nrgb_risk

nrgb_risk (routine)

Calculate price/yield, duration, convexity, etc. for an Norway government bond

Introduced in release: 1.996
Component: Non-US (developed mkts)
Purpose: Calculates the following risk measures and associated values for a New Zealand government regular bond or odd first coupon bond.

       price/yield       ai                 current yield
       duration          modified duration  convexity
       price value 01    yield value 1/32
       total interest    coupon interest    interest on interest
       prev coupon date  next coupon date
       days accrued      days in period     days remaining

Special Considerations: Input or calculated yield is always annual even if the coupon frequency is not annual.

The estimated Macaulay duration, estimated modified duration, and estimated convexity calculated by this routine are based on their relationship to the value of a 0.01 swing in basis points, and therefore are approximate, usually matching the discounted cash flow method to three decimal places. The special status codes 4051, 4052, 4053, 4054, and 4055 may be returned by this routine when the security's yield, price, discount, coupon equivalent yield, or bond equivalent yield is so small that it precludes direct calculation of some other analytics, specifically duration and convexity. If this error occurs (unlike almost all other errors), most of the values returned by this routine are correct. The following returned values are correct after any of these status codes:
 price
 yield
 accrued interest
 current yield
 total interest
 coupon interest
 interest on interest
 days in the period
 days accrued
 days remaining
 periods remaining
 next coupon date
 previous coupon date
The following returned values are not correct after any of these status codes:
 duration
 modified duration
 convexity
 price value 01
 yield value 1/32

Notes: This routine can optionally perform its calculations considering an input ex-dividend date. To calculate an ex-dividend date use the nrgb_exd routine.

Results: The results are accurate to as many places as supported by a double precision value.

Error Conditions: Returned values should be ignored for a non-zero status. See Errors.
