TStepGrowMkt (Time, Base, Start, MktAnnRate, ToDates, AnnualRates, GrowthDates, GrowthRates, [DayCount], [Periods], [ProjMode]) | ||||||||
Project a stepped continuous rate using a series of to dates and rates, where any gaps (zeros) in the rates are derived using a market rate and growth rates | ||||||||
The function projects an amount over a timeperiod based on AnnualRates. In that respect it is the same as TStepGrow. The difference is that if a value of AnnualRates is blank or zero, the function will assume it needs to calculate that value from a | ||||||||

Features | ||||||||
T... | Rates pertain to the time up until each corresponding to date | |||||||
...Grow... | Incorporating growth rates | |||||||
Step... | Has a stepped rate profile | |||||||
...Mkt... | The function reviews to a market estimate at intervals | |||||||
Methodology | ||||||||
This is like a TStep where the stepped rates are unknown, but can be established from a MktAnnRate and some GrowthRates. The function works by first calculating the rates off the market values at the various dates, and then doing a conventional TStep. | ||||||||
