Class Forward

java.lang.Object

net.finmath.marketdata.products.AbstractAnalyticProduct

net.finmath.marketdata.products.Forward

All Implemented Interfaces:

AnalyticProduct, Product

public class Forward
extends AbstractAnalyticProduct
implements AnalyticProduct

Implements the valuation of a forward using curves (discount curve, forward curve). The forward value is simply the product of a discount factor and a forward. This is similar to a FRA (a forward rate), except that there is no scaling with a period length. The class can be used to define equity forwards. Here the discount curve can be interpreted as a repo curve.

Constructor Detail

Forward

public Forward(double maturity,
               double paymentOffset,
               String forwardCurveName,
               double spread,
               String discountCurveName)

Creates a forward. The forward has a unit notional of 1.

Parameters:

maturity - Maturity, i.e., fixing on the forward curve.

paymentOffset - Payment offset, i.e. payment is maturity + paymentOffset.

forwardCurveName - Name of the forward curve, leave empty if this is a fix payment.

spread - Additional fixed payment (if any).

discountCurveName - Name of the discount curve for the forward.

Method Detail

getValue

public double getValue(double evaluationTime,
                       AnalyticModel model)

Description copied from interface: AnalyticProduct

Return the valuation of the product using the given model. The model has to implement the modes of AnalyticModel.

Specified by:

getValue in interface AnalyticProduct

Parameters:

evaluationTime - The evaluation time as double. Cash flows prior and including this time are not considered.

model - The model under which the product is valued.

Returns:

The value of the product using the given model.
