YearYearInflationSwap

YearYearInflationSwap instrument object

Since R2021a

Description

Create and price a YearYearInflationSwap instrument object for one or more Year-on-Year Inflation-Indexed Swap instruments using either of these two workflows.

When using an Inflation pricing method:

  1. Use fininstrument to create a YearYearInflationSwap instrument object for one or more Year-on-Year Inflation-Indexed Swap instruments.

  2. Use ratecurve to specify an interest-rate model for the YearYearInflationSwap instrument object.

  3. Use inflationcurve to specify an inflation curve model.

  4. Use finpricer to specify an Inflation pricing method for one or more YearYearInflationSwap instruments.

  5. Use inflationCashflows to compute cash flows for each one of the YearYearInflationSwap instruments.

When using an JarrowYildirim pricing method:

  1. Use fininstrument to create a YearYearInflationSwap instrument object for one or more Year-on-Year Inflation-Indexed Swap instruments and specify the IssueIndex name-value argument.

  2. Use finmodel to specify a JarrowYildirim model object for the YearYearInflationSwap instrument object.

  3. Use ratecurve to specify a NominalCurve interest-rate model for the YearYearInflationSwap instrument object.

  4. Use ratecurve to specify a RealCurve interest-rate model for the YearYearInflationSwap instrument object.

  5. Use finpricer to specify a JarrowYildirim pricing method for one or more YearYearInflationSwap instruments.

Creation

Description

example

YYInflationSwap = fininstrument(InstrumentType,'Maturity',maturity_date,'Notional',notional_value,'FixedInflationRate',inflation_rate) creates a YearYearInflationSwap object for one or more Year-on-Year Inflation-Indexed Swap instruments by specifying InstrumentType and sets the properties for the required name-value pair arguments Maturity, Notional, and FixedInflationRate.

example

YYInflationSwap = fininstrument(___,Name,Value) sets optional properties using additional name-value pairs in addition to the required arguments in the previous syntax. For example, YYInflationSwap = fininstrument("YearYearInflationSwap",'Maturity',Maturity,'FixedInflationRate',FixedInflationRate,'Notional',Notional,'Basis',4,'Lag',4) creates a YearYearInflationSwap option. You can specify multiple name-value pair arguments.

Input Arguments

expand all

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

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: YYInflationSwap = fininstrument("YearYearInflationSwap",'Maturity',Maturity,'FixedInflationRate',FixedInflationRate,'Notional',Notional,'Basis',4,'Lag',4)

Required YearYearInflationSwap Name-Value Pair Arguments

expand all

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

To support existing code, YearYearInflationSwap 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 Maturity property is stored as a datetime.

Notional amount, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Notional' and a scalar numeric or an NINST-by-1 numeric vector.

Data Types: double

Inflation rate, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'FixedInflationRate' and a scalar decimal or an NINST-by-1 vector of decimals.

Data Types: double

Optional YearYearInflationSwap Name-Value Pair Arguments

expand all

Day count basis for the fixed leg, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Basis' and a scalar integer or an NINST-by-1 vector of integers for the following:

  • 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

Indexation lag in months, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Lag' and a scalar numeric or an NINST-by-1 numeric vector.

Data Types: double

Inflation index at issue date, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'IssueIndex' and a scalar numeric or an NINST-by-1 vector of numeric values. For example, the IssueIndex for the inflation index depends on the country and can be from any of the following:

  • US — CPI (US Consumer Price Index Urban Consumers (CPI-U))

  • UK — RPI (UK Retail Price Index (RPI)

  • Canada — CPI (Canada All-Items Consumer Price Index)

  • European Union (EU) — HICP-ex Tobacco (EU Harmonized Indices of Consumer Prices (HICP) ex Tobacco)

  • Japan — CPI (Japan Consumer Price Index)

  • China — CPI (China Consumer Price Index)

Note

  • If you specify an Inflation pricing method with an YearYearInflationSwap instrument and you have specified an IssueIndex value, the Inflation pricing method overrides the index value (InflationIndexValues) for the issue date (Dates) in the inflationcurve model object.

  • If you use the JarrowYildirim pricing method with a YearYearInflationSwap instrument, you must specify an IssueIndex value. The only exception to this requirement that you must specify an IssueIndex value is when the NominalCurve.Settle date of the JarrowYildirim pricer is exactly one year from the next annual payoff date of the YearYearInflationSwap instrument.

Data Types: double

User-defined name for the instrument, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Name' and a scalar string or character vector or an NINST-by-1 cell array of character vectors or string array.

Data Types: char | cell | string

  • If you specify an Inflation pricing method with an ZeroCouponInflationSwap instrument and you have specified an IssueIndex value, the Inflation pricing method overrides the index value for the issue date in the inflationcurve model object.

Algorithms

To price a year-on-year inflation-indexed swap (YYIIS), use an inflation curve and a nominal discount curve (model-free approach), where the cash flows are discounted using the nominal discount curve.

Cash flows for each year t={T1,...,Ti,...,TM}:FixedLeg=N×k×ΔtfixedInflationLeg=N×[I(Ti)I(Ti1)1]×Δtinflation

where

  • N is the reference notional of the swap.

  • k is the fixed inflation rate.

  • Δtfixed is the fixed leg fraction for the period.

  • Δtinflation is the inflation leg fraction for the period.

  • I(Ti) is the inflation index at the period end date with some lag (for example, three months).

  • I(Ti-1) is the inflation index at the start date with some lag (for example, three months).

To price a year-on-year inflation-indexed swap (YYIIS) using the JarrowYildirim and a JarrowYildirim pricing method:

YYIISFixedLeg(t,T,K,Ψ,N)=NKψι(t)Pn(t,Tι(t))+NKi=ι(t)+1MψiPn(t,Ti)YYIISInflationLeg(t,T,Ψ,N)=Nψι(t)[I(t)I(Tι(t)1)Pr(t,Tι(t))Pn(t,Tι(t))]+Ni=ι(t)+1Mψi[Pn(t,Ti1)Pr(t,Ti)Pr(t,Ti1)eC(t,Ti1,Ti)Pn(t,Ti)]C(t,Ti1,Ti)=σrBr(Ti1,Ti)×[Br(t,Ti1){ρr,IσIσrBr(t,Ti1)2+ρn,rσnan+ar[1+arBn(t,Ti1)]}ρn,rσnan+arBn(t,Ti1)]Br(Ti1,Ti)=1ear(TiTi1)arBr(t,Ti1)=1ear(Ti1t)arBn(t,Ti1)=1ean(Ti1t)an

where:

  • N is the notional value.

  • K is the fixed annual inflation rate.

  • T:={T1,...,TM} is the end dates for each period.

  • ψi is the year fraction between Ti-1 and Ti.

  • Ψ:={ψ1,...,ψM} is the year fractions for each period.

  • ι(t)=min{i:Ti>t} is the period index so that Tι(t)1t<Tι(t).

  • M is the maturity in years.

  • I(t) is the inflation index at t.

  • I(Tι(t)1) is the issue index at Tι(t)1.

  • Px(t,T) is the zero coupon price (where n is nominal and r is real).

  • σn is the nominal rate volatility (positive constant).

  • σr is the real rate volatility (positive constant).

  • σI is the inflation index volatility (positive constant).

  • ρr,I is the real rate and inflation index correlation.

  • ρn,r is the nominal rate and real rate correlation.

  • an, ar are the positive constants.
