While the transactions of the derivative financial
products have been worldwide popular in the capital and
financial market, it just has its beginning here in Taiwan.
Because the public are not familiar with these new financial
products, the transaction in the market is still not active.
Most of the transactions are among foreign banks or between
foreign bank and large international enterprises. This
study focuses on Far-East Textile 62th corporate bond, and
investigates the pricing of bond derivative financial products.
First, I abandon the flat hypothesis on the term stucture of
interest rate in earlier theoretical paper, and take the
variation of term structure of interest rate into consideration.
I also utilize Hull-White(1990) Extended-Vasicek one factor term
structure of interest rate model, so as to distinguish the
short-term and long-term interest rate, and the prices of short-
term and long-term bond. Secondly, I apply Black(1976) forward
bond option pricing model and Jamshidian(1989) option pricing
model in order to estimate the option prices based on these
rate/bond ,including Call and Put, then summing up to calculate
Floor and Cap price implied in Far-East Textile 62th corporate
bond. Next, applying term structure of interest rate and Floor
Approach, I also calculate the price of Far-East Textile 62th
corporate bond A & B. Meanwhile I compare the theoretical price
with the second market''s quote price, so as to demonstrate its
pricing error. By varying the parameter in Hull-White Extended-
Vasicek term structure of interest rate model, We can find out
the effect of parameter''s variation on the pricing error.
Besides, I use the computer simulation to calculate the Floor
and Cap price implied in Far-East Textile 62th corporate bond A
& B, within the 0%~25% interest rate interval. Last, under
Jamshidian(1989) option pricing model, with one-factor and two-
factor sensitivity analysis, I also investigate parameter''s
influences on Floor and Cap price. To Sum up, the
conclusions are as follows: (1)The estimations of
parameters in the term structure of interest rate model will
vary with different sampling periods. It will then influence the
sequential valuation of Floor and Cap. (2)The variation
of model parameter has very little influence on pricing error.
There is little difference between Jamshidian model and Black
model. (3)Under computer simulation, the Cap and Floor
prices estimated by Black model and Jamshidian model are very
close. (4)From one-factor sensativity analysis, We know
that the adjust rate a of the short-term rate toward long-term
average m is negative related to both Cap and Floor prices. The
long-term average m is positive related to Cap price while
negative related to Floor prices. The volatility of index rate s
is positive related to Cap and Floor price. The exercise rate x
is negative related to Cap price,but positive related to Floor
price. Within the same index rate reset period ,as time passes
toward the next reset date, Cap and Floor prices will gradually
increase and come to their maximum on the day just before next
reset date. On the index rate reset date, the prices will
decrease and lower than those on the last reset date. The
process will repeat again and again until the prices come to
zero on the bond expiry date. (5)From two-factor
sensitivity analysis, We know that: (a)When value a is smaller;
i.e. the adjust rate of the short-term rate toward long-term
average m is slower,Cap and Floor prices are bigger. Also, at
this time Cap and Floor prices have nothing to do with the value
of long-term average m. By contrast, when value a is bigger; i.
e. the adjust rate is faster,Cap and Floor prices are smaller,
and at this moment Cap and Floor prices have something to do
with the value of the long-term average m. (b)Generally
speaking, the volatility of index rate s is positive related to
both Cap and Floor prices. The exercise rate x is negative
related to Cap prices but positive related to Floor prices.
However, when the adjust rate of the short-term rate toward the
long-term average m is faster,i.e. as a is bigger,the effect of
volatility s and exercise rate x on Cap and Floor prices will be
weakened accordingly. As a conclusion, the adjust rate a of
short-term rate toward long-term average m, has key influence on
Cap and Floor prices. This should be worthy of our special
attention.
