Function SecurityPeriodicAccruedInterest(SettlementDate, MaturityDate, ParValue, Frequency, CouponRate, Basis)

SecurityPeriodicAccruedInterest

The function SecurityPeriodicAccruedInterest returns the accrued interest from the begin of the coupon period until the settlement date for a security that pays interest at the end of each coupon period.

SecurityPeriodicAccruedInterest(
    SettlementDate, ! (input) scalar string expression
    MaturityDate,   ! (input) scalar string expression
    ParValue,       ! (input) numerical expression
    Frequency,      ! (input) numerical expression
    CouponRate,     ! (input) numerical expression
    [Basis]         ! (optional) numerical expression
    )

Arguments

SettlementDate

The date of settlement of the security. SettlementDate must be in date format.

MaturityDate

The date of maturity of the security. MaturityDate must also be in date format and must be a date after SettlementDate.

ParValue

The starting value of the security at issue date. ParValue must be a positive real number.

Frequency

The number of coupon payments in one year. Frequency must be 1 (annual), 2 (semi-annual) or 4 (quarterly).

CouponRate

The annual interest rate of the security as a percentage of the par value. CouponRate must be a nonnegative real number.

Basis

The day-count basis method to be used. The default is 1.

Return Value

The function SecurityPeriodicAccruedInterest returns the interest accrued from the begin of the coupon period until settlement date.

Note

This function can be used in an objective function or constraint and the input parameters ParValue and CouponRate can be used as a variable.

Example

Security owned for half a year since last coupon date, against 4%, and value 100.

_p_spai := SecurityPeriodicAccruedInterest(
    SettlementDate :  "2024-07-01",
    MaturityDate   :  "2025-01-01",
    ParValue       :  100,
    Frequency      :  1,
    CouponRate     :  0.04,
    Basis          :  1);
block where single_column_display := 1, listing_number_precision := 6 ;
    display _p_spai ;
endblock ;

Results in an accrued interest of 2:

_p_spai := 2 ;
