Price Swaptions with Interest-Rate Models Using Simulation

Introduction

This example shows how to price European swaptions using interest-rate models in Financial Instruments Toolbox™. Specifically, a Hull-White one factor model, a Linear Gaussian two-factor model, and a LIBOR Market Model are calibrated to market data and then used to generate interest-rate paths using Monte Carlo simulation.

The following sections set up the data that is then used with examples for Simulate Interest-Rate Paths Using the Hull-White One-Factor Model, Simulate Interest-Rate Paths Using the Linear Gaussian Two-Factor Model, and Simulate Interest-Rate Paths Using the LIBOR Market Model:

Construct a Zero Curve

This example shows how to use `ZeroRates` for a zero curve that is hard-coded. You can also create a zero curve by bootstrapping the zero curve from market data (for example, deposits, futures/forwards, and swaps)

The hard-coded data for the zero curve is defined as:

```Settle = datenum('21-Jul-2008'); % Zero Curve CurveDates = daysadd(Settle,360*([1 3 5 7 10 20]),1); ZeroRates = [1.9 2.6 3.1 3.5 4 4.3]'/100; plot(CurveDates,ZeroRates) datetick title(['Zero Curve for ' datestr(Settle)]);```

Construct an `IRCurve` object.

`irdc = IRDataCurve('Zero',Settle,CurveDates,ZeroRates);`

Create the `RateSpec`.

`RateSpec = intenvset('Rates',ZeroRates,'EndDates',CurveDates,'StartDate',Settle)`
```RateSpec = struct with fields: FinObj: 'RateSpec' Compounding: 2 Disc: [6x1 double] Rates: [6x1 double] EndTimes: [6x1 double] StartTimes: [6x1 double] EndDates: [6x1 double] StartDates: 733610 ValuationDate: 733610 Basis: 0 EndMonthRule: 1 ```

Define Swaption Parameters

While Monte Carlo simulation is typically used to value more sophisticated derivatives (for example, Bermudan swaptions), in this example, the price of a European swaption is computed with an exercise date of five years and an underlying swap of five years.

```InstrumentExerciseDate = datenum('21-Jul-2013'); InstrumentMaturity = datenum('21-Jul-2018'); InstrumentStrike = .045;```

Compute the Black Model and the Swaption Volatility Matrix

Black's model is often used to price and quote European exercise interest-rate options, that is, caps, floors and swaptions. In the case of swaptions, Black's model is used to imply a volatility given the current observed market price. The following matrix shows the Black implied volatility for a range of swaption exercise dates (columns) and underlying swap maturities (rows).

```SwaptionBlackVol = [22 21 19 17 15 13 12 21 19 17 16 15 13 11 20 18 16 15 14 12 11 19 17 15 14 13 12 10 18 16 14 13 12 11 10 15 14 13 12 12 11 10 13 13 12 11 11 10 9]/100; ExerciseDates = [1:5 7 10]; Tenors = [1:5 7 10]; EurExDatesFull = repmat(daysadd(Settle,ExerciseDates*360,1)',... length(Tenors),1); EurMatFull = reshape(daysadd(EurExDatesFull,... repmat(360*Tenors,1,length(ExerciseDates)),1),size(EurExDatesFull));```

Select Calibration Instruments

Selecting the instruments to calibrate the model to is one of the tasks in calibration. For Bermudan swaptions, it is typical to calibrate to European swaptions that are co-terminal with the Bermudan swaption to be priced. In this case, all swaptions having an underlying tenor that matures before the maturity of the swaption to be priced (21-Jul-2018) are used in the calibration.

```% Find the swaptions that expire on or before the maturity date of the % sample swaption relidx = find(EurMatFull <= InstrumentMaturity);```

Compute Swaption Prices Using Black's Model

This example shows how to compute swaption prices using Black's Model. The swaption prices are then used to compare the model’s predicted values that are obtained from the calibration process.

To compute the swaption prices using Black's model:

```SwaptionBlackPrices = zeros(size(SwaptionBlackVol)); SwaptionStrike = zeros(size(SwaptionBlackVol)); for iSwaption=1:length(ExerciseDates) for iTenor=1:length(Tenors) [~,SwaptionStrike(iTenor,iSwaption)] = swapbyzero(RateSpec,[NaN 0], Settle, EurMatFull(iTenor,iSwaption),... 'StartDate',EurExDatesFull(iTenor,iSwaption),'LegReset',[1 1]); SwaptionBlackPrices(iTenor,iSwaption) = swaptionbyblk(RateSpec, 'call', SwaptionStrike(iTenor,iSwaption),Settle, ... EurExDatesFull(iTenor,iSwaption), EurMatFull(iTenor,iSwaption), SwaptionBlackVol(iTenor,iSwaption)); end end```

Define Simulation Parameters

This example shows how to use the `simTermStructs` method with `HullWhite1F`, `LinearGaussian2F`, and `LiborMarketModel` objects.

To demonstrate using the `simTermStructs` method with `HullWhite1F`, `LinearGaussian2F`, and `LiborMarketModel` objects, use the following simulation parameters:

```nPeriods = 5; DeltaTime = 1; nTrials = 1000; Tenor = (1:10)'; SimDates = daysadd(Settle,360*DeltaTime*(0:nPeriods),1) SimTimes = diff(yearfrac(SimDates(1),SimDates)) % For 1 year periods and an evenly spaced tenor, the exercise row will be % the 5th row and the swaption maturity will be the 5th column exRow = 5; endCol = 5;```
```SimDates = 733610 733975 734340 734705 735071 735436 SimTimes = 1.0000 1.0000 1.0000 1.0027 1.0000```

Simulate Interest-Rate Paths Using the Hull-White One-Factor Model

This example shows how to simulate interest-rate paths using the Hull-White one-factor model. Before beginning this example that uses a `HullWhite1F` model, make sure that you have set up the data as described in:

The Hull-White one-factor model describes the evolution of the short rate and is specified using the zero curve, alpha, and sigma parameters for the equation

`$dr=\left[\theta \left(t\right)-a\left(t\right)r\right]dt+\sigma \left(t\right)dW$`

where:

dr is the change in the short-term interest rate over a small interval, dt.

r is the short-term interest rate.

Θ(t) is a function of time determining the average direction in which r moves, chosen such that movements in r are consistent with today's zero coupon yield curve.

α is the mean reversion rate.

dt is a small change in time.

σ is the annual standard deviation of the short rate.

W is the Brownian motion.

The Hull-White model is calibrated using the function `swaptionbyhw`, which constructs a trinomial tree to price the swaptions. Calibration consists of minimizing the difference between the observed market prices (computed above using the Black's implied swaption volatility matrix, see Compute the Black Model and the Swaption Volatility Matrix) and the model’s predicted prices.

In this example, the Optimization Toolbox™ function `lsqnonlin` is used to find the parameter set that minimizes the difference between the observed and predicted values. However, other approaches (for example, simulated annealing) may be appropriate. Starting parameters and constraints for α and σ are set in the variables `x0`, `lb`, and `ub`; these could also be varied depending upon the particular calibration approach.

Calibrate the set of parameters that minimize the difference between the observed and predicted values using `swaptionbyhw` and `lsqnonlin`.

```TimeSpec = hwtimespec(Settle,daysadd(Settle,360*(1:11),1), 2); HW1Fobjfun = @(x) SwaptionBlackPrices(relidx) - ... swaptionbyhw(hwtree(hwvolspec(Settle,'11-Aug-2015',x(2),'11-Aug-2015',x(1)), RateSpec, TimeSpec), 'call', SwaptionStrike(relidx),... EurExDatesFull(relidx), 0, EurExDatesFull(relidx), EurMatFull(relidx)); options = optimset('disp','iter','MaxFunEvals',1000,'TolFun',1e-5); % Find the parameters that minimize the difference between the observed and % predicted prices x0 = [.1 .01]; lb = [0 0]; ub = [1 1]; HW1Fparams = lsqnonlin(HW1Fobjfun,x0,lb,ub,options); HW_alpha = HW1Fparams(1) HW_sigma = HW1Fparams(2)```
``` Norm of First-order Iteration Func-count f(x) step optimality 0 3 0.953772 20.5 1 6 0.142828 0.0169199 1.53 2 9 0.123022 0.0146705 2.31 3 12 0.122222 0.0154098 0.482 4 15 0.122217 0.00131297 0.00409 Local minimum possible. lsqnonlin stopped because the final change in the sum of squares relative to its initial value is less than the selected value of the function tolerance. HW_alpha = 0.0967 HW_sigma = 0.0088```

Construct the `HullWhite1F` model using the `HullWhite1F` constructor.

`HW1F = HullWhite1F(RateSpec,HW_alpha,HW_sigma)`
```HW1F = HullWhite1F with properties: ZeroCurve: [1x1 IRDataCurve] Alpha: @(t,V)inAlpha Sigma: @(t,V)inSigma```

Use Monte Carlo simulation to generate the interest-rate paths with `HullWhite1F.simTermStructs`.

```HW1FSimPaths = HW1F.simTermStructs(nPeriods,'NTRIALS',nTrials,... 'DeltaTime',DeltaTime,'Tenor',Tenor,'antithetic',true); trialIdx = 1; figure surf(Tenor,SimDates,HW1FSimPaths(:,:,trialIdx)) datetick y keepticks keeplimits title(['Evolution of the Zero Curve for Trial:' num2str(trialIdx) ' of Hull White Model']) xlabel('Tenor (Years)')```

Price the European swaption.

```DF = exp(bsxfun(@times,-HW1FSimPaths,repmat(Tenor',[nPeriods+1 1]))); SwapRate = (1 - DF(exRow,endCol,:))./sum(bsxfun(@times,1,DF(exRow,1:endCol,:))); PayoffValue = 100*max(SwapRate-InstrumentStrike,0).*sum(bsxfun(@times,1,DF(exRow,1:endCol,:))); RealizedDF = prod(exp(bsxfun(@times,-HW1FSimPaths(1:exRow,1,:),SimTimes(1:exRow))),1); HW1F_SwaptionPrice = mean(RealizedDF.*PayoffValue) ```
```HW1F_SwaptionPrice = 2.1839 ```

Simulate Interest-Rate Paths Using the Linear Gaussian Two-Factor Model

This example shows how to simulate interest-rate paths using the Linear Gaussian two-factor model. Before beginning this example that uses a `LinearGaussian2F` model, make sure that you have set up the data as described in:

The Linear Gaussian two-factor model (called the G2++ by Brigo and Mercurio, see Interest-Rate Modeling Using Monte Carlo Simulation) is also a short rate model, but involves two factors. Specifically:

`$r\left(t\right)=x\left(t\right)+y\left(t\right)+\varphi \left(t\right)$`

`$dx\left(t\right)=-a\left(t\right)x\left(t\right)dt+\sigma \left(t\right)d{W}_{1}\left(t\right),x\left(0\right)=0$`

`$dy\left(t\right)=-b\left(t\right)y\left(t\right)dt+\eta \left(t\right)d{W}_{2}\left(t\right),y\left(0\right)=0$`

where $d{W}_{1}\left(t\right)d{W}_{2}\left(t\right)=\rho dt$ is a two-dimensional Brownian motion with correlation ρ, and ϕ is a function chosen to match the initial zero curve.

The function `swaptionbylg2f` is used to compute analytic values of the swaption price for model parameters, and therefore can be used to calibrate the model. Calibration consists of minimizing the difference between the observed market prices (computed above using the Black's implied swaption volatility matrix, see Compute the Black Model and the Swaption Volatility Matrix) and the model’s predicted prices.

In this example, the approach is similar to Simulate Interest-Rate Paths Using the Hull-White One-Factor Model and the Optimization Toolbox function `lsqnonlin` is used to minimize the difference between the observed swaption prices and the predicted swaption prices. However, other approaches (for example, simulated annealing) may also be appropriate. Starting parameters and constraints for a, b, η, ρ, and σ are set in the variables `x0`, `lb`, and `ub`; these could also be varied depending upon the particular calibration approach.

Calibrate the set of parameters that minimize the difference between the observed and predicted values using `swaptionbylg2f` and `lsqnonlin`.

```G2PPobjfun = @(x) SwaptionBlackPrices(relidx) - swaptionbylg2f(irdc,x(1),x(2),x(3),x(4),x(5),SwaptionStrike(relidx),... EurExDatesFull(relidx),EurMatFull(relidx),'Reset',1); options = optimset('disp','iter','MaxFunEvals',1000,'TolFun',1e-5); x0 = [.2 .1 .02 .01 -.5]; lb = [0 0 0 0 -1]; ub = [1 1 1 1 1]; LG2Fparams = lsqnonlin(G2PPobjfun,x0,lb,ub,options)```

Create the `G2PP` object and use Monte Carlo simulation to generate the interest-rate paths with `LinearGaussian2F.simTermStructs`.

```LG2f_a = LG2Fparams(1); LG2f_b = LG2Fparams(2); LG2f_sigma = LG2Fparams(3); LG2f_eta = LG2Fparams(4); LG2f_rho = LG2Fparams(5); G2PP = LinearGaussian2F(RateSpec,LG2f_a,LG2f_b,LG2f_sigma,LG2f_eta,LG2f_rho); G2PPSimPaths = G2PP.simTermStructs(nPeriods,'NTRIALS',nTrials,...

```G2PP_SwaptionPrice = 2.0988```

Simulate Interest-Rate Paths Using the LIBOR Market Model

This example shows how to simulate interest-rate paths using the LIBOR market model. Before beginning this example that uses a `LiborMarketModel`, make sure that you have set up the data as described in:

The LIBOR Market Model (LMM) differs from short rate models in that it evolves a set of discrete forward rates. Specifically, the lognormal LMM specifies the following diffusion equation for each forward rate

`$\frac{d{F}_{i}\left(t\right)}{{F}_{i}}=-{\mu }_{i}dt+{\sigma }_{i}\left(t\right)d{W}_{i}$`

where:

W is an N-dimensional geometric Brownian motion with

`$d{W}_{i}\left(t\right)d{W}_{j}\left(t\right)={\rho }_{ij}$`

The LMM relates the drifts of the forward rates based on no-arbitrage arguments. Specifically, under the Spot LIBOR measure, the drifts are expressed as

`${\mu }_{i}\left(t\right)=-{\sigma }_{i}\left(t\right)\sum _{j=q\left(t\right)}^{i}\frac{{\tau }_{j}{\rho }_{i,j}{\sigma }_{j}\left(t\right){F}_{j}\left(t\right)}{1+{\tau }_{j}{F}_{j}\left(t\right)}$`

where:

${\tau }_{i}$ is the time fraction associated with the ith forward rate

q(t) is an index defined by the relation

`${T}_{q\left(t\right)-1}`

and the Spot LIBOR numeraire is defined as

`$B\left(t\right)=P\left(t,{T}_{q\left(t\right)}\right)\prod _{n=0}^{q\left(t\right)-1}\left(1+{\tau }_{n}{F}_{n}\left({T}_{n}\right)\right)$`

The choice with the LMM is how to model volatility and correlation and how to estimate the parameters of these models for volatility and correlation. In practice, you may use a combination of historical data (for example, observed correlation between forward rates) and current market data. For this example, only swaption data is used. Further, many different parameterizations of the volatility and correlation exist. For this example, two relatively straightforward parameterizations are used.

One of the most popular functional forms in the literature for volatility is:

`${\sigma }_{i}\left(t\right)={\phi }_{i}\left(a\left({T}_{i}-t\right)+b\right){e}^{c\left({T}_{i}-t\right)}+d$`

where ϕ adjusts the curve to match the volatility for the i th forward rate. For this example, all of the ϕ’s are taken to be `1`. For the correlation, the following functional form is used:

`${\rho }_{i,j}={e}^{-\beta |i-j|}$`

Once the functional forms have been specified, these parameters must be estimated using market data. One useful approximation, initially developed by Rebonato, is the following, which relates the Black volatility for a European swaption, given a set of volatility functions and a correlation matrix

`${\left({\upsilon }_{{}_{\alpha ,\beta }}^{LFM}\right)}^{2}=\sum _{i,j=\alpha +1}^{\beta }\frac{{w}_{i}\left(0\right){w}_{j}\left(0\right){F}_{i}\left(0\right){F}_{j}\left(0\right){\rho }_{i,j}}{{S}_{\alpha ,\beta }{\left(0\right)}^{2}}\underset{0}{\overset{{T}_{\alpha }}{\int }}{\sigma }_{i}\left(t\right){\sigma }_{j}\left(t\right)dt$`

where:

`${w}_{i}\left(t\right)=\frac{{\tau }_{i}P\left(t,{T}_{i}\right)}{\sum _{k=\alpha +1}^{\beta }{\tau }_{\kappa }P\left(t,{t}_{\kappa }\right)}$`

This calculation is done using the function `blackvolbyrebonato` to compute analytic values of the swaption price for model parameters, and therefore, is then used to calibrate the model. Calibration consists of minimizing the difference between the observed implied swaption Black volatilities and the predicted Black volatilities.

In this example, the approach is similar to Simulate Interest-Rate Paths Using the Hull-White One-Factor Model and Simulate Interest-Rate Paths Using the Linear Gaussian Two-Factor Model where the Optimization Toolbox function `lsqnonlin` is used to minimize the difference between the observed swaption prices and the predicted swaption prices. However, other approaches (for example, simulated annealing) may also be appropriate. Starting parameters and constraints for a, b, d, and β are set in the variables `x0`, `lb`, and `ub`; these could also be varied depending upon the particular calibration approach.

Calibrate the set of parameters that minimize the difference between the observed and predicted values using `blackvolbyrebonato` and `lsqnonlin`.

Inspect the correlation matrix.
