They do as f T 0. 0 Of course T 20 T0 t ca be checked o the two above schedules. T s So they get the well kow formula for valug a float leg at a fxg date (but just before the fxg tme!) of maturty T : ( 0 ) B T. We see the a very mportat property : The value of the float leg the does t deped of the dex of the float leg : EURIBOR3M EURIBOR 6M EURIBOR 2M I or example dog all these smplfcatos; we get for the floatleg : 0.3257 ad the a swap rate of : 4.000%. As t s well kow the approxmato s very good. Whe use these approxmato? Not to value a swap portfolo : the you have to take to accout the bass swap betwee EURIBOR3M ad EURIBOR6M for example. It meas you have oe forward curve by dex oe uque dscout curve. As you wll use dfferet curves to calculate the forwards ad to calculate the dscout factors there s o value to make such smplfcatos. I addto the p & l mpact o the valuato of thousads swaps wth otoal from 0M to more 000M s ot so small. If you work o a model for a very exotc terest product (for whch the margs fortuately much more mportat tha for valla swaps) there s value to make these approxmatos at least whe you wrte the documetato of your model! I the rest of the documet we wll do theses smplfcatos. O the fxed leg order to get closer to a bod we wll assume the coverage to be detcal (so equal to ). - 9 -
We get ow a swap rate of 4.0004%; stead of 4.000% after the smplfcatos of the float leg. The level s ow 8.407. Overall we just mea the detals of coveto (bass busess days 2 days rule for the fxg vs the paymet ) are of course mportat for exact valuato ot for uderstad the propertes of a valla swap terms of rsk exposure to the chage terest curves. We also remd that whe the fxg s kow the valuato of the flow leg becomes : ( Eurbor6M ( T T ) ) B( 0 T ) B( 0 T ) + δ. 0 0 To get ths formula just wrte that the leg s the sum of a floatg leg startg at date T whose B 0 T B 0 T ad the preset value of the kow fxg whose valuato s valuato s ( ) ( 0 ) Eurbor6M ( T T ) δ B( 0 T ). 0 Ths formula s of course valuable f T0 0 T. 0 beg the curret market date To come to the pot of our demostrato after all these perhaps paful prelmares let s ow start from the schedules of the two legs of our 0Y swap : Fx s ow equal to 4.0004%. Let s assume ow we add a cash-flow of o each leg. We do t chage aythg to the total value of the swap of course whatever the curve. The value of the float leg s ow ( B ( 0 T ) + B( 0 T )) coupo 4.0004%! 0 0 the fxed leg s ow a 0Y bod of For a trader holdg a 0Y bod facg the posto at EURIBOR6M the aalyss s the same. I other words the float leg of a 0year valla recever swap s the facg leg of a log posto o a 0Y bod. - 20 -
Whe we add the otoal o the two legs of the swaps at each fxg dates (just before the fxg tme am!) we just move all the rsk of the swap o the fxed leg. Whe the fxg s kow there s a slght rsk o the float leg whch s tally aroud the dex of the float leg ( 0. 5 for our example as the float leg s payer). - 2 -
