Syntax

[Delta,Gamma,Vega,Price] = bdtsens(BDTTree,InstSet)
[Delta,Gamma,Vega,Price] = bdtsens(___,Options)

Description

[Delta,Gamma,Vega,Price] = bdtsens(BDTTree,InstSet) computes instrument sensitivities and prices for instruments using an interest-rate tree created with the bdttree function. All sensitivities are returned as dollar sensitivities. To find the per-dollar sensitivities, divide by the respective instrument price.

bdtsens handles instrument types: 'Bond', 'CashFlow', 'OptBond', 'OptEmBond', 'OptEmBond', 'OptFloat', 'OptEmFloat', 'Fixed', 'Float', 'Cap', 'Floor', 'RangeFloat', 'Swap'. See instadd for information on instrument types.

example

[Delta,Gamma,Vega,Price] = bdtsens(___,Options) adds an optional input argument for Options.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Interest-rate tree structure, specified by using bdttree.

Data Types: struct

Instrument variable containing a collection of NINST instruments, specified using instadd. Instruments are categorized by type; each type can have different data fields. The stored data field is a row vector or character vector for each instrument.

Data Types: struct

(Optional) Derivatives pricing options structure, created using derivset.

Data Types: struct

Output Arguments

collapse all

Rate of change of instruments prices with respect to changes in the interest rate, returned as a NINST-by-1 vector of deltas. Delta is computed by finite differences in calls to bdttree.

Note

Delta is calculated based on yield shifts of 100 basis points.

Rate of change of instruments deltas with respect to changes in the interest rate, returned as a NINST-by-1 vector of gammas. Gamma is computed by finite differences in calls to bdttree.

Note

Gamma is calculated based on yield shifts of 100 basis points.

Rate of change of instruments prices with respect to changes in the volatility, returned as a NINST-by-1 vector of vegas. Volatility is σ(t,T) of the interest rate. Vega is computed by finite differences in calls to bdttree. For information on the volatility process, see bdtvolspec.

Note

Vega is calculated based on 1% shift in the volatility process.

Price of each instrument, returned as a NINST-by-1 vector. The prices are computed by backward dynamic programming on the interest-rate tree. If an instrument cannot be priced, a NaN is returned in that entry.
