This example shows the workflow to compute the par swap rate for a vanilla Swap instrument when you use a ratecurve and a Discount pricing method.

Create ratecurve Object

Create a ratecurve object using ratecurve for the underlying interest-rate curve for the Swap instrument. 

Settle = datetime(2018,3,15);
Type = 'zero';
ZeroTimes = [calmonths(6) calyears([1 2 3 4 5 7 10 20 30])]';
ZeroRates = [0.0052 0.0055 0.0061 0.0073 0.0094 0.0119 0.0168 0.0222 0.0293 0.0307]';
ZeroDates = Settle + ZeroTimes;
 
myRC = ratecurve('zero',Settle,ZeroDates,ZeroRates)
myRC = 
  ratecurve with properties:

                 Type: "zero"
          Compounding: -1
                Basis: 0
                Dates: [10x1 datetime]
                Rates: [10x1 double]
               Settle: 15-Mar-2018
         InterpMethod: "linear"
    ShortExtrapMethod: "next"
     LongExtrapMethod: "previous"

Create Swap Instrument Object

Use fininstrument to create a vanilla Swap instrument object.

Swap = fininstrument("Swap",'Maturity',datetime(2020,9,15),'LegRate',[0.022 0.019 ],'LegType',["float","fixed"],'ProjectionCurve',myRC,'Name',"swap_instrument")
Swap = 
  Swap with properties:

                     LegRate: [0.0220 0.0190]
                     LegType: ["float"    "fixed"]
                       Reset: [2 2]
                       Basis: [0 0]
                    Notional: 100
          LatestFloatingRate: [NaN NaN]
                 ResetOffset: [0 0]
    DaycountAdjustedCashFlow: [0 0]
             ProjectionCurve: [1x2 ratecurve]
       BusinessDayConvention: ["actual"    "actual"]
                    Holidays: NaT
                EndMonthRule: [1 1]
                   StartDate: NaT
                    Maturity: 15-Sep-2020
                        Name: "swap_instrument"

Create Discount Pricer Object

Use finpricer to create a Discount pricer object and use the ratecurve object for the 'DiscountCurve' name-value pair argument.

outPricer = finpricer("Discount", 'DiscountCurve',myRC)
outPricer = 
  Discount with properties:

    DiscountCurve: [1x1 ratecurve]

Price Swap Instrument

Use price to compute the price and sensitivities for the vanilla Swap instrument.

[Price, outPR] = price(outPricer, Swap,["all"])
Price = 2.4066

outPR = 
  priceresult with properties:

       Results: [1x2 table]
    PricerData: []


outPR.Results
ans=1×2 table
    Price       DV01   
    ______    _________

    2.4066    -0.024499

Compute the par swap rate using parswaprate.

outRate = parswaprate(Swap,myRC)
outRate = 0.0287

This example shows the workflow to compute the par swap rate for multiple vanilla Swap instruments when you use a ratecurve and a Discount pricing method.

Create ratecurve Object

Create a ratecurve object using ratecurve for the underlying interest-rate curve for the Swap instrument. 

Settle = datetime(2019,4,15);
Type = 'zero';
ZeroTimes = [calmonths(6) calyears([1 2 3 4 5 7 10 20 30])]';
ZeroRates = [0.0052 0.0055 0.0061 0.0073 0.0094 0.0119 0.0168 0.0222 0.0293 0.0307]';
ZeroDates = Settle + ZeroTimes;
 
myRC = ratecurve('zero',Settle,ZeroDates,ZeroRates)
myRC = 
  ratecurve with properties:

                 Type: "zero"
          Compounding: -1
                Basis: 0
                Dates: [10x1 datetime]
                Rates: [10x1 double]

Compute the par swap rate for each of the three Swap instruments using parswaprate.

outRate = parswaprate(Swap(1),myRC)
outRate = 0.0275

outRate = parswaprate(Swap(2),myRC)
outRate = 0.0281

outRate = parswaprate(Swap(3),myRC)
outRate = 0.0338

Input Arguments

collapse all

Swap object, specified using a previously created Swap instrument object.

Note

If the SwapObject is a vector of instruments, you must use parswaprate separately with each instrument.

Data Types: object

Rate curve, specified as a previously created ratecurve object.

Data Types: object

Output Arguments

collapse all

Par swap rate, returned as a decimal.

More About

Par Swap Rate

The par swap rate is the rate that renders a swap value equal to zero.

In other words, the par swap rate is the value of the fixed rate that gives the swap a zero present value, or the fixed rate that makes the value of both legs equal (that is, the value of the fixed leg and the value of the floating leg).
