cdsoptprice

Price payer and receiver credit default swap options

Syntax

[Payer,Receiver] = cdsoptprice(ZeroData,ProbData,Settle,OptionMaturity,CDSMaturity,Strike,SpreadVol)

[Payer,Receiver] = cdsoptprice(___,Name,Value)

Description

[Payer,Receiver] = cdsoptprice(ZeroData,ProbData,Settle,OptionMaturity,CDSMaturity,Strike,SpreadVol) computes the price of payer and receiver credit default swap options.

Note

Alternatively, you can use the CDSOption object to price credit default swap options. For more information, see Get Started with Workflows Using Object-Based Framework for Pricing Financial Instruments.

[Payer,Receiver] = cdsoptprice(___,Name,Value) computes the price of payer and receiver credit default swap options with additional options specified by one or more Name,Value pair arguments.

The selection for business day convention determines how non-business days are treated. Non-business days are defined as weekends plus any other date that businesses are not open (e.g. statutory holidays). Values are:

• actual — Non-business days are effectively ignored. Cash flows that fall on non-business days are assumed to be distributed on the actual date.

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

• modifiedfollow — Cash flows that fall on a non-business 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 non-business day are assumed to be distributed on the previous business day.

• modifiedprevious — Cash flows that fall on a non-business 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.

More About

Credit Default Swap Option

A credit default swap (CDS) option, or credit default swaption, is a contract that provides the option holder with the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a credit default swap in the future.

CDS options can either be payer swaptions or receiver swaptions. In a payer swaption, the option holder has the right to enter into a CDS in which they are paying premiums and in a receiver swaption, the option holder is receiving premiums.

Algorithms

The payer and receiver credit default swap options are computed using the Black's model as described in O'Kane [1]:

$$V_{Pay(Knockout)}=RPV01(t,t_E,T)(F\Phi (d_1)-K\Phi (d_2))$$

$$V_{Rec(Knockout)}=RPV01(t,t_E,T)(K\Phi (-d_2)-F\Phi (-d_1))$$

$$d_1=\frac{\ln \left(\frac{F}{K}\right)+\frac{1}{2}{\sigma }^2(t_E-t)}{\sigma \sqrt{t_E-t}}$$

$$d_2=d_1-\sigma \sqrt{t_E-t}$$

$$V_{Pay(Non-Knockout)}=V_{Pay(Knockout)}+FEP$$

$$V_{Pay(Non-Knockout)}=V_{Rec(Knockout)}$$

where

RPV01 is the risky present value of a basis point (see cdsrpv01).

Φ is the normal cumulative distribution function.

σ is the spread volatility.

t is the valuation date.

t_E is the option expiry date.

T is the CDS maturity date.

F is the forward spread (from option expiry to CDS maturity).

K is the strike spread.

FEP is the front-end protection (from option initiation to option expiry).
