Syntax

[Price,PriceTree] = bkprice(BKTree,InstSet)
[Price,PriceTree] = bkprice(___,Options)

Description

[Price,PriceTree] = bkprice(BKTree,InstSet) computes arbitrage-free prices for instruments using an interest-rate tree created with bktree. All instruments contained in a financial instrument variable, InstSet, are priced.

bkprice handles instrument types: 'Bond', 'CashFlow', 'OptBond', 'OptEmBond', 'OptEmBond', 'OptFloat', 'OptEmFloat', 'Fixed', 'Float', 'Cap', 'Floor', 'RangeFloat', 'Swap'. See instadd to construct defined types.

example

[Price,PriceTree] = bkprice(___,Options) adds an optional input argument for Options.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Interest-rate tree structure, specified by using bktree.

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

Price for each instrument at time 0, 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.

Related single-type pricing functions are:

  • bondbybk — Price a bond from a Black-Karasinski tree.

  • capbybk — Price a cap from a Black-Karasinski tree.

  • cfbybk — Price an arbitrary set of cash flows from a Black-Karasinski tree.

  • fixedbybk — Price a fixed-rate note from a Black-Karasinski tree.

  • floatbybk — Price a floating-rate note from a Black-Karasinski tree.

  • floorbybk — Price a floor from a Black-Karasinski tree.

  • optbndbybk — Price a bond option from a Black-Karasinski tree.

  • optembndbybk — Price a bond with embedded option by a Black-Karasinski tree.

  • optfloatbybk — Price a floating-rate note with an option from a Black-Karasinski tree.

  • optemfloatbybk — Price a floating-rate note with an embedded option from a Black-Karasinski tree.

  • rangefloatbybk — Price range floating note from a Black-Karasinski tree.

  • swapbybk — Price a swap from a Black-Karasinski tree.

  • swaptionbybk — Price a swaption from a Black-Karasinski tree.

Tree structure of instrument prices, returned as a MATLAB® structure of trees containing vectors of instrument prices and accrued interest, and a vector of observation times for each node. Within PriceTree:

  • PriceTree.PTree contains the clean prices.

  • PriceTree.AITree contains the accrued interest.

  • PriceTree.tObs contains the observation times.

  • PriceTree.Connect contains the connectivity vectors. Each element in the cell array describes how nodes in that level connect to the next. For a given tree level, there are NumNodes elements in the vector, and they contain the index of the node at the next level that the middle branch connects to. Subtracting 1 from that value indicates where the up-branch connects to, and adding 1 indicated where the down branch connects to.

  • PriceTree.Probs contains the probability arrays. Each element of the cell array contains the up, middle, and down transition probabilities for each node of the level.
