Interest Rate Modelling  Definition: Interest Rate  The percentage of an amount of money that's paid

for its use over a specified time period  Very few market instruments do not use interest rates

in their effective valuation

MSc

COMPUTATIONAL FINANCE

 Definition: The Term Structure of Interest Rates  The term structure of interest rates is a graphic

representation of how interest rates vary with maturity; it shows the relationship between the yield from a financial instrument and its maturity. 4

©Finbarr Murphy 2007

Interest Rate Modelling  Yields across different outstanding maturities can be

plotted to create a yield curve  The term structure of interest rates is better known

as the yield curve.

MSc

COMPUTATIONAL FINANCE

 Yield curves come in different shapes but they always

refer to instruments of a homogeneous (the same) nature.  As interest rates change - or as expectations of future

interest rates change - investors will typically switch between maturities to try to achieve capital gains (or at least to avoid capital losses). 5

Interest Rate Modelling  In this lecture, we are primarily concerned with how

one might model an interest rate/term structure  In the same way that the modelling of stock price

behaviour gave us models to calculate option prices, the ability to model the term structure of interest rates allows us to model any number of fixed income derivatives  There are two basic approaches:  See slide:

Interest Rate Modelling  For the moment, we will look at modelling interest

rates using traditional term structure models  We begin with a look at a pure discount bond

 This is denoted by s     ˆ P( t , s ) = Et exp − ∫ r (τ ) dτ    t 

 Where r(τ) is the short rate path between t and s  And Êt is the risk neutral expectation at time = t

Interest Rate Modelling  Early term structure models supposed that the entire

term structure was driven by one source of uncertainty  So called, 1-factor models  This single source of uncertainty is the short rate

MSc

COMPUTATIONAL FINANCE

 We start with the Vasicek (1977) model

Traditional Term Structure Models  The Vasicek (1977) model  The SDE representing the uncertainty in the short

rate is give by the equation

dr = α ( r − r ) dt + σdz

 Where

COMPUTATIONAL FINANCE

 r(t) is the short rate at time t  dz is a Weiner increment  r is the long term mean rate of r  The volatility of the short rate is assumed to be a constant σ  α is the rate at which r reverts to r

©Finbarr Murphy 2007

Traditional Term Structure Models  The short rate is assumed to follow the Ornstein-

Uhlenbeck process  r, α and σ can be calculated using regression

techniques  Under Vasicek, the discount rate is given by

P(t , s ) = A(t , s )e

 The equivalent continuously compounded yield is

given by

ln A(t , s ) B(t , s ) R(t , s ) = − + r s −t s −t 13

Traditional Term Structure Models  Where

Traditional Term Structure Models  Cox-Ingersoll-Ross  The Vasicek model has two major short falls  Interest rates can be negative in the model  The negative correlation between interest rates and interest

rate sensitivity is ignored

MSc

COMPUTATIONAL FINANCE

 CIR (1995) introduce a model where the volatility of

the short rate increases with the square root of the level of the rate  This precludes negative rates  Displays more variability in high rate environments

and visa versa 17

Traditional Term Structure Models  The CIR SDE is given by
