Syntax

RPV01 = cdsrpv01(ZeroData,ProbData,Settle,Maturity)

Description

example

RPV01 = cdsrpv01(ZeroData,ProbData,Settle,Maturity) computes the risky present value of a basis point (RPV01) for a credit default swap (CDS).

example

RPV01 = cdsrpv01(___,Name,Value) adds optional name-value arguments.

example

[RPV01,PaymentDates,PaymentTimes] = cdsrpv01(ZeroData,ProbData,Settle,Maturity) computes the risky present value of a basis point (RPV01), PaymentDates, and PaymentTimes for a credit default swap (CDS).

example

[RPV01,PaymentDates,PaymentTimes] = cdsrpv01(___,Name,Value) computes the risky present value of a basis point (RPV01), PaymentDates, and PaymentTimes for a credit default swap (CDS) using optional name-value pair arguments.

Open Live Script

Calculate the RPV01 value, given the following specification for a CDS. 

Settle = '17-Jul-2009'; % valuation date for the CDS
Zero_Time = [.5 1 2 3 4 5]';
Zero_Rate = [1.35 1.43 1.9 2.47 2.936 3.311]'/100;
Zero_Dates = daysadd(Settle,360*Zero_Time,1);
ZeroData = [Zero_Dates Zero_Rate];
ProbData = [daysadd(datenum(Settle),360,1), 0.0247];
Maturity = datetime(2010,9,20);

RPV01 = cdsrpv01(ZeroData,ProbData,Settle,Maturity)
RPV01 = 1.1651

Input Arguments

collapse all

Dates and zero rates, specified by an M-by-2 vector of dates, using a serial date number format, and zero rates or the IRDataCurve object for zero rates. For more information on an IRDataCurve (Financial Instruments Toolbox) object, see Creating an IRDataCurve Object (Financial Instruments Toolbox).

Data Types: object | double

Dates and default probabilities, specified by a P-by-2 array, where dates use a serial date number format.

Data Types: double

Settlement date, specified by a scalar datetime, string, or date character vector. This must be earlier than or equal to the dates in Maturity.

To support existing code, cdsrpv01 also accepts serial date numbers as inputs, but they are not recommended.

Data Types: char | string | datetime

CDS maturity date, specified by an N-by-1 vector using a datetime array, string array, or date character vectors. The CDS premium payment dates occur at regular intervals, and the last payment occurs on these maturity dates.

To support existing code, cdsrpv01 also accepts serial date numbers as inputs, but they are not recommended.

Data Types: char | string | datetime

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.

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: RPV01 = cdsrpv01(ZeroData,ProbData,Settle,Maturity,'Period',1,'StartDate','20-Sep-2010','Basis',1, 'BusinessDayConvention',actual,'CleanRPV01',true,'PayAccruedPremium',true,'ZeroCompounding',1,'ZeroBasis',1)

Number of premium payments per year, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Period' and an N-by-1 vector. Values are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.

Data Types: double

Dates when the CDS premium leg actually starts, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'StartDate' and an N-by-1 vector using a datetime array, string array, or date character vectors. Must be on or between the Settle and Maturity dates. For a forward-starting CDS, specify this date as a future date after Settle.

To support existing code, cdsrpv01 also accepts serial date numbers as inputs, but they are not recommended.

Data Types: char | string | datetime

Day-count basis of the contract, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Basis' and a positive integer using a NINST-by-1 vector.

  • 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

Business day conventions, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'BusinessDayConvention' and a character vector or N-by-1 cell array of character vectors of business day conventions. 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.

Data Types: char | cell

Flag for premium accrual, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'CleanRPV01' and a N-by-1 vector of Boolean flags, which is true if the premium accrued at StartDate is excluded in the RPV01, and false otherwise.

Data Types: logical

Flag for accrued premium payment, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'PayAccruedPremium' and a N-by-1 vector of Boolean flags, true if accrued premiums are paid upon default, false otherwise.

Data Types: logical

Compounding frequency of the zero curve, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'ZeroCompounding' and an integer with values:

  • 1 — Annual compounding

  • 2 — Semiannual compounding

  • 3 — Compounding three times per year

  • 4 — Quarterly compounding

  • 6 — Bimonthly compounding

  • 12 — Monthly compounding

  • −1 — Continuous compounding

Note

When ZeroData is an IRDataCurve object, the arguments ZeroCompounding and ZeroBasis are implicit in ZeroData and are redundant inside this function. In that case, specify these optional arguments when constructing the IRDataCurve object before calling this function.

Data Types: double

Basis of the zero curve, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'ZeroBasis' and a positive integer using a NINST-by-1 vector.

  • 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

More About

RPV01

RPV01, associated with a CDS, is the value of a stream of 1-basis-point premiums according to the payment structure of the CDS contract, and considering the default probability over time.
