FixedBondOption

FixedBondOption instrument object

Since R2020a

Description

Create and price a FixedBondOption instrument object for one or more Fixed Bond Option instruments using this workflow:

1. Use fininstrument to create a FixedBondOption instrument object for one or more Fixed Bond Option instruments.

2. Use finmodel to specify a HullWhite, BlackKarasinski, BlackDermanToy, BraceGatarekMusiela, SABRBraceGatarekMusiela, CoxIngersollRoss, or LinearGaussian2F model for the FixedBondOption instrument object.

3. Choose a pricing method.

   • When using a HullWhite, BlackKarasinski, CoxIngersollRoss, or BlackDermanToy model, use finpricer to specify an IRTree pricing method for one or more FixedBondOption instruments.

   • When using a HullWhite, BlackKarasinski, BraceGatarekMusiela, SABRBraceGatarekMusiela, or LinearGaussian2F model, use finpricer to specify an IRMonteCarlo pricing method for one or more FixedBondOption instruments.

For more information on this workflow, see Get Started with Workflows Using Object-Based Framework for Pricing Financial Instruments.

For more information on the available models and pricing methods for a FixedBondOption instrument, see Choose Instruments, Models, and Pricers.

Creation

Syntax

FixedBondOptionObj = fininstrument(InstrumentType,'Strike',strike_value,'ExerciseDate',exercise_date,'Bond',bond_obj)

FixedBondOptionObj = fininstrument(___,Name,Value)

Description

FixedBondOptionObj = fininstrument(InstrumentType,'Strike',strike_value,'ExerciseDate',exercise_date,'Bond',bond_obj) creates a FixedBondOption object for one or more Fixed Bond Option instruments by specifying InstrumentType and sets the properties for the required name-value pair arguments Strike, ExerciseDate, and Bond.

The FixedBondOption instrument supports a European or American option. For more information, see More About.

FixedBondOptionObj = fininstrument(___,Name,Value) sets optional properties using additional name-value pairs in addition to the required arguments in the previous syntax. For example, FixedBondOptionObj = fininstrument("FixedBondOption",'Strike',100,'ExerciseDate',datetime(2019,1,30),'Bond',bond_obj,'OptionType','put','ExerciseStyle',"American",'Name',"fixed_bond_option") creates a FixedBondOption instrument with a strike of 100 and an American exercise. You can specify multiple name-value pair arguments.

Input Arguments

InstrumentType — Instrument type

string with value "FixedBondOption" | string array with values of "FixedBondOption" | character vector with value 'FixedBondOption' | cell array of character vectors with values of 'FixedBondOption'

Instrument type, specified as a string with the value of "FixedBondOption", a character vector with the value of 'FixedBondOption', an NINST-by-1 string array with values of "FixedBondOption", or an NINST-by-1 cell array of character vectors with values of 'FixedBondOption'.

Data Types: char | cell | string

Name-Value Arguments

Specify required and 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: FixedBondOptionObj = fininstrument("FixedBondOption",'Strike',100,'ExerciseDate',datetime(2019,1,30),'Bond',bond_obj,'OptionType','put','ExerciseStyle',"American",'Name',"fixed_bond_option")

Required FixedBondOption Name-Value Pair Arguments

Strike — Option strike value

scalar nonnegative numeric | nonnegative numeric vector

Option strike value, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Strike' and a scalar nonnegative numeric or an NINST-by-1 nonnegative numeric vector.

Data Types: double

ExerciseDate — Option exercise date

datetime array | string array | date character vector

Option exercise date, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'ExerciseDate' and a scalar or an NINST-by-1 vector using a datetime array, string array, or date character vectors.

• For a European option, there is only one ExerciseDate on the option expiry date.

• For a Bermudan option, there is a 1-by-NSTRIKES vector of exercise dates.

• For an American option, the option can be exercised between Settle of the ratecurve and the single listed ExerciseDate.

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

If you use date character vectors or strings, the format must be recognizable by datetime because the ExerciseDate property is stored as a datetime.

Data Types: double | char | string | datetime

Bond — Underlying FixedBond instrument

FixedBond object | vector of FixedBond objects

Underlying FixedBond instrument, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Bond' and a scalar FixedBond object or an NINST-by-1 vector of FixedBond objects.

Compounding = -1; 
Basis = 1;
ZeroCurve = ratecurve("zero",Settle,ZDates,ZRates,Compounding = Compounding, Basis = Basis);

Create IRTree Pricer Object

Use finpricer to create an IRTree pricer object for the CoxIngersollRoss model and use the ratecurve object for the 'DiscountCurve' name-value argument.

CIRPricer = finpricer("irtree",Model=CIRModel,DiscountCurve=ZeroCurve,Maturity=ZDates(end),NumPeriods=length(ZDates))

More About

Bond Option

A bond option gives the holder the right to sell a bond back to the issuer (put) or to redeem a bond from its current owner (call) at a specific price and on a specific date.

The FixedBondOption instrument supports two types of put and call options on bonds:

• American option — An option that you exercise any time until its expiration date.

• European option — An option that you exercise only on its expiration date.

For more information, see Bond Options.

Tips

After creating a FixedBondOption instrument object, you can use setExercisePolicy to change the size of the options. For example, if you have the following instrument:

FixedBOption = fininstrument("FixedBondOption",'ExerciseDate',datetime(2022,9,15),'Strike',98,'Bond',BondInst,'OptionType',"call",'ExerciseStyle',"European")

To modify the FixedBondOption instrument's size by changing the ExerciseStyle from "European" to "American", use setExercisePolicy:

FixedBOption = setExercisePolicy(FixedBOption,[datetime(2021,1,1) datetime(2022,1,1)],100,'American')

Version History

Introduced in R2020a

R2023b: Support for Pricing FixedBondOption Instruments Using CoxIngersollRoss Model and IRTree Pricer

You can price FixedBondOption instruments using a CoxIngersollRoss model object and an IRTree pricing method.

R2022b: Serial date numbers not recommended

Although FixedBondOption supports serial date numbers, datetime values are recommended instead. The datetime data type provides flexible date and time formats, storage out to nanosecond precision, and properties to account for time zones and daylight saving time.

To convert serial date numbers or text to datetime values, use the datetime function. For example:

t = datetime(738427.656845093,"ConvertFrom","datenum");
y = year(t)

y =

        2021

There are no plans to remove support for serial date number inputs.
