Key TAGs | Excel Index | API Index


Creates a xccy swap portfolio (against the dollar) object.

A discounting yieldcurve object will be associated with each swap object once created.

A 'SwapKey' string value will be returned on a successful creation of the xccy swap portfolio (against the dollar) object.

This string 'Key' value can then be passed to further swap functions for pricing or querying.

Note : You cannot use CMS Swap Index objects within this portfolio object.



This function creates an object and returns a string-key value to represent this created object.
The TAG value of the string-key returned (second part of the key) is : "BOOKXSWP"



Note: Within Excel, the function is named - CT.BOOK.XCcySwapPortfolio

Parameter Description


  1. Key parameter

    Key Handle to be used for the new Portfolio object.
  2. Reload parameter

    When creating this object for the first time, set this parameter to a positive value. Within Excel, when re-computing a worksheet where you do not wish to recreate the object, set this parameter to zero (0).
  3. GroupedIndex parameter

    Key to an already constructed GroupedIndex object. This object is needed in order to extract the necessary index objects needed for pricing.
  4. YCKey parameter

    Key to an already constructed YieldCurve object. This curve will be used for discounting.
  5. IRVolCurve parameter

    Key to an already constructed IR VolCurve object. Needed for CMS type deals.
  6. SwapRange parameter

    A 8 column Swap range : 'SwapName', 'PayRec', 'StartDate', 'EndDate', 'Notional', 'IndexCode', 'InArrears', 'Margin'. The range must contain the titles (detailed within the previous paragraph) for each column.

Example function usage


The C# example below contains all the sub-function calls leading up to this function call. As a result, the example can contain a lot of code.

The VB.NET, J#, C++.NET, Java, Excel VBA, Visual Basic 6 (via COM) and C++ examples below contain function code stubs for the calls leading up to this function call. However, the function call for this function is displayed.
You can easily reproduce the stub functions code from the C# example.


If you are accessing this functrion via the MiniXL libraries, this function is present within the CT.QL.IRPortfolio20 MiniXL Excel Addin.

Within our Excel Example Addin Generator, we have used the following QuantTools sub-functions in order to prepare the arguments needed to call the XCcySwapPortfolio() function. If you are executing this function via the MiniXL libraries, the module addin name, (in brackets, to the right of the sub-functions listed below), indicates the MiniXL library in which the sub-function is held. You will need to load this library into your Excel session (along with any other libraries that the sub-function call within the addin requires (ie - CT.QT.Utils20 addin in almost all cases) in order for the example to compute successfully.

These are the financial QuantTools sub-function calls that are used within the examples :





The objects generated by these sub-functions are inter-connected in the following way :
