fitSvensson

Fit Svensson model to bond market data

Since R2020a

Description

example

outCurve = fitSvensson(Settle,Instruments,CleanPrice) fits a Svensson model to bond data.

After creating a parametercurve object for outCurve, you can use the associated object functions discountfactors, zerorates, and forwardrates.

example

outCurve = fitSvensson(___,Name=Value) fits a Svensson model to bond data using optional name-value arguments for Basis, x0, lb, and ub.

Examples

Define the bond data and use fininstrument to create FixedBond instrument objects.

 Settle = datetime(2017,9,15);
  Maturity = [datetime(2019,9,15);datetime(2021,9,15);...
      datetime(2023,9,15);datetime(2026,9,7);...
      datetime(2035,9,15);datetime(2047,9,15)];
  
  CleanPrice = [100.1;100.1;100.8;96.6;103.3;96.3];
  CouponRate = [0.0400;0.0425;0.0450;0.0400;0.0500;0.0425];
 
nInst = numel(CouponRate);
Bonds(nInst,1) = fininstrument.FinInstrument;
for ii=1:nInst
    Bonds(ii) = fininstrument("FixedBond",'Maturity',Maturity(ii),...
        'CouponRate',CouponRate(ii));
end

Use fitSvensson to create a parametercurve object.

SvenModel = fitSvensson(Settle,Bonds,CleanPrice)
Local minimum possible.

lsqnonlin stopped because the final change in the sum of squares relative to 
its initial value is less than the value of the function tolerance.
SvenModel = 
  parametercurve with properties:

              Type: "zero"
            Settle: 15-Sep-2017
       Compounding: -1
             Basis: 0
    FunctionHandle: @(t)fitF(Params,t)
        Parameters: [3.3048e-08 0.0197 0.0624 0.1391 1.3563 11.7741]

Input Arguments

collapse all

Settlement date, specified as a scalar datetime, string, or date character vector.

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

Bond instrument objects, specified as a scalar bond object or an array of bond instrument objects using FixedBond.

Data Types: object

Observed market prices, specified as a vector.

Data Types: double

Name-Value Arguments

Specify 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: NSModel = fitSvensson(Settle,Bonds,CleanPrice,Basis=4)

Since R2024a

Day count basis, specified as Basis and a scalar or a NINST-by-1 matrix.
