruments.

Define Deposit and Swap Parameters

Settle = datetime(2018,3,21);
DepRates = [.0050769 .0054934 .0061432 .0072388 .0093263]';
DepTimes = [1 2 3 6 12]';
DepDates = datemnth(Settle,DepTimes);
nDeposits = length(DepTimes);
 
SwapRates = [.0112597 0;.0128489 0;.0138917 0;.0146135 0;.0151175 0;...
      .0155184 0;.0158536 0;.0161435 0];
SwapTimes = (2:9)';
SwapDates = datemnth(Settle,12*SwapTimes);
nSwaps = length(SwapTimes);
 
nInst = nDeposits + nSwaps;

Create a Vector of Market Swap Instruments

Use fininstrument to create a vector of market Deposit and Swap instrument objects.

 BootInstruments(nInst,1) = fininstrument.FinInstrument;
 for ii=1:length(DepDates)
      BootInstruments(ii) = fininstrument("deposit",'Maturity',DepDates(ii),'Rate',DepRates(ii));
 end
 
 for ii=1:length(SwapDates)
      BootInstruments(ii+nDeposits) = fininstrument("swap",'Maturity',SwapDates(ii),'LegRate',[SwapRates(ii) 0]);
 end

Create ratecurve Object for Zero-Rate Curve

Use irbootstrap to create a ratecurve object for the zero-rate curve.

ZeroCurve = irbootstrap(BootInstruments,Settle)
ZeroCurve = 
  ratecurve with properties:

                 Type: "zero"
          Compounding: -1
                Basis: 0
                Dates: [13x1 datetime]
                Rates: [13x1 double]
               Settle: 21-Mar-2018
         InterpMethod: "linear"
    ShortExtrapMethod: "next"
     LongExtrapMethod: "previous"

This example shows how to create a ratecurve object using irbootstrap with Deposit and Swap instruments and a DiscountCurve for discounting cash flows.

Settle = datetime(2021,4,15); 
crvDates = Settle + [calmonths([1 2 3 6]) calyears([1 2 3 5 7 10 20 30])]';
crvRates = [0.0004 0.0004 0.0005 0.0006 0.0008 0.0018 0.0037 0.0088 0.013 0.0165 0.022 0.0233]';
DiscountCurve = ratecurve("zero",Settle,crvDates,crvRates);

DepRates = [0.002 0.0021 0.0023 0.0024 .0028]';
DepDates = Settle + calmonths([1 2 3 6 12]');

SwapRates = [0.0041 0;0.0057 0;0.017 0;0.0193 0;0.024 0;0.027 0];
SwapTimes = [2 3 5 10 20 30]';
SwapDates = datemnth(Settle,12*SwapTimes);

BootInstruments = [fininstrument("deposit","Maturity",DepDates,"Rate",DepRates); ...
    fininstrument("swap","Maturity",SwapDates,"LegRate",SwapRates)];

ZeroCurve = irbootstrap(BootInstruments,Settle,'DiscountCurve',DiscountCurve)
ZeroCurve = 
  ratecurve with properties:

                 Type: "zero"
          Compounding: -1
                Basis: 0
                Dates: [11x1 datetime]
                Rates: [11x1 double]
               Settle: 15-Apr-2021
         InterpMethod: "linear"
    ShortExtrapMethod: "next"
     LongExtrapMethod: "previous"

Input Arguments

collapse all

Collection of instruments, specified as an array of instrument objects. The collection of instruments can include Deposit, Swap, FRA, STIRFuture, OISFuture, and OvernightIndexedSwap instruments.

Data Types: object

Settlement date, specified as a scalar datetime, string, or date character vector.

To support existing code, irbootstrap also accepts serial date numbers as inputs, but they are not recommended.

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: OutCurve = irbootstrap(Settle,BootInstruments,'Type',"zero",'Compounding',2,'Basis',5,'InterpMethod',"cubic")

Type of interest-rate curve, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Type' and a scalar string or character vector.

Note

When you use irbootstrap, the value you specify for Type can impact the curve construction because it affects the type of data that is interpolated on (that is, forward rates, zero rates, or discount factors) during the bootstrapping process.

Data Types: char | string

Compounding frequency, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Compounding' and a scalar numeric using the supported values: –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 12.

Data Types: double

Day-count basis, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Basis' and a scalar integer.

  • 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

Interpolation method, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'InterpMethod' and a scalar string or character vector using a supported value. For more information on interpolation methods, see interp1.

Data Types: char | string

Extrapolation method for data before first data, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'ShortExtrapMethod' and a scalar string or character vector using a supported value. For more information on interpolation methods, see interp1.

Data Types: char | string

Extrapolation method for data after last data, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'LongExtrapMethod' and a scalar string or character vector using a supported value. For more information on interpolation methods, see interp1.

Data Types: char | string

ratecurve object for discounting cash flows, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'DiscountCurve' and the name of a previously created ratecurve object.

Data Types: object

Convexity adjustment for one or more STIRFuture instruments, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'ConvexityAdjustment' and an NFutures-by-1 vector of numeric values.

Note

You can only use ConvexityAdjustment when using irbootstrap with a STIRFuture instrument. Also, the length of the ConvexityAdjustment vector must match the number of STIRFuture instruments.

Data Types: double
