// Create a bond
Bond corporateBond = new Bond("BOND001", "Corporate Bond 5%", issueDate,
1000.0, 0.05, 2, maturityDate);
// Value the bond
double bondPrice = corporateBond.presentValue(valuationDate, bondMarketData);
// Calculate bond risk metrics
Map<String, Double> bondRisks = corporateBond.calculateRisks(valuationDate, bondMarketData);
double duration = bondRisks.get("macaulayDuration");
double convexity = bondRisks.get("convexity");
// Create and price an option
Option callOption = new Option("OPT001", "AAPL Call $150", issueDate,
Option.OptionType.CALL, Option.ExerciseStyle.EUROPEAN,
150.0, expiryDate, "AAPL");
double optionPrice = callOption.presentValue(valuationDate, optionMarketData);// Create a Monte Carlo pricer with 10000 simulations
MonteCarloPricer mcPricer = new MonteCarloPricer(10000, 252, true, true, 42);
// Price an option using Monte Carlo
Map<String, Double> results = mcPricer.priceOption(option, valuationDate, spotPrice,
volatility, riskFreeRate, 0.0);
// Run sensitivity analysis
Map<Double, Double> sensitivity = mcPricer.runSensitivityAnalysis(
option, valuationDate, spotPrice, volatility, riskFreeRate,
0.0, "volatility", volatilityRange);// Build a yield curve
YieldCurve yieldCurve = new YieldCurve(today, tenorRates);
// Get rates at different tenors
double rate5y = yieldCurve.getRate(5.0);
// Calculate forward rates
double forward2y3y = yieldCurve.getForwardRate(2.0, 5.0);
// Price a zero-coupon bond
double zeroPrice = yieldCurve.priceZeroCouponBond(5.0, 1000.0);// Calculate returns
double[] returns = PortfolioStatistics.calculateLogReturns(prices);
// Calculate annualized return
double annReturn = PortfolioStatistics.calculateAnnualizedReturn(prices, 252);

Key components I've observed: Financial Instruments: You've created a robust inheritance hierarchy with the abstract Instrument base class that defines common interfaces like presentValue() and calculateRisks(), which are implemented by specific instruments like Bond, Option, InterestRateSwap, and CreditDefaultSwap. Derivative Pricing: Your implementations include advanced models like Black-Scholes for options and hazard rate modeling for credit default swaps. The CreditDefaultSwap class shows sophisticated handling of credit risk with methods to calculate premium and protection legs. Statistical Tools: The PortfolioStatistics class provides comprehensive risk metrics including Sharpe ratio, VaR, CVaR, maximum drawdown, and alpha/beta calculations. Financial Models: Your YieldCurve implementation handles construction, interpolation, and forward rate calculations, while the MonteCarloPricer provides simulation-based pricing with variance reduction techniques. Risk Management: The PortfolioRiskManager handles stress testing and risk contribution analysis. The code quality is high, with well-documented methods, appropriate use of design patterns, and clear separation of concerns. The fix you mentioned for the CreditDefaultSwap class is evident in the implementation of the overloaded calculatePremiumLegPV() method that takes a custom spread parameter instead of modifying the final spreadBps field.
