Syntax

InstSet = instcf(CFlowAmounts,CFlowDates,Settle)
InstSet = instcf(InstSet,CFlowAmounts,CFlowDates,Settle)
InstSet = instcf(___,Basis)
[FieldList,ClassList,TypeString] = instcf

Description

InstSet = instcf(CFlowAmounts,CFlowDates,Settle) creates a new instrument set containing CashFlow instruments.

example

InstSet = instcf(InstSet,CFlowAmounts,CFlowDates,Settle) adds CashFlow instruments to an existing instrument set.

example

InstSet = instcf(___,Basis) adds an optional argument.

example

[FieldList,ClassList,TypeString] = instcf lists field meta-data for the CashFlow instrument.

Create a new instrument variable with the following information:

CFlowAmounts =[5 NaN 5.5 105; 5 0 6 105];
CFlowDates = [732678, NaN, 733408,733774; 
              732678, 733034, 733408, 734774];
Settle= 'Jan-1-2015';
Basis = 1;

Create the new cash flow instruments. 

InstSet = instcf(CFlowAmounts,CFlowDates,Settle,Basis)
InstSet = struct with fields:
        FinObj: 'Instruments'
    IndexTable: [1x1 struct]
          Type: {'CashFlow'}
     FieldName: {{4x1 cell}}
    FieldClass: {{4x1 cell}}
     FieldData: {{4x1 cell}}

Display the cash flow instruments.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Instrument variable, specified only when adding CashFlow instruments to an existing instrument set. For more information on the InstSet variable, see instget.

Data Types: struct

Cash flow amounts, specified as a number of instruments (NINST) by maximum number of cash flows (MOSTCFS) matrix of cash flow amounts. Each row is a list of cash flow values for one instrument. If an instrument has fewer than MOSTCFS cash flows, the end of the row is padded with NaNs.

Data Types: double

Cash flow dates, specified as an NINST-by-MOSTCFS vector using serial date numbers. Each entry contains the date of the corresponding cash flow in CFlowAmounts.

Data Types: double

Settlement date on which the cash flows are priced, specified as a scalar serial date number or date character vector.

Data Types: double | char

(Optional) Day-count basis, specified as scalar or an NINST-by-1 vector.

  • 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

Data Types: double

Output Arguments

collapse all

Variable containing a collection of instruments, returned as a structure. Instruments are broken down by type and each type can have different data fields. Each stored data field has a row vector or string for each instrument. For more information on the InstSet variable, see instget.

Name of each data field for a CashFlow instrument, returned as an NFIELDS-by-1 cell array of character vectors.

Data class for each field, returned as an NFIELDS-by-1 cell array of character vectors. The class determines how arguments are parsed. Valid character vectors are 'dble', 'date', and 'char'.

Type of instrument, returned as a character vector. For a CashFlow instrument, TypeString = 'CashFlow'.
