Description

Create and price an OISFuture instrument object for one or more one-month or three-month future instruments using this workflow:

  1. Use fininstrument to create an OISFuture instrument object for one or more OIS Future instruments.

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

  3. Use finpricer to specify a Discount pricing method for one or more OISFuture instruments.

Create an OISFuture instrument object for one or more OIS futures instruments to use in curve construction using this workflow:

  1. Use fininstrument to create an OISFuture instrument object for one or more OIS future instruments.

  2. Use irbootstrap to create an interest-rate curve (ratecurve) for one or more OISFuture instruments.

Creation

Syntax

OISFutureInst = fininstrument(InstrumentType,QuotedPrice=OIS_quoted_price,Maturity=maturity_date,StartDate=start_date)
OISFutureInst = fininstrument(___,Name=Value)

Description

OISFutureInst = fininstrument(InstrumentType,QuotedPrice=OIS_quoted_price,Maturity=maturity_date,StartDate=start_date) creates an OISFuture instrument object for one or more OIS future instruments by specifying InstrumentType, QuotedPrice, Maturity, and StartDate.

The OISFuture instrument supports many alternative reference rate (ARR) securities that are compliant with standards from the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO). For example, ARRs like SOFR, EONIA, SONIA, SARON, and TONAR focus on risk-free rate or near risk-free rates based on transactions of overnight funding.

example

OISFutureInst = fininstrument(___,Name=Value) sets optional properties using additional name-value arguments in addition to the required arguments in the previous syntax. For example, OISFutureInst = fininstrument("OISFuture",QuotedPrice=99.5,Maturity=datetime(2022,12,15),StartDate=datetime(2022,9,15)) creates an OIS future instrument. You can specify multiple name-value arguments.

example

Input Arguments

expand all

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

Data Types: char | cell | string

Name-Value Arguments

expand all

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.

Example: OISFutureInst = fininstrument("OISFuture",QuotedPrice=99.5,Maturity=datetime(2022,12,15),StartDate=datetime(2022,9,15))

Required OISFuture Name-Value Arguments

expand all

OIS future quoted price, specified as QuotedPrice and a scalar numeric or an NINST-by-1 numeric vector.

Data Types: double

OIS future maturity date, specified as Maturity and a scalar or an NINST-by-1 vector using a datetime array, string array, or date character vectors.

To support existing code, OISFuture 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.

OIS future underlying rate end date, specified as StartDate and a scalar or an NINST-by-1 vector using a datetime array, string array, or date character vectors.

To support existing code, OISFuture 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 StartDate property is stored as a datetime.

Optional OISFuture Name-Value Arguments

expand all

Computation method, specified as Method and a scalar character vector or string or an NINST-by-1 cell array of character vectors or string array.

Data Types: cell | char | string

Day count basis, specified as 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

Notional principal amount, specified as Notional and a scalar numeric or an NINST-by-1 numeric vector.

Data Types: double

Business day convention for cash flow dates, specified as BusinessDayConvention and a scalar string or character vector or an NINST-by-1 cell array of character vectors or string array. The selection for business day convention determines how nonbusiness days are treated. Nonbusiness days are defined as weekends plus any other date that businesses are not open (for example, statutory holidays). Values are:

  • "actual" — Nonbusiness days are effectively ignored. Cash flows that fall on nonbusiness days are assumed to be distributed on the actual date.

  • "follow" — Cash flows that fall on a nonbusiness day are assumed to be distributed on the following business day.

  • "modifiedfollow" — Cash flows that fall on a nonbusiness day are assumed to be distributed on the following business day. However, if the following business day is in a different month, the previous business day is adopted instead.

  • "previous" — Cash flows that fall on a nonbusiness day are assumed to be distributed on the previous business day.

  • "modifiedprevious" — Cash flows that fall on a nonbusiness day are assumed to be distributed on the previous business day. However, if the previous business day is in a different month, the following business day is adopted instead.

Data Types: char | cell | string

Holidays used in computing business days, specified as Holidays and dates using an NINST-by-1 vector of a datetime array, string array, or date character vectors. For example:

H = holidays(datetime('today'),datetime(2025,12,15));
OISFutureInst = fininstrument("OISFuture",Maturity=datetime(2022,12,15),QuotedPrice=99.5,ExerciseDate=datetime(2022,6,15),Holidays=H)

To support existing code, OISFuture also accepts serial date numbers as inputs, but they are not recommended.

Projection curve used to price OIS future, specified as ProjectionCurve and a scalar ratecurve object or an NINST-by-1 vector of ratecurve objects. These objects must be created using ratecurve. Use this optional input if the forward curve is different from the discount curve.

Data Types: object

Historical fixing for OISFuture, specified as HistoricalFixing and a timetable.

Data Types: timetable

User-defined name for the instrument, specified as 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
