How to calculate annualized Swap Rate (from quarterly data)
You’ll be most likely given four interest rates or discount factors.
Maturity | Annualized Rate | Discount Factor |
---|---|---|
90 | R1 | 1 /(1 + (R1 * (90/360))) = Z1 |
180 | R2 | 1 /(1 + (R2 * (180/360))) = Z2 |
270 | R3 | 1 /(1 + (R3 * (270/360))) = Z3 |
360 | R4 | 1 /(1 + (R4 * (360/360))) = Z4 |
C = (1 – Z4) / (Z1 + Z2 + Z3 + Z4)
Assuming quarterly date Annualized Swap Rate = 4C or C/(90/360)
Shouldn’t be the last one 1+R4 360/360? You wrote 90/360.
Yeah, sorry cutting and pasting typo…
Good luck,man.
