Syntax

outRates = forwardrates(obj,startDates,endDates)
outRates = forwardrates(___,inpComp,inpBasis)

Description

example

outRates = forwardrates(obj,startDates,endDates) calculates forward rates for the ratecurve object (obj) based on the startDates and endDates.

example

outRates = forwardrates(___,inpComp,inpBasis) optionally specifies the input compounding frequency (inpComp) and the input day-count basis (inpBasis) in addition to any of the input argument combinations in the previous syntax.

Create a ratecurve object using ratecurve. 

Settle = datetime(2019,9,15);
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,'Compounding',2,'Basis',5,'InterpMethod',"pchip",'ShortExtrapMethod',"linear",'LongExtrapMethod',"pchip")
myRC = 
  ratecurve with properties:

                 Type: "zero"
          Compounding: 2
                Basis: 5
                Dates: [10x1 datetime]
                Rates: [10x1 double]
               Settle: 15-Sep-2019
         InterpMethod: "pchip"
    ShortExtrapMethod: "linear"
     LongExtrapMethod: "pchip"

Compute the forward rates using forwardrates.

outRates = forwardrates(myRC,datetime(2019,12,15),datetime(2021,9,15),6,7)
outRates = 0.0062

Input Arguments

collapse all

ratecurve object, specified using a previously created ratecurve object.

Data Types: object

Start dates of the interval to discount over, specified as a scalar or an NPOINTS-by-1 vector of datetimes, serial date numbers, cell array of date character vectors, or string array. startDates must be earlier than endDates.

Data Types: string | datetime | double | char | cell

Maturity dates ending the interval to discount over, specified as a scalar or an NPOINTS-by-1 vector of datetimes, serial date numbers, cell array of date character vectors, or string array.

Data Types: string | datetime | double | char | cell

(Optional) Input compounding frequency, specified as a scalar numeric using one of the supported values: –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 12.

Data Types: double

(Optional) Input day-count basis, specified as a scalar integer.
