Creation
Syntax
Description
creates a ZCInflationCap
= fininstrument(InstrumentType
,Maturity
=maturity_date,Notional
=notional_value,Strike
=strike_value)ZeroCouponInflationCap
object for one or more
Zero-Coupon Inflation Cap instruments by specifying
InstrumentType
and sets the properties for the required name-value arguments
Maturity
, Notional
, and
Strike
.
sets optional properties using name-value arguments in addition to the
required arguments in the previous syntax. For example,
ZCInflationCap
= fininstrument(___,Name=Value
)ZCInflationCap =
fininstrument("ZeroCouponInflationCap",Maturity=datetime(2033,10,1),Notional=1000,Strike=0.05,Basis=4)
creates a ZeroCouponInflationCap
instrument with a day
count basis of 4
. You can specify multiple name-value
arguments, in any order.

To price a zero coupon inflation-indexed cap using a JarrowYildirim
and a
JarrowYildirim
pricing method:
where:
N is the notional value.
k is the fixed annual inflation rate cap or floor strike.
K = 1 + k is one plus the cap or floor strike.
M is the maturity in years.
TM is the maturity date.
I(t) is the inflation index at t.
I0 is the issue index.
is the standard normal cumulative distribution.
is the zero coupon price (where n is nominal and r is real).
is the nominal rate volatility (positive constant).
is the real rate volatility (positive constant).
is the inflation index volatility (positive constant).
is the real rate and inflation index correlation.
is the nominal rate and inflation index correlation.
is the nominal rate and real rate correlation.
, are the positive constants.
