Thanks David. I think I get it; because of the price to par behaviour of the FRN on the reset date, the FRN is valued at par and before the next reset it is valued at par + the next CF ?
Thanks very much David, it makes sense when I see it in black and white.
Another question though. In your Youtube video on the topic you (using the method where you value the swap as 2 bonds) valued the floating rate bond as the PV of the notionl and the first CF ... why include the first CF...
I think I can clean up my question a bit:
When the reset occurs the floating rate bond must be priced at par .. why is this ? Is it because the rate will change and thus the coupon will change and not just the discount factor ?
Hi David,
I don't fully understand how to value a plain vanilla swap as a fix rate and floating rate bond. In your Youtube video, for the floating rate bond you price it as PV (1st coupon + notional). Why don't you take into account the other floating rate coupons that take place during the life...
