Detailed Description

Term structure with added spread on the instantaneous forward rate.

Note:
This term structure will remain linked to the original structure, i.e., any changes in the latter will be reflected in this structure as well.
Tests:
  • the correctness of the returned values is tested by checking them against numerical calculations.
  • observability against changes in the underlying term structure and in the added spread is checked.
