Next coupon date for fixed-income security.

Syntax

Arguments

Settle
Settlement date. A vector of serial date numbers or date strings. Settle must be earlier than or equal to Maturity.
Maturity
Maturity date. A vector of serial date numbers or date strings.
Period
Coupons per year of the bond. A vector of integers. Allowed values are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. Default = 2.
Basis
Day-count basis of the bond. A vector of integers.
0 = actual/actual (default), 1 = 30/360, 2 = actual/360,
3 = actual/365.
EndMonthRule
End-of-month rule. A vector. This rule applies only when Maturity is an end-of-month date for a month having 30 or fewer days. 0 = ignore rule, meaning that a bond's coupon payment date is always the same numerical day of the month. 1 = set rule on (default), meaning that a bond's coupon payment date is always the last actual day of the month.
IssueDate
Date when a bond was issued.
FirstCouponDate
Date when a bond makes its first coupon payment. When FirstCouponDate and LastCouponDate are both specified, FirstCouponDate takes precedence in determining the coupon payment structure.
LastCouponDate
Last coupon date of a bond prior to the maturity date. In the absence of a specified FirstCouponDate, a specified LastCouponDate determines the coupon structure of the bond. The coupon structure of a bond is truncated at the LastCouponDate regardless of where it falls and will be followed only by the bond's maturity cash flow date.
StartDate
Date when a bond actually starts (the date from which a bond's cash flows can be considered). To make an instrument forward-starting, specify this date as a future date. If StartDate is not explicitly specified, the effective start date is the settlement date.

Settle and Maturity are required arguments. All others are optional.
Required arguments must be N-by-1 or 1-by-N conforming vectors or scalars. Optional arguments must be either N-by-1 or 1-by-N conforming vectors, scalars, or empty matrices.

Description

NextCouponDate = cpndaten(Settle, Maturity, Period, Basis, EndMonthRule, IssueDate, FirstCouponDate, LastCouponDate, StartDate) returns the serial date number for the next coupon date after the settlement date. This function finds the next coupon date whether or not the coupon structure is synchronized with the maturity date.

Use the function datestr to convert serial date numbers to formatted date strings.
