This example shows how to price a 3-year put swaption using an HW interest-rate tree with the following data.

Rates =0.075 * ones (10,1);   
Compounding = 2;    
StartDates = ['jan-1-2007';'jul-1-2007';'jan-1-2008';'jul-1-2008';'jan-1-2009';...

ValuationDate = 'jan-1-2007';      

% define the RatesSpec
RateSpec = intenvset('Rates', Rates, 'StartDates', StartDates, 'EndDates',...

% use HWVolSpec to compute the interest-rate volatility
Volatility = 0.05*ones(10,1);

Price a 3-Year Put Swaption with Receiving and Paying Legs Using an HW Interest-Rate Tree

This example shows how to price a 3-year put swaption with receiving and paying legs using an HW interest-rate tree with the following data.

Rates =0.075 * ones (10,1);   
Compounding = 2;    
StartDates = ['jan-1-2007';'jul-1-2007';'jan-1-2008';'jul-1-2008';'jan-1-2009';...

ValuationDate = 'jan-1-2007';

Define the RatesSpec.

RateSpec = intenvset('Rates', Rates, 'StartDates', StartDates, 'EndDates',...
EndDates, 'Compounding', Compounding);

Use HWVolSpec to compute the interest-rate volatility.

Volatility = 0.05*ones(10,1);
AlphaCurve = 0.01*ones(10,1);
AlphaDates = EndDates;
HWVolSpec = hwvolspec(ValuationDate, EndDates, Volatility, AlphaDates, AlphaCurve);

Use HWTimeSpec to specify the structure of the time layout for an HW interest-rate tree.

HWTimeSpec = hwtimespec(ValuationDate, EndDates, Compounding);

Build the HW tree.

HWTree = hwtree(HWVolSpec, RateSpec, HWTimeSpec);

Use the following arguments for a 1-year swap and 3-year swaption

ExerciseDates = 'jan-1-2010';
SwapSettlement = ExerciseDates;
SwapMaturity   = 'jan-1-2012';
Spread = 0;
SwapReset = [2 2]; % 1st column represents receiving leg, 2nd column represents paying leg 
Principal = 100;
OptSpec = 'put';  
Strike= 0.04;
Basis= [1 3];    % 1st column represents receiving leg, 2nd column represents paying leg

Price the swaption.

PriceSwaption = swaptionbyhw(HWTree, OptSpec, Strike, ExerciseDates, ...
Spread, SwapSettlement, SwapMaturity,'SwapReset', SwapReset, ...
'Basis', Basis,'Principal', Principal)

PriceSwaption = 2.9201

Input Arguments

HWTree — Interest-rate tree structure

structure

Interest-rate tree structure, specified by using hwtree.

Data Types: struct

OptSpec — Definition of option

character vector with values 'call' or 'put' | cell array of character vector with values 'call' or 'put'

Definition of the option as 'call' or 'put', specified as a NINST-by-1 cell array of character vectors. For more information, see More About.

Data Types: char | cell

Strike — Strike swap rate values

decimal

Strike swap rate values, specified as a NINST-by-1 vector.

Data Types: double

ExerciseDates — Exercise dates for swaption

serial date number | date character vector | cell array of date character vectors

Exercise dates for the swaption, specified as a NINST-by-1 vector or NINST-by-2 using serial date numbers or date character vectors, depending on the option type.

• For a European option, ExerciseDates are a NINST-by-1 vector of exercise dates. Each row is the schedule for one option. When using a European option, there is only one ExerciseDate on the option expiry date.

• For an American option, ExerciseDates are a NINST-by-2 vector of exercise date boundaries. For each instrument, the option can be exercised on any coupon date between or including the pair of dates on that row. If only one non-NaN date is listed, or if ExerciseDates is NINST-by-1, the option can be exercised between the ValuationDate of the tree and the single listed ExerciseDate.

Data Types: double | char | cell

Spread — Number of basis points over reference rate

numeric

Number of basis points over the reference rate, specified as a NINST-by-1 vector.

Data Types: double

Settle — Settlement date

serial date number | date character vector | cell array of date character vectors

Settlement date (representing the settle date for each swap), specified as a NINST-by-1 vector of serial date numbers or date character vectors. The Settle date for every swaption is set to the ValuationDate of the HW tree. The swap argument Settle is ignored. The underlying swap starts at the maturity of the swaption.

Data Types: double | char

More About

Call Swaption

A call swaption or payer swaption allows the option buyer to enter into an interest-rate swap in which the buyer of the option pays the fixed rate and receives the floating rate.

Put Swaption

A put swaption or receiver swaption allows the option buyer to enter into an interest-rate swap in which the buyer of the option receives the fixed rate and pays the floating rate.
