Sprd/Bfly Enhancements | Weekly Release 7/3/20

Enhancement #1

Added Enhanced weighting column and options by adding a “Notional Neutral Weighted” method

Notional Neutral Weight applies to spread & butterfly strategies. Calculated by the DV01 ratios. For the spread, normalizing the weight2 to 1; for the butterfly, normalizing the belly to 2.

Bond1/Bond2: Weight1 = -1 * bond1 dv01 / bond2 dv01

Weight2 = 1

Bond1/Bond2/Bond3:

Weight1 = -1 * bond1 spot DV01 / bond2 spot DV01

Weight2 = 2

Weight3 = -1 * bond3 spot DV01 / bond2 spot DV01

Example: 2/3/5

$100,000,000 CT2 Spot DV01 = 19903

$100,000,000 CT3 Spot DV01 = 29489

$100,000,000 CT5 Spot DV01 = 49485

Weight1 = -1 * 19903 / 29489 = -0.6749

Weight2 = 2

Weight3 = -1 * 49485 / 29489 = -1.6781

Bond1/Bond Future1:

bond2 = CTD of BondFuture1

BondFuture1 spot dv01 = bond2 spot dv01 / Conversion Factor

Weight1 = -1 * bond1 spot dv01 / BondFuture1 spot dv01

Weight2 = 1
