  2. Black–Derman–Toy model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black–Derman–Toy_model

    Once solved, retain these known short rates, and proceed to the next time-step (i.e. input spot-rate), "growing" the tree until it incorporates the full input yield-curve. In mathematical finance , the Black–Derman–Toy model ( BDT ) is a popular short-rate model used in the pricing of bond options , swaptions and other interest rate ...

  3. Lattice model (finance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_model_(finance)

    Given this functional link to volatility, note now the resultant difference in the construction relative to equity implied trees: for interest rates, the volatility is known for each time-step, and the node-values (i.e. interest rates) must be solved for specified risk neutral probabilities; for equity, on the other hand, a single volatility ...

  4. Yield curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_curve

    Whilst the yield curves built from the bond market use prices only from a specific class of bonds (for instance bonds issued by the UK government) yield curves built from the money market use prices of "cash" from today's LIBOR rates, which determine the "short end" of the curve i.e. for t ≤ 3m, interest rate futures which determine the ...

  5. Continuous-repayment mortgage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous-repayment_mortgage

    The following table shows calculation of an initial estimate of interest rate followed by a few iterations of the Newton–Raphson algorithm. There is rapid convergence to a solution accurate to several decimal places as may be corroborated against the analytical solution using the Lambert W or "productlog" function on Wolfram Alpha.

  6. Nominal interest rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_interest_rate

    The nominal interest rate, also known as an annual percentage rate or APR, is the periodic interest rate multiplied by the number of periods per year. For example, a nominal annual interest rate of 12% based on monthly compounding means a 1% interest rate per month (compounded). [2]

  7. Interest rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interest_rate

    The annual interest rate is the rate over a period of one year. Other interest rates apply over different periods, such as a month or a day, but they are usually annualized. The interest rate has been characterized as "an index of the preference . . . for a dollar of present [income] over a dollar of future income". [1]

  8. Bootstrapping (finance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(finance)

    Given: 0.5-year spot rate, Z1 = 4%, and 1-year spot rate, Z2 = 4.3% (we can get these rates from T-Bills which are zero-coupon); and the par rate on a 1.5-year semi-annual coupon bond, R3 = 4.5%. We then use these rates to calculate the 1.5 year spot rate. We solve the 1.5 year spot rate, Z3, by the formula below:
