Foreign Exchange Contracts

All Foreign Exchange Contracts


Each contract is linked to a General Ledger Master and an accounting centre. A default can be set up for the General Ledger Master and Accounting Centre. The General Ledger Master determines the ledger category for the contract, see the General Ledger Administration Guide for further information on General Ledger Masters. If a contract is arranged through a broker, the brokerage payable can be either entered as an amount or calculated from the Brokerage Tables. When brokerage is calculated the contract exchange rate is used if the brokerage currency is one of the deal currencies; the mid market exchange rate is used if the brokerage currency is neither of the deal currencies. Back-valued Foreign Exchange contracts can be entered. They are matured as they are entered. All necessary accounting entries are processed and the Foreign Exchange profits are adjusted as required. For each Foreign Exchange contract, you can enter narrative events that are used for reporting purposes. Each contract can have any number of associated narrative events, provided that each event has a different value date.

12

3937 0135-930

Foreign Exchange Contracts

Foreign Exchange Outrights


Outrights are the single exchange of two currencies at a specified exchange rate and on a specified date.

Split Value Date


Foreign Exchange contracts have a split value date where the purchase and sale events of the two currencies involved are settled on two different maturity dates, the bought maturity date and the sold maturity date. This functionality is available only for Foreign Exchange Outright deals.

Market Foreign Exchange Commercial Deals


Commercial Foreign Exchange deals are exchanges of currency on which commission can be charged. Spot, forward and option deals can be entered. Spot deals are those that mature on or before the spot date (normally two business days forward). Commission and charges on the deal are entered when the contract is entered. Forward deals are those that mature on a specific date beyond the spot date. Commission and charges can be entered for the maturity of the contract at any time before the maturity date. Option deals are those for which the initial rate and amount are set at the start date but which may be settled at any time in the future between two specific dates agreed by the counterparties. The client can exercise the option in a number of take-ups. Up to 999 take-ups can be made on a commercial option deal, any number of which can be made on one day. Take-ups can be made from the option date up to the day before the contract matures. Back or forward valued take-ups can be entered in which case the accounting entries and profits will be updated accordingly, on the value date of the forward take-up and on the input date for backvalued entries. The deal currency on a takeup is identified when the option deal is entered. All takeups are calculated on the basis of the current exchange rate, as defined by the system, for that currency. If the nostro or agent is not entered, the original (parent) contract details are used. Commission and charges, which can be in any currency, are entered for each takeup. If the currency is the same as the bought or sold currency, the commission and charges are added to or subtracted from the exchange amount.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

Foreign Exchange Swaps


A Foreign Exchange Swap involves the spot purchase, or sale, of one currency and the reverse sale, or purchase, of the same amount of that currency against a second currency on a future date. Foreign Exchange Swaps differ from Divided Swaps in that the counterparty is the same at both ends of the deal. The two ends of the Foreign Exchange Swap take place at specified near and far dates. The deal is treated as one contract. For accounting purposes, the Foreign Exchange Swap is treated as an outright after the near end has been reached, but the contract is reported as a swap.

Foreign Exchange Divided Swaps


Divided Swaps are the near and forward exchange of a common amount in common currencies where the counterparty differs at each end of the deal. Divided Swaps are entered using two market Foreign Exchange contract screens, one for the near end of the deal and one for the far end of the deal. An indicator field is used to identify the contract as a Divided Swap and the contract to which it relates is identified by a unique reference number.

Inter-Accounting Centre Loans and Deposits


These are internal loans and deposits between two accounting centres in the same or different sectors of your bank, made via the Foreign Exchange accounting centre. The inter-accounting centre loan and deposit deal enables an accounting centre that is short of funds in one currency to borrow from an accounting centre that is long on funds in a different (or in the same) currency, at internal rates of interest. Within the system an inter-accounting centre loan/deposit is divided into two separate deals: A deal between the lending accounting centre and the Foreign Exchange accounting centre A deal between the borrowing accounting centre and the Foreign Exchange accounting centre

The internal funding can either be in a single currency, or across currencies (interest arbitrage). In the former case both sides of the deal must have the same interest rate and basis. In the latter case, the inter-accounting centre loan and deposit deal consists of a deposit of one currency from the lending accounting centre to the Foreign Exchange accounting centre, and a loan in another currency to the borrowing accounting centre. For interest arbitrage, the exchange rate and the two rates of interest charged for the deal are fixed and determine the allocation of profit between the three accounting centres. The external cash flows in each accounting centre are balanced by the internal transaction and the exchange risk on any mismatched interest is identified in the forward currency positions. The exchange risk to both the principal and interest is included in the Foreign Exchange accounting centre's positions, ladder and profitability reporting.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

Inter-Accounting Centre Deals through Foreign Exchange Accounting Centre


These are outright Foreign Exchange deals, either spot or forward, between two accounting centres (one of which must be the Foreign Exchange accounting centre) in the same or different sectors of your bank. The inter-accounting centre deal enables accounting centres to cover their customer generated Foreign Exchange requirements internally. The Foreign Exchange positions of the accounting centres involved are automatically updated when the transaction is entered and are included in the maturity ladder. Any profit or loss obtained by the dealers is reported in the accounting centre profitability figures.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

Foreign Exchange Profits


Two methods of reporting Foreign Exchange profits on a daily basis are provided. These are: The traditional liquidation method, which uses the forward market rates The accruals method which uses the swap differential at the time of the deal

Traditional Liquidation Method


Traditional liquidation determines profits by valuing the forward Foreign Exchange book at its current liquidation value. This method of calculating profit is refined by enabling you to enter forward (anticipated) market exchange rates which may then be applied on the maturity date of forward contracts. Such forward rates cannot be set up for every contract maturity date so, where no rate is available, a derived rate is applied. This is based on the interpolation between forward rates lying on either side of the maturity date.

Accrual Methods
When you enter a Foreign Exchange Market deal, you indicate which accrual method you want the system to use for that deal. When a new contract is set up based on a product, the product's accrual method will be used by default. However, these defaults can be overwritten when entering the contract on the add screens except in the cases where the default has been set to None. There are currently six options available: Spot Revaluation Undiscounted Special Deferred Swap Profits Discounted Standard Undiscounted Standard None If you enter a deal with a backvalued near date, the system calculates accruals between input date and maturity date only.

Note:

Spot Revaluation
This accrual method is sensitive to changes in the spot exchange rate over the life of a contract. For Outright deals it is necessary to specify the deal rate and maturity date. Additionally, for deals that use the spot revaluation method it is also a requirement to specify a near rate and a near date. These represent the prevailing spot rate and spot date at the time of deal input. For Swap deals the near rate (i.e. the rate on the near leg) and the near date are always defined.

16

3937 0135-930

Foreign Exchange Contracts

Spot Revaluation is formed of four elements (all amounts are converted to base currency at midmarket spot rates): Adjustment back to spot (ABTS). For Outright deals, ABTS is the difference between the non-profit amount converted using the near rate, and the deal amount. For Swaps, ABTS is the difference between the far non-profit amount converted using the near rate, and the far profit Amount. For both Outright and Swap deals ABTS is calculated only once and is available for posting on the first day of input. Amortised Adjustment (AMADJ) AMADJ is the ABTS amount amortised between the near date and the day before the maturity date. For example if the ABTS is 100 and there are 20 days between the near and maturity dates then the daily AMADJ will be 5. This amount is calculated on a daily basis and is available from the near date until the day before maturity. Rate Change (RCH) For Outright deals, RCH is the difference between the non-profit amount converted using the deal mid market rate, and the profit amount. For Swap deals, RCH is calculated as follows: The near leg RCH is the difference between the near non deal amount (converted using the deal mid market rate) and the deal amount. This ceases after the near leg has passed. The far leg RCH is the difference between the far non deal amount (converted using the deal mid market rate) and the deal amount. The RCH for the Swap is the sum of the near and far leg RCH This amount is calculated on a daily basis and is available from the second day after input until maturity. Profit Element of Spot (PEL) PEL is the Rate Change (RCH) amount on the day of input minus the Amortisation Back to Spot amount (ABTS). This amount is only available on the day of input. The total daily profit for a deal is: On the day of deal input - PEL plus AMADJ On subsequent days after deal input - RCH plus AMADJ

Undiscounted Special
This accrual method is used with traded foreign exchange swap and market contracts that are undertaken on a speculative basis.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

The following calculation is used for each foreign exchange contract that uses the "Undiscounted Special" accrual method: 1. Using today's spot conversion rates: 2. 3. 4. Add or subtract the buy currency forward points to the buy currency market buy rate to establish the buy currency forward rate. Add or subtract the sell currency forward points to the sell currency market sell rate to establish the sell currency forward rate.

The "Deal Amount" is converted to the non deal currency using the currency forward rates calculated above. The difference between today's revaluation and yesterday's revaluation is taken as the profit or loss. On the input date the non deal amount is used for comparison. This profit or loss is converted to the base currency using the non deal and base currency mid market (spot) rates and may be posted as required by the users accounting model.

For Foreign Exchange Swaps calculation is repeated for both the near and far legs. The profit and loss from each leg is made available for posting separately. Revaluation occurs each day from the input date to and including the exchange date.

Deferred Profits
This accrual method applies for foreign exchange swaps and foreign exchange markets used for investment purposes. 1. Establish the profit currency: 2. 3. If one of the exchange currencies is the base currency, then this is the profit currency If neither of the exchange currencies is the base currency, then the deal currency is the profit currency.

The non profit amount is converted to the profit currency using the mid market spot rates applicable to those currencies. The difference between today's revaluation and yesterday's revaluation is regarded as the profit or loss. This amount is converted to the base currency using the mid market profit and base currency rates and posted.

When dealing with foreign exchange swaps, the profit or loss for the near leg is revalued and posted on a daily basis. Far leg revaluation is posted once at maturity. Revaluation occurs each day from the input date to and including the exchange date. When dealing with foreign exchange market, the 'Rolled up Profit and Loss that is the total revaluation is made available on the single daily accrual event (DY) which is then posted on the maturity date of the deal. It is calculated as follows: The non-profit amount is converted to the profit currency at the closing mid market rates on the maturity date. This amount is then netted with the profit amount and the result is converted into the base currency also at the closing mid market rate.

Undiscounted Standard
This method revalues the deal daily using the current mid market forward rate applicable to the deal's maturity date. 1. Using today's spot conversion rates: Add or subtract the buy currency mid market forward points to the buy currency midmarket rate to establish the buy currency forward rate. Add or subtract the sell currency mid market forward points to the sell currency midmarket rate to establish the sell currency forward rate. If one of the currencies is the base currency, then this is the profit currency If neither of the currencies is the base currency, then the deal currency is the profit currency.

2. Establish the profit currency:

3. The non profit amount is converted to the profit currency using the currency forward rates calculated above. 4. The difference between the buy and sell amounts (both denominated in the profit currency) is converted to the base currency using the profit and base currency mid-market rates. 5. This figure is compared with yesterday's net revaluation and the difference is posted. For Foreign Exchange Swaps, this calculation is repeated for both the near and far legs. The profit and loss from each leg is made available for posting separately. Revaluation occurs each day from the input date to and including the exchange date.

Discounted Standard
This method uses market forward rates as defined in Undiscounted Standard to revalue into base currency and then discounts this figure back to the current date using a named base currency zerocoupon rates table to give the present value. All the first five points of the Undiscounted Standard method are appropriate when using Discounted Standard. In addition, once the base currency is established, it is discounted before it is compared with yesterday's net revaluation.
Present Value = Mark to Market Discount Factor

Discount Factor Calculation:

Discount Rate 1 + 100


N =

Number of days to maturity Base currency interest basis

3937 0135-930

19

Foreign Exchange Contracts

Discount Rate: The discount rate table is defined in the blueprint parameter BP-ZRO-CPN-RTE-TBL. The system accesses the rate applicable to the base currency. If the number of days to maturity is between two rates as defined on the table, a rate will be interpolated. Note: The blueprint parameter BP-DISC-ADV may hold a value which defines the number of working days from the current system date to the present date to which the present value relates. The default is zero days ahead that is discounting back to todays date. If set to 2, then discounting will be back to the spot date instead.

None
This method may be specified in order to prevent certain Foreign Exchange contracts from being revalued. As there is no revaluation the positions do not get updated.

Taking Profit into the Books


Both the Traditional Liquidation and Accrual methods of calculating Foreign Exchange profit produce the same valuation of total contract profit at maturity. The figures calculated from the Accrual Method are those that are used for passing to the accounting models. The Traditional Liquidation method is used for reporting purposes only. The passing of Foreign Exchange profit into the books of your bank is optional. The net postings are available at maturity so that the sums can be automatically transferred from unrealised accounts into profit and loss accounts.

Exchange Rates
Exchange rates on Foreign Exchange contracts can be between 0 and 9999 with an accuracy of up to eight decimal places. When you enter a contract, you need only enter the deal amount and the exchange rate. It is also possible to enter the amount of the other currency involved in the deal; if the other amount is not entered it is calculated automatically.

Note:

If the exchange rate entered is close to one, both the deal amount and the non-deal amount must be entered. The margins allowed for the exchange rates are controlled by the blueprint parameters (BP-HI-XRATE and BP-LO-XRATE) set up at installation.

Current spot rates are determined from the market-buy and market-sell rates, which are held on the Exchange Rates Table. In a multi-sector environment, exchange rates used for validation and profit calculation are associated with the accounting centre from which the deal originates when it is entered. For deals that involve an exchange of the base currency, the current spot rate is either the marketbuy or sell rate for the other currency, depending on whether it is being bought or sold. For deals that do not involve the base currency, the current spot rate is calculated as a cross-rate using the market-sell rate (for the sold currency) and the market-buy rate (for the bought currency). For certain Foreign Exchange deals the exchange rate field is invalid with the introduction of the euro. (See Euro Related Information in the Core Functions and Inquiries Guide.)

Exchange Rate Width Bands


When you enter a Foreign Exchange contract, the exchange rate is checked to see whether it falls within width bands when compared with the current spot rate for the bought and sold currencies. The width bands for each currency are held on the Currencies (CCYS) table. These bands work as follows: 1. 2. 3. If the exchange rate is within the first band, it is accepted. If the exchange rate is outside the first band, but within the second band, a wide code must be entered to accept it. If the exchange rate is outside the second band, a management code must be entered to accept it.

For deals that involve an exchange of the base currency, the width bands held for the other currency in the deal are used. For deals that do not involve the base currency, the width bands are calculated by multiplying the percentages held for each currency.

Confirmation and Payment Advices


Input confirmations are printed (or S.W.I.F.T. messages are generated) when a contract is entered. Confirmations for subsequent events are produced a number of days in advance of the event (as set up at installation). These subsequent confirmations are produced during the end-of-day processing. Payment advices are printed (or S.W.I.F.T. messages are generated) whenever a movement of currency is recorded. For inter-accounting centre contracts, no payment advices are printed (nor S.W.I.F.T. messages generated) since there is no external cash flow. When Foreign Exchange Swaps are entered, payment advices are produced for both ends of the swap. For each contract entered, you can specify the priority of the S.W.I.F.T. messages generated for that contract by making an entry in the 'Message Priority' field. If you do not specify the message priority, the default value is used.

Nostro and Agent Combinations for Foreign Exchange


The accounts between which payments are made are automatically identified, on the basis of the nostros and agents that have been set up for each particular contract giving rise to the notice or payment. Default nostro and agents may be allocated according to rules set up on the Nostro Settlement Defaults (NSDFM) and the Agent Settlement Defaults (AGDFM) tables. If compensating payments are being made through a Nostro, the payments can be netted so that no actual payment is made. A nostro account is defined as our account with another bank (the correspondent). In order to correctly reflect any money held with another bank, a copy of the nostro account is maintained in its own books. Nostro accounts are set up using the Nostro Details (NSTRO) table. They are identified by a nostro number and currency or a nostro name and currency. An agent is defined as a third party responsible for paying or receiving funds on a contract. Agents are set up using the Agent Details (AGNTM) table. They are identified by an agent nickname. For details of how to set up nostros and agents, see the Settlements Guide. Nostros and Agents are specified when entering certain contracts under the Foreign Exchange module. In order that instructions for the transfer of funds are correctly generated (using either the S.W.I.F.T. network, if applicable, or printed messages), the system ensures that only valid combinations of nostros and agents can be specified for each contract. Table 1-1 lists and describes valid combinations of entries in the nostro and agent fields. Note the following: A nostro can be identified by either its name or number. The use of an Agent does not necessarily indicate that an account relationship exists between the bank and the agent. For example settlement messages may be sent by the bank to its pay nostro, with information for onward transmission to the client's agent. Similarly, settlement messages may be received from the client's agent by the bank's receive nostro, with information for onward transmission to the bank. Standard settlement instructions can be entered to use the default settings for the nostro and agent for the contract. These instructions can be applied to the contract by entering SSI in the required Receive/Pay Nostro/Agent fields. Following acceptance of the contract, whenever it is displayed whether for maintenance or inquiry, the entered field will display SSI not the agent name/number or nostro/number. SSI cannot be entered for an agent or nostro if the default has not been defined. When SSI has been entered for an agent or nostro, the default agent and nostro details can be displayed by double clicking on the SSI entry. This facility is only available when you are using the Graphic User Interface (GUI). For fuller details, see the Core Functions and Inquiries Guide.

Note:

The default settings for both the agent and the nostro can be entered using other methods. Entering the number or name for the default agent or nostro will display the entered detail for the agent or nostro. Leaving the agent or nostro blank will result in the system applying the default, if available, or T (To be advised).

This combination will result in S.W.I.F.T. messages not being sent - printed messages will be generated instead. Both your correspondent and the client's agent are to be advised. The settlement message will be sent directly to the nostro, when entered. This nostro/agent combination should be used with care when payment takes place at the start event. This combination will result in S.W.I.F.T. messages not being sent - printed messages will be generated instead. No payment is to be made, as the payment amount is to be compensated by a second contract. The contract is to use the default nostro and agent defined using the Agent Settlement Defaults (AGDFM) screen and the Nostro Settlement Defaults (NSDFM) screen. The contract is to use the default agent defined using the Agent Settlement Defaults (AGDFM) screen. The contract is to use the default nostro defined using the Nostro Settlement Defaults (NSDFM) screen. Settlement instructions specific to the contract are to be used for the agent.

Entering Opening Positions


Before the system was installed at your bank, you may have been involved in foreign exchange trading. Foreign exchange positions may therefore already exist. Furthermore, during migration of data, new contracts will have been entered into. It is therefore important that, before installation is complete, you are able to verify that the foreign exchange positions with which this system starts are correct. The following screens are used to set up your opening foreign exchange positions, to reflect the correct starting point for the system: Foreign Exchange Position Installation Change (FXPSC) Foreign Exchange Profit Installation Change (FXPFC)

These screens can be set up in any order. They can only be used before installation is complete: The Installation Complete indicator on the System Parameters (SPMTR) table must be switched off

The Installation Complete indicator on the System Parameters (SPMTR) table must be set to N Once the installation process is completed, these screens cannot be used. The definitions of the fields appearing on these screens are shown in Definition of Field Names.

Straight Through Processing (STP)


If your organisation is using Straight Through Processing (STP) method for entering Foreign Exchange contracts, enter the contract details as an outline deal as described in the Starter's Guide. STP applies defaults, performs the Add validation, allocates a contract number and adds the contract to the system without any manual intervention. See 'Entering and Inquiring on Contracts' in the Starter's Guide for further details. If STP fails, the outline deal details can be found on the Outline Deal Queue (DEALQ) screen. The reason for the failure can be viewed using the Deal Inquiry (DEALI) screen. Note : Straight Through Processing cannot be carried out for Foreign Exchange InterAccounting Centre Loan/Deposit and Foreign Exchange Inter-Accounting Centre deals.

Foreign Exchange Default Maintenance (FXDFM)


Use this screen to set up default details for a foreign exchange product type. The defaults that you enter here are used when a contract is entered by any of the following methods: If you have completed the Contract Input (LEAD1) screen, the product defaults are automatically displayed on the appropriate contract deal entry screen If you are entering a contract via the Outline Deal Queue (DEALQ) screen, the product defaults are automatically displayed on the appropriate contract deal entry screen If you have displayed a blank contract deal entry screen, then the defaults can be recalled by entering: Product Type on the blank contract deal entry screen and clicking Add

Product Type on the blank contract deal entry screen and pressing Transmit

The availability of defaults for a product saves key strokes when entering a deal and helps to standardise details across deals involving the same product. Default details include currencies, settlement details and brokerage details. Any of the defaults recalled onto a contract entry screen may be overwritten. The defaults that you set up on the Foreign Exchange Default Maintenance (FXDFM) screen are associated with a Product Type. Product Types are defined on the Product Types Maintenance (PRTPM) screen, see the Core Functions and Inquiries Guide for more information.

Foreign Exchange Outline Deal Input (FXDEA)


You will be routed to this screen if you enter a foreign exchange market or foreign exchange swap product on the Outline Line Deal Add (DEAL) screen, see the Starter's Guide for details. Use the Foreign Exchange Outline Deal Input (FXDEA) screen to view your exposure to a client and to submit an outline deal to the Outline Deal Queue (DEALQ) from which it can be verified and the contract added to the system. See 'Entering an Outline Deal' in the Starter's Guide for full details of outline deals. When adding Broker details, you can override the existing default Broker details if required and enter a new brokerage amount. When you enter an exchange rate, the rate width checking will derive a rate from the exchange rate group. If the Foreign Exchange Outline Deal Input (FXDEA) screen does not allow you to enter an exchange rate. (See Euro Related Information in the Core Functions and Inquiries Guide.) If the 'Split Maturity Indicator' is set to Yes, you complete the bought and sold maturity dates and leave the 'Maturity Date' field blank. If the contract is not for Split Value Date then enter the maturity date in the 'Maturity Date' field and ignore the bought and sold maturity dates (see 'Definition of Field Names' in Section 5). Note: When you are completing the Foreign Exchange Outline Deal Input (FXDEA) screen, the dates entered are not checked to determine whether they fall on a holiday. Holiday checking occurs when the contract is added onto the system using either the Foreign Exchange Market Add (FXMKA) or the Foreign Exchange Swap Add (FXSWA) screen.

Foreign Exchange Screens

Foreign Exchange Market Add (FXMKA)


The fields that you complete when you are setting up a contract for a foreign exchange market deal will be dependent on the type of deal. Foreign Exchange Outrights: These contracts do not require the use of specialised fields. The basic terms of the contract are defined using the Exchange Rate, Bought Currency, Sold Currency and Maturity Date fields. If the Split Maturity indicator is set, you must complete the bought and sold maturity date fields. The latest of these two dates will be treated as the contract maturity date. Each of these dates will have a standard holiday validation for the country, derived from the currency to which it relates (bought/sold). If you enter a client account hold number in the Remove Hold Number field, the previously held funds will be made available to the client. Divided Swaps: For a divided swap, you set up separate contracts for each part of the swap. For each contract the Divided Swap Indicator must be set either to Near End or Far End, depending on which part of the swap you are defining. You treat each part of the swap as if it were a separate foreign exchange outright deal. For documentary purposes, you complete the Related Contract field so that you know which contract forms the other part of the swap. Commercial Deals: For commercial deals the Commercial Indicator field must be set on. The type of commercial deal is defined as follows: For spot deals, the Maturity Date and Near Date fields must be the same For forward deals, the Maturity Date must be after the Near Date For option deals, the Option Date must be set. (This field must not be set for other deals.) The Charge Amount, Charge/Commission Currency and Commission Amount fields are only relevant to commercial deals.

Note:

For any foreign exchange market contract, if the exchange rate is close to one, the Non Deal Amount must be entered. If the Foreign Exchange Market Add (FXMKA) screen does not allow you to enter an exchange rate. (See Euro Related Information in the Core Functions and Inquiries Guide.) Either the Bought Currency or the Sold Currency must be entered. If only one is entered, the other defaults to the same currency as the Deal Currency, unless the Deal Currency is the same as the entered (Bought or Sold) Currency in which case different currencies must be entered in both the Bought and Sold Currency fields. If the default Accrual Method for the product is 'None', you will not be able to overwrite and change the accrual method on the Foreign Exchange Market Add (FXMKA) screen.

Foreign Exchange Market Change (FXMKC)


The Foreign Exchange Market Change (FXMKC) screen can be used to change non-financial details of a foreign exchange market contract at any point before the contract matures. However, it cannot be used to perform a direct change to the financial details of the contract, such as the deal amount, the exchange rate or the bought currency. If the contract is part of an Investment Swap, the Foreign Exchange Market Change (FXMKC) screen displays a warning before changing any details of the contract. The following figure shows an example of the Foreign Exchange Market Change screen.

Foreign Exchange Market Inquire/Delete (FXMKI)


The Foreign Exchange Market Inquire/Delete (FXMKI) screen can be used to perform an inquiry on any foreign exchange market contract. After performing an inquiry on a contract you can: Copy it Delete or replace it if: The contract has not matured. If the contract has matured, then it cannot be deleted unless the blueprint parameter BP-CNT-MATDEL-DYS (see the Guide to Setting Up) has been used to specify that matured contracts can be deleted. Using the blueprint parameter you specify the period after maturity during which a contract may be deleted. There are no outstanding takeups against it No takeups have been made against it

If a contract is deleted then all accruals and settlements are backed out. Daily accruals are backed out during overnight processing on the day of deletion. Monthly accruals are backed out during overnight processing at the next month-end. If the contract is part of an Investment Swap, the Foreign Exchange Market Inquire/Delete (FXMKI) screen displays a warning before deleting the contract. The Foreign Exchange Market Inquire/Delete (FXMKI) screen has the same layout as the Foreign Exchange Market Change (FXMKC) screen.

Foreign Exchange Takeup Add (FXTKA)


When you enter a foreign exchange takeup, you must enter the contract number of the foreign exchange market deal to which it relates. For each contract takeup, a reference number must be entered; it is recommended that this is done sequentially for each contract so that each takeup can be easily identified. For a takeup, if the exchange rate is close to one, the Non Deal Amount must be entered. If the Foreign Exchange Takeup Add (FXTKA) screen does not allow you to enter an exchange rate. (See Euro Related Information in the Core Functions and Inquiries Guide.) If you do not enter the nostro and agent details, these are taken from the original (parent) contract (see also Nostro and Agent Combinations for Foreign Exchange in Section 1). The following figure shows an example of the Foreign Exchange Takeup Add screen.

Foreign Exchange Takeup Change (FXTKC)


The Foreign Exchange Takeup Change (FXTKC) screen can be used to change non-financial details of a foreign exchange takeup at any point before the value date. However, it cannot be used to perform a direct change to the financial details of the takeup, such as the deal amount, the value date or the bought currency. To recall a takeup, you must enter the contract number of the related foreign exchange market contract and the reference number of the takeup. The financial details of a takeup cannot be changed. However, if a takeup has not reached its value date, the takeup can be deleted using the Foreign Exchange Takeup Inquire/Delete (FXTKI) screen. A replacement takeup can then be added, using the Foreign Exchange Takeup Add (FXTKA) screen. The Foreign Exchange Market Takeup Change (FXMKC) screen has the same layout as the Foreign Exchange Market Add (FXMKA) screen.

Foreign Exchange Takeup Inquire/Delete (FXTKI)


The Foreign Exchange Market Inquire/Delete (FXMKI) screen can be used to perform an inquiry on any foreign exchange takeup. To recall a takeup, you must enter the contract number of the related foreign exchange market contract and the reference number of the takeup. After performing an inquiry on a takeup you can delete it if its value date has not been reached. The Foreign Exchange Market Takeup Inquire/Delete (FXMKI) screen has the same layout as the Foreign Exchange Market Add (FXMKA) screen.

Foreign Exchange Swap Add (FXSWA)


A Foreign Exchange Swap involves the spot purchase, or sale, of one currency and the reverse sale, or purchase, of the same amount of that currency against a second currency on a future date. The counterparty is the same at both ends of the deal. The two ends of the Foreign Exchange Swap take place at specified near and far dates. The Near Date and Near Details fields are used to define the spot deal. The Far Date and Far Details are used to define the Forward deal. For either end of a foreign exchange swap contract, if the exchange rate is close to one, the Non Deal Amount must be entered. If the Foreign Exchange Swap Add (FXSWA) screen does not allow you to enter an exchange rate. (See Euro Related Information in the Core Functions and Inquiries Guide.) If the default Accrual Method for the product is 'None', you will not be able to overwrite and change the accrual method on the Foreign Exchange Swap Add (FXSWA) screen. Non standard settlement instructions for the payment agent may be created by linking through to the Non Standard settlement Instructions screen (see 'Non Standard Settlement Instructions for Pay Agents' in the Settlements Guide). To do this: Enter NSTD in the Their Receive Agent field and Click Settlement Instructions.

Contract Diary Narratives


Each diary event associated with a foreign exchange contract is processed automatically, on the basis of the details entered in the contract and takeup screens. However, it may be necessary to enter additional diary narratives, for example you may wish the system to provide a message prompting you to take action the day before a takeup event. These contract diary narratives can be set up and maintained using the standard contract screens (see the Core Functions and Inquiries Guide for full details): Contract Diary Narrative Add (CNARA) Contract Diary Narrative Maintain (CNARM)

These diary narratives can be seen on the inquiry screens Diary Narratives By Accounting Centre (DNBIQ) and Diary Narratives By Contract (DNCIQ) (see the Core Functions and Inquiries Guide for full details). Each contract can have any number of associated narrative events. Each narrative event is identified by its value date and sequence number. This means that more than one narrative event can take place on the same value date. Using the Contract Diary Narrative Add (CNARA) screen you can add a number of narrative events for a contract. Individual narrative events can then be updated or deleted using the Contract Diary Narrative Maintain (CNARM) screen.

Money Market Contracts

All Money Market Contracts


Each contract is linked to a General Ledger Master, accounting centre and portfolio. Defaults can be set up for all three. The General Ledger Master determines the ledger category for the contract, see the General Ledger Administration Guide for further information on General Ledger Masters. Portfolios are used to group contracts for risk management purposes. Back-valued contracts can be entered. These contracts can be back-valued to the earliest history retention date, as set up at installation, except that a base rate loan cannot be back-valued to a date before the effective date of the base rate to which it is linked. For each Money Market contract, you can enter narrative events, which are used for reporting purposes. Each contract can have any number of associated narrative events, provided that each event has a different value date. For contracts arranged through a broker, the brokerage fee can be either entered or calculated from the Brokerage tables. An add-on rate can be applied to all loan and deposit contracts. See Cost of Funds in Section 3. Maturity on loan and deposit contracts, base rate loans and deposits, and fixed rate loans and deposits, can be fixed at a number of days notice, or at call. Maturity on discounted loans is always fixed. On loans and deposits, base rate loans and deposits, and fixed rate loans and deposits, interest can be settled either in full at maturity, or at regular intervals during the life of the contract. In the case of call/notice contracts, maturity interest is not calculated until the call or notice is given and the maturity fixed.

Interest Accrual
For index rate loans and deposits and fixed rate loans and deposits, two interest accrual methods are available: Interest is accrued at the end of the first online day during end-of-day processing and during every end-of-day until maturity; no interest is accrued for the Maturity Date itself Interest is accrued during the first beginning-of-day processing (at the start of the second day) and during every beginning-of-day after that including the last day (Maturity Date)

32

3937 0135-930

Money Market Contracts

Automatic Rollover Facility


The system enables you to rollover contracts automatically. Different facilities are available for fixed rate, index rate and base rate loans and deposits. If automatic rollover is used, there are four possible ways of handling the principal and interest: Extend maturity date. The maturity date is extended and new interest settlement (IS) events are created. Rollover and settle interest. The principal only is rolled over. When the rollover date is reached, a new maturity diary is created based on the roll frequency. On the rollover date, a rollover (RL) event is created. Rollover including interest. The principal and interest are both rolled over. When the rollover date is reached, a new maturity diary is created based on the roll frequency. On the rollover date, a rollover (RL) event is created. The new principal equals the current principal plus any interest from the old diary. Rollover interest only. The interest only is rolled over. When the rollover date is reached, a new maturity diary is created based on the roll frequency. On the rollover date, a rollover (RL) event is created. The new principal equals the interest amount from the old maturity diary.

Automatic Rollover of Money Market Fixed Rate and Index Rate Loans and Deposits
For Fixed Rate Loans and Deposits, you can set a frequency at which rollover will be effected automatically. For example, a three month loan could be rolled over monthly. In this case, when the present maturity date is reached, the system changes the maturity event to a rollover event and sets a new maturity date one month hence. The same process will be applied each month until the facility is de-activated for the contract. You can set a new rate to be applied after the contract is rolled over using the Money Market Loan/Deposit Schedule Add (MMLSA) screen. For Index Rate Loans and Deposits, you can set a fixing period in addition to an automatic rollover frequency. For example, a one month deposit could be rolled over weekly with a fixing period of two days. In this case, two days prior to maturity, the system will automatically change the maturity event to a rollover event and set a new maturity date of one week hence. During overnight processing on the date of the rollover event, the system re-fixes the rate by referencing the Rate Table associated with the contract. During the period in which the rollover facility is active, diary events will be created, and interest at maturity will be recalculated, as required. No payments or confirmations will be produced for the maturity diary until the facility has been de-activated for the contract; then overnight processing will produce payment and confirmation messages and make the necessary postings.

3937 0135-930

Money Market Contracts

Automatic Rollover of Money Market Base Rate Deposits


The Maturity Date for each Money Market Base Rate Deposit contract can be automatically rolled forward, if required. If this rollover facility is activated for a contract, overnight processing will automatically effect the rollover for the contract on the last working day prior to its maturity date. The maturity date will continue to be rolled forward, one day at a time, at each subsequent overnight processing until the facility is de-activated for the contract by setting the Roll Maturity to No Rollover. During the period in which the rollover facility is activated, diary events will be created, and interest at maturity will be recalculated, as required. No payments or confirmations will be produced for the maturity diary until the facility has been de-activated for the contract; then overnight processing will produce payment and confirmation messages and make the necessary postings. The automatic roll forward facility can be set on and off as many times as may be required during the life of the contract, up to the maturity date.

34

3937 0135-930

Money Market Contracts

Payments
Payments made as a result of Money Market contracts will automatically be made through either a Nostro or a Settlement account. However, where the payment would have been effected through a nostro that is used to compensate for another contract, no payment will be made as the amount is used as an offset to the other contract. Where a settlement account is used, payments will always be made.

Fixed Rate Loans and Deposits


Loan and deposit contracts have an interest rate that is not linked to a floating rate. The interest rate can be changed at any time during the life of the contract. Zero rate contracts can be entered.

Index Rate Loans and Deposits


Index rate loans and deposits are contracts in which the interest rate is linked to an index rate, for example LIBOR. A rate variation is added to or subtracted from the index rate to give the gross rate for the contract. The rate variation can be changed at any time, but not the rate type (addition or subtraction). You can also enter minimum and maximum rates for index rate loans and deposits. These rates, which can be positive or negative, apply if the gross interest rate falls outside the limits. If the rate changes, the interest rate for the loan or deposit automatically changes.

Base Rate Loans and Deposits


Base rate loans and deposits are contracts in which the interest rate is linked to a base (prime) rate. A rate variation is added to or subtracted from the base rate to give the gross rate for the contract. The rate variation can be changed at any time, but not the rate type (addition or subtraction). You can also enter minimum and maximum rates for base rate loans and deposits. These rates, which can be positive or negative, apply if the gross interest rate falls outside the limits. If the base rate changes, the interest rate for the loan or deposit automatically changes. When a base rate is changed, the BASEUPD - Base Rate Update report, see the On-Demand Reports Guide, updates the schedules. Base rate changes appear in the schedule as base rate change diaries. If interest is settled on the same day as a change in the base rate, the event appears in the schedule as a rollover. Back-valued base rate changes can also be entered. Interest amounts are automatically adjusted, payments are reversed and reissued, and confirmations are revised. All accounting entries are reprocessed. You can change a base rate contract to a fixed rate contract by setting the maximum and minimum rates to the fixed rate required. Interest is accrued daily and is calculated using the current base rate.

3937 0135-930

35

Money Market Contracts

Discounted Loans
Discounted loans are loans in which the interest is discounted (subtracted) from the principal at the start of the loan. The client repays the full principal at maturity. The discount rate you enter is the rate of interest discounted from the principal at the start of the contract. The book value is the amount of funds available to the client (principal amount minus interest amount). The yield rate is the effective rate of interest charged to the client.

Fiduciary Contracts
A Fiduciary contract consists of a loan and one or more deposits that add up to the same amount as the loan. The loan is placed with a foreign bank and backed by local depositors. The benefit of a fiduciary contract is that there is no risk to the bank, and the local depositors are not taxed and can therefore remain anonymous. The loan and deposits must be perfectly matched, with the same principal and interest rates. The bank takes no margin on the interest rate, but makes its profit by charging commission. A single fiduciary loan can be backed by single or multiple deposits. If there is more than one deposit, the deposits must have matching principal and interest rate details. The loans and deposits used in Fiduciary contracts can be either fixed or base rate. See Creating a Fiduciary Contract in Section 4 for more information on fiduciary contracts.

Money Market Contracts

Money Market Schedule Events


When a contract is entered, diary events for input, start and maturity of the contract are generated. Interest settlement events are also scheduled if the settlement frequency is specified for the contract. The chronological ordering of these events constitutes the contract schedule. If the contract is amended or deleted, associated diary events are also amended or deleted. You can also enter other schedule events depending on the type of contract. See Euro Related Information in the Core Functions and Inquiries Guide, for events generated due to contract conversion.

Fixed Rate Loan or Deposit Schedule Events


For fixed rate loans and deposits you can: Enter an interest settlement Change the principal, interest rate and add-on rate Enter a rollover Enter interest and add-on adjustments Enter a penalty amount

Index Rate Loan or Deposit Schedule Events


For index rate loans and deposits you can: Enter an interest settlement Change the principal, rate variation, minimum or maximum rate, and add-on rate Enter a rollover Enter interest and add-on adjustments Enter a penalty amount

Base Rate Loan or Deposit Schedule Events


For base rate loans and deposits you can: Enter an interest settlement Change the principal, rate variation, minimum or maximum rate, and add-on rate Enter a rollover Enter interest and add-on adjustments Enter a penalty amount

Mark to Market Valuation


The system enables Money Market contracts to be revalued on the basis of the mark to market process, using current market interest rates, provided that a valid rate table has been set up on the Rate Table Definition (RTDEF) table and rates have been entered for it on the Market Rates (RATEA) table. Valuation takes place during overnight processing using the applicable rates, as they become effective, for each contract. Existing contracts are revalued, and new contracts are valued, each night and the amounts are made available for posting to unrealised profit/loss accounts. Where a rate has not been set up for a specific day, the system automatically interpolates the rate, using rates that have been entered for other days. On maturity or deletion of a contract, mark to market revaluation ceases and an adjustment is made to the unrealised profit/loss accounts. Note: The method of applying mark to market may be changed during the installation procedure to suit your own specific needs.

Penalty Charges
Early repayment of fixed term loans, or insufficient notice for withdrawal on a notice contract, often incur penalties. These penalties can be made in the following ways: Adjusting the interest amount due Rolling the interest into the principal Entering a penalty amount as a flat fee

38

3937 0135-930

Money Market Contracts

Withholding Tax
On Money Market contracts, interest can be withheld by the bank on deposits and on base rate deposit contracts to particular customers. This withholding tax is payable on contracts when: The principal amount is less than a predefined maximum amount (in sterling) The deposit is to be repaid within a specified number of calendar days from the start date The contract matures at call or at short notice The client is liable to withholding tax (set up on the Client Master)

The amount of tax payable at settlement is always calculated on the basis of the client's withholding tax liability at settlement date. For non-sterling deposits, liability for withholding tax is assessed using the mid-market exchange rate at contract start. This is only changed if a rollover occurs including a principal change. This situation is treated as a new contract start for withholding tax purposes. Back valued entries use the exchange rate on the date the contract was entered. Withholding tax is deducted from the interest on the settlement date and is maintained for future payment. Interest rates and amounts are entered and reported gross of withholding tax.

Interest Accrual After Due Date


This functionality is available if blueprint parameter BP-ACCRINT-BYDD has been set to "Y" (see "Blueprint Parameters" in the Guide to Setting Up). On the business day before a Money Market loan is due to mature, the system determines whether funds are available to pay the loan. If the funds are not available, then the contract will be rolled forward by one day if either the nostro account is a client account or a valid agent has been entered. The contract will be rolled forward on subsequent days until the funds are available. Interest accrual will continue on the loan until it is paid. Note: The following entries must be present on the General Purpose Narratives (GNARR) table, type LT: MMLN Money Market Fixed Rate Loan MMBL Money Market Base Rate Loan MMIL Money Market Index Rate Loan

Cost of Funds
Cost of Funds is a facility that allows you to calculate and report on the profit and loss arising due to all business activities carried out and all costs arising due to the funding of assets and liabilities. See "Cost of Funds" in the Guide to Setting Up. This calculation is reported on an accounting centre basis and reconciles with the monthly profit and loss statement of the institution. The INCOMESTMT - Income Statement report, see the Core On-Demand Reports Guide, groups accounting centres by area of business. Cost of Funds can be accrued using either one of the following two methods: Add-on Margin: This method is applicable for Money Market Fixed Loans and Deposits and allows you to enter an add-on rate for both loan contracts and deposit contracts. It is included in the gross interest rate, but is accrued and reported separately. The add-on rate can be changed at any time after the start date and before the maturity date of the contract. Funding Account: Funding accounts are defined for each product type so that the various product types can be funded under different conditions. The fundable balances derived from all transactions are taken to funding accounts from where the cost of funds is accrued. The profit or loss associated with a particular product will be ascertained by the relevant funding account set up for the product. See "Cost of Funds" in the Guide to Setting Up for details on setting up of funding accounts.

Confirmation and Payment Advices


Input confirmations are printed (or S.W.I.F.T. messages are generated) when a contract is entered. Confirmations and payment advices for subsequent events are produced a number of days in advance of the event (for each country). These subsequent confirmations are produced during the overnight processing. For each contract entered, you can specify the priority of the S.W.I.F.T. messages generated for that contract by making an entry in the 'Message Priority' field. If you leave this field blank, the default value selected at installation is used.

Money Market Contracts

Nostro and Agent Combinations for Money Market


The accounts between which payments are made are automatically identified, on the basis of the nostros and agents that have been set up for each particular contract giving rise to the notice or payment. Default nostro and agents may be allocated according to rules set up on the Nostro Settlement Defaults (NSDFM) and the Agent Settlement Defaults (AGDFM) tables. A nostro account is defined as our account with another bank. In order to correctly reflect any money held with another bank, a copy of the nostro account in its own books is maintained. Nostro accounts are set up using the Nostro Details (NSTRO) table. They are identified by a nostro number and currency or a nostro name and currency. An agent is defined as a third party responsible for paying or receiving funds on a contract. Agents are set up using the Agents Details (AGNTM) table. They are identified by an agent nickname. The Agents Details (AGNTM) table can also be populated from the BIC+ directory, provided by SWIFT. In this case, the Nickname field is set as the SWIFT address. The entry of settlement instructions also supports the use of non-standard settlement details. These are defined at contract level by entering the code NSTD in the Their Receive Agent field, and linking to the Non Standard Settlement Instructions (NSDTM) screen. For details of how to set up nostros and agents see the Settlements Guide. Nostros and Agents are specified when entering certain contracts under the Money Market module. In order that instructions for the transfer of funds are correctly generated (using either the S.W.I.F.T. network, if applicable, or printed messages), the system ensures that only valid combinations of nostros and agents can be specified for each contract. The following table lists and describes valid combinations of entries in the nostro and agent fields. Note the following: A nostro can be identified by either its name or number. The use of an Agent does not necessarily indicate that an account relationship exists between the bank and the agent. For example settlement messages may be sent by the bank to its pay nostro, with information for onward transmission to the client's agent. Similarly, settlement messages may be received from the client's agent by the bank's receive nostro, with information for onward transmission to the bank. Standard settlement instructions can be entered to use the default settings for the nostro and agent for the contract. These instructions can be applied to the contract by entering SSI in the required Receive/Pay Nostro/Agent fields. Following acceptance of the contract, whenever it is displayed whether for maintenance or inquiry, the entered field will display SSI not the agent name/number or nostro/number. SSI cannot be entered for an agent or nostro if the default has not been defined. When SSI has been entered for an agent or nostro, the default agent and nostro details can be displayed by double clicking on the SSI entry. This facility is only available when you are using the Graphic User Interface (GUI). For fuller details, see the Core Functions and Inquiries Guide.

Creating a Fiduciary Contract


A fiduciary contract is set up by using either the money market loan/deposit add screen or the money market base rate loan/deposit add screen. Only products that have been defined as fiduciary products on the Money Market Default Maintenance (MMDFM) screen may be used for fiduciary contracts. The loan side of the fiduciary contract must be created first; then the associated deposit contract or contracts may be created. The loan details are completed on the money market loan/deposit add screen or the money market base rate loan/deposit add screen in the same way as entering a money market contract. However, on completion, the money market loan/deposit add screen or the money market base rate loan/deposit add screen is refreshed ready for inputting the associated deposits. The deposit principal amount must be less than or equal to the starting loan principal amount. If the deposit principal amount is less than the starting principal amount, the screen is refreshed ready for the entry of further deposits. Fiduciary contracts are confirmed using the Fiduciary Loan Deposit Maintenance screen (FILDM). The fiduciary contract creation process is illustrated in the following flow.

Straight Through Processing (STP)


If your organisation is using Straight Through Processing (STP) method for entering Money Market contracts, enter the contract details as an outline deal as described in the Starter's Guide. STP applies defaults, performs the Add validation, allocates a contract number and adds the contract to the system without any manual intervention. If STP fails, the outline deal details can be found on the Outline Deal Queue (DEALQ) screen. The reason for the failure can be viewed using the Deal Inquiry (DEALI) screen.

Money Market Default Maintenance (MMDFM)


Use this screen to set up default details for a Money Market product type. The defaults that you enter here are used when a contract is entered by any of the following methods: If you have completed the Contract Input (LEAD1) screen, the product defaults are automatically displayed on the appropriate contract deal entry screen If you are entering a contract via the Outline Deal Queue (DEALQ) screen, the product defaults are automatically displayed on the appropriate contract deal entry screen If you have displayed a blank contract deal entry screen, then the defaults can be recalled by entering:

Product Type on the blank contract deal entry screen and clicking Add

Product Type on the blank contract deal entry screen and pressing Transmit The availability of defaults for a product saves key strokes when entering a deal and helps to standardise details across deals involving the same product. Default details include currency, periods and brokerage details. Any of the defaults recalled onto a contract entry screen may be overwritten. The defaults that you set up on the Money Market Default Maintenance (MMDFM) screen are associated with a Product Type. Product Types are defined on the Product Types Maintenance (PRTPM) screen, see the Core Functions and Inquiries Guide for more information. Note: If the product will be used for fiduciary loans, you must complete the Fiduciary Product and Fiduciary Deposit Product fields.

Money Market Fixed Rate Loan/Deposit Screens


The following screens are used to define and maintain fixed rate money market contracts. For general information on money market contracts see All Money Market Contracts in Section 3. Money Market Loan / Deposit - Add (MMLDA) Money Market Loan / Deposit - Change (MMLDC) Money Market Loan / Deposit - Inquire or Delete (MMLDI)

Money Market Loan/Deposit Add (MMLDA)


The Money Market Loan/Deposit Add (MMLDA) screen is used to define money market loan and deposit contracts with an interest rate that is not linked to a floating rate. When entering a fixed rate loan or deposit contract the following rules apply: The accrual type can be either First or Last (see Interest Accrual in Section 3) A contract can be rolled over automatically using the Roll Maturity Frequency fields (see Automatic Rollover Facility in Section 3) Only valid combinations of nostros and agents can be entered in the Our Pay Nostro, Their Rcv Agent, Our Rcv Nostro and Their Pay Agent fields (see Nostro and Agent Combinations for Money Market in Section 3)

Money Market Loan/Deposit Change (MMLDC)


The Money Market Loan/Deposit Change (MMLDC) screen can be used to change non-financial details of a money market fixed rate loan/deposit contract at any point before the contract matures. It cannot be used to perform a direct change to the financial details of the contract, such as the principal amount and the interest rate. Changes to these details can only be effected by scheduling an event using the Money Market Loan/Deposit Schedule Add (MMLSA) screen. Changes to settlement details using the Money Market Loan/Deposit Change (MMLDC) screen can only be made on the day the contract is input, or against unstarted (future dated) contracts. Any other changes can be made using the Money Market Loan/Deposit Schedule Change (MMLSC) screen. However, you are allowed to change the add-on rate for the contract. This change is allowed because the add-on rate includes the cost of funds for the product that varies with the cost incurred to carry out the business. You can use the Money Market Loan/Deposit Change (MMLDC) screen to change the maturity date of the contract. This causes a change in the interest settlement because the interest is calculated on a simple interest basis and the final settlement can be either on or after the maturity date. If required, the settlement method and settlement account can be changed using this screen. You can also use the Money Market Loan/Deposit Change (MMLDC) screen to initiate conversion of an in (national) currency to euro. (See Euro Related Information in the Core Functions and Inquiries Guide.) The following figure shows an example of the Money Market Loan/Deposit Change screen.

Money Market Loan/Deposit Inquire/Delete (MMLDI)


The Money Market Loan/Deposit Inquire/Delete (MMLDI) screen can be used to perform an inquiry on any money market fixed rate loan/deposit contract. After performing an inquiry on a contract you can: Copy it Delete or replace it. If the contract maturity date has been reached, then it cannot be deleted unless the blueprint parameter BP-CNT-MATDEL-DYS (see the Guide to Setting Up) has been used to specify that matured contracts can be deleted. Using the blueprint parameter you specify the period after maturity during which a contract may be deleted.

If a contract is deleted then all accruals and settlements are backed out. Daily accruals are backed out during overnight processing on the day of deletion. Monthly accruals are backed out during overnight processing at the next month-end. The Money Market Loan/Deposit Inquire/Delete (MMLDI) screen has the same layout as the Money Market Loan/Deposit Change (MMLDC) screen.

Money Market Fixed Rate Loan/Deposit Schedule Screens


Once a money market fixed rate loan/deposit has been defined, using the Money Market Loan/Deposit Add (MMLDA) screen, the basis of the original contract cannot be changed. However, it may become necessary to make changes to the schedule associated with the contract. The following screens are used for this purpose. Money Market Loan / Deposit Schedule - Add (MMLSA) Money Market Loan / Deposit Schedule - Change (MMLSC) Money Market Loan / Deposit Schedule - Inquire or Delete (MMLSI)

See Money Market Schedule Events in Section 3 for an introduction to fixed rate loan/deposit schedules.

Money Market Loan/Deposit Schedule Add (MMLSA)


The Money Market Loan/Deposit Schedule Add (MMLSA) screen is used to schedule events that change a money market fixed rate loan/deposit contract schedule, between its start and maturity dates. The information that can be entered for a loan or deposit schedule is dependent on the diary type selected in the Diary Type field. The diary type Interest Settlement (IS) is used to enter the following information: An interest settlement event An interest adjustment A penalty An add-on adjustment A specific nostro/agent combination for the settlement of an event

The diary type Rate or Principal Change (RP) is used to enter the following information: A new interest rate A new add-on rate A principal change A specific nostro/agent combination for the settlement of an event

For principal changes, you must indicate whether the change is a Repayment or an Extension in the 'Result of Change' field: Select Repayment or Extension

Enter R for Repayment or E for Extension The diary type Rollover (RL) is used to enter the combination of an Interest Settlement and a Rate or Principal change on the same day. For this event, the Interest Payment Type indicates whether the interest is rolled into the principal or is paid as normal:

414

3937 0135-930

Money Market Screens

Select Rolled or Normal

Enter R for Rolled or N for Normal If you wish to roll over the maturity date of the contract, use the New Maturity Date field to enter the new date. If you do so, you must enter the original maturity date in the Value Date field. This enables you to update the details of the original schedule by changing the original maturity event to an interest settlement, principal change or rollover event. If you use this screen to change a rate, the new rate will apply thereafter, until any subsequent change in principal is recorded, in which case the rate will revert to that which was entered on the Money Market Loan/Deposit Add (MMLDA) screen. Only valid combinations of nostros and agents can be entered in the Our Pay Nostro, Their Rcv Agent, Our Rcv Nostro and Their Pay Agent fields (see Nostro and Agent Combinations for Money Market in Section 3). When Apply Nostro/Agent to Forward Schedule is not selected, the settlement details will only be applied to the entered diary. When it is selected, settlement details will be applied to the entered diary and to all subsequent diaries including the maturity (MA) diary. Where applicable within the forward dated schedule postings, confirmations and payment advices will be reversed and re-issued.

Money Market Loan/Deposit Schedule Change (MMLSC)


The Money Market Loan/Deposit Schedule Change (MMLSC) screen is used to change the details of fixed rate loan/deposit schedule events that have already been added using the Money Market Loan/Deposit Schedule Add (MMLSA) screen. A scheduled event can be changed if its value date has not been reached. Note: If the value date of a contract diary event has been reached, then it cannot be updated unless blueprint parameter BP-BACK-VAL-DT (see the Guide to Setting Up) has been used to specify that actioned events can be updated. Using this parameter you specify the period after the value date during which an event may be updated.

Money Market Base Rate Loan/Deposit Change (MMBRC)


The Money Market Base Rate Loan/Deposit Change (MMBRC) screen can be used to change nonfinancial details of a money market base rate loan/deposit contract at any point before the contract matures. It cannot be used to perform a direct change to the financial details of the contract, such as the principal amount and the rate variation. Changes to these details can only be effected by scheduling an event using the Money Market Base Rate Schedule Add (MMBSA) screen. Changes to settlement details using the Money Market Base Rate Loan/Deposit Change (MMBRC) screen can only be made on the day the contract is input, or against unstarted (future dated) contracts. Any other changes can be made using the Money Market Base Rate Schedule Change (MMBSC) screen. However, you are allowed to change the add-on rate for the contract. This change is allowed because the add-on rate includes the cost of funds for the product that varies with the cost incurred to carry out the business. You can use the Money Market Base Rate Loan/Deposit Change (MMBRC) screen to change the maturity date of the contract. This causes a change in the interest settlement because the interest is calculated on a simple interest basis and the final settlement can be either on or after the maturity date. If required, the settlement method and settlement account can be changed using this screen. You can also use the Money Market Base Rate Loan/Deposit Change (MMBRC) screen to initiate conversion of an in (national) currency to euro.

Select Rolled or Normal

Enter R for Rolled or N for Normal If you wish to roll over the maturity date of the contract, use the New Maturity Date field to enter the new date. If you do so, you must enter the original maturity date in the Value Date field. This enables you to update the details of the original schedule by changing the original maturity event to an interest settlement, principal change or rollover event. If you use this screen to change a rate, the new rate will apply thereafter, until any subsequent change in principal is recorded, in which case the rate will revert to that which was entered on the Money Market Base Rate Loan/Deposit Add (MMBRA) screen. Only valid combinations of nostros and agents can be entered in the Our Pay Nostro, Their Rcv Agent, Our Rcv Nostro and Their Pay Agent fields (see Nostro and Agent Combinations for Money Market in Section 3).

For further information on money market index rate contracts see All Money Market Contracts and Index Rate Loans and Deposits in Section 3.

Money Market Index Rate Loan/Deposit Add (MMIRA)


The Money Market Index Rate Loan/Deposit Add (MMIRA) screen is used to define money market loan and deposit contracts with an interest rate that is linked to an index rate. When entering an index rate loan or deposit contract the following rules apply: The Rate Identifier, such as 3MGBLIBOR, must have been set up using the Rate Definition Maintenance (RTDEF) screen, see the Core Functions and Inquires Guide for more information The accrual type can be either First or Last (see Interest Accrual in Section 3) A contract can be rolled over automatically using the Roll Maturity Frequency fields (see Automatic Rollover Facility in Section 3) Only valid combinations of nostros and agents can be entered in the Our Pay Nostro, Their Rcv Agent, Our Rcv Nostro and Their Pay Agent fields (see Nostro and Agent Combinations for Money Market in Section 3)

Non standard settlement instructions for the payment agent may be created by linking through to the Non Standard Settlement Instructions (NSTDM) screen (see the Settlements Guide). To do this: Enter NSTD in the Their Receive Agent field and Click Settlement Instructions.

Money Market Index Rate Loan/Deposit Change (MMIRC)


The Money Market Index Rate Loan/Deposit Change (MMIRC) screen can be used to change nonfinancial details of a money market base rate loan/deposit contract at any point before the contract matures. It cannot be used to perform a direct change to the financial details of the contract, such as the principal amount and the rate variation. Changes to these details can only be effected by scheduling an event using the Money Market Index Rate Schedule Add (MMISA) screen. Changes to settlement details using the Money Market Index Rate Loan/Deposit Change (MMIRC) screen can only be made on the day the contract is input, or against unstarted (future dated) contracts. Any other changes can be made using the Money Market Index Rate Schedule Change (MMISC) screen. However, you are allowed to change the add-on rate for the contract. This change is allowed because the add-on rate includes the cost of funds for the product that varies with the cost incurred to carry out the business. You can use the Money Market Index Rate Loan/Deposit Change (MMIRC) screen to change the maturity date of the contract. This causes a change in the interest settlement because the interest is calculated on a simple interest basis and the final settlement can be either on or after the maturity date. If required, the settlement method and settlement account can be changed using this screen. You can also use the Money Market Index Rate Loan/Deposit Change (MMIRC) screen to initiate conversion of an in (national) currency to euro. (See Euro Related Information in the Core Functions and Inquiries Guide.)

Money Market Index Rate Loan/Deposit Inquire/Delete (MMIRI)


The Money Market Index Rate Loan/Deposit Inquire/Delete (MMIRI) screen can be used to perform an inquiry on any money market index rate loan/deposit contract. After performing an inquiry on a contract you can: Copy it Delete or replace it. If the contract maturity date has been reached, then it cannot be deleted unless the blueprint parameter BP-CNT-MATDEL-DYS (see the Guide to Setting Up) has been used to specify that matured contracts can be deleted. Using the blueprint parameter you specify the period after maturity during which a contract may be deleted.

If a contract is deleted then all accruals and settlements are backed out. Daily accruals are backed out during overnight processing on the day of deletion. Monthly accruals are backed out during overnight processing at the next month-end. The Money Market Index Rate Loan/Deposit Inquire/Delete (MMIRI) screen has the same layout as the Money Market Index Rate Loan/Deposit Change (MMIRC) screen.

Money Market Index Rate Loan/Deposit Schedule Screens


Once a money market index rate loan/deposit has been defined, using the Money Market Index Rate Loan/Deposit Add (MMIRA) screen, the basis of the original contract cannot be changed. However, it may become necessary to make changes to the schedule associated with the contract. The following screens are used for this purpose. Money Market Index Rate Schedule - Add (MMISA) Money Market Index Rate Schedule - Change (MMISC) Money Market Index Rate Schedule - Inquire or Delete (MMISI)

See Money Market Schedule Events in Section 3 for an introduction to index rate loan/deposit schedules.

Money Market Index Rate Schedule Add (MMISA)


The Money Market Index Rate Schedule Add (MMISA) screen is used to schedule events that change a money market index rate loan/deposit contract schedule, between its start and maturity dates. The information that can be entered for a loan or deposit schedule is dependent on the diary type selected in the Diary Type field. The diary type Interest Settlement (IS) is used to enter the following information: An interest settlement event An interest adjustment An add-on adjustment A penalty A specific nostro/agent combination for the settlement of an event

The diary type Rate or Principal Change (RP) is used to enter the following information: A new interest rate variation A new add-on rate A principal change A new minimum or maximum rate A specific nostro/agent combination for the settlement of an event

For principal changes, you must indicate whether the change is a Repayment or an Extension in the 'Result of Change' field: Select Repayment or Extension

Enter R for Repayment or E for Extension The diary type Rollover (RL) is used to enter the combination of an Interest Settlement and a Rate or Principal change on the same day. For this event, the Interest Payment Type indicates whether the interest is rolled into the principal or is paid as normal:

432

3937 0135-930

Money Market Screens

Select Rolled or Normal

Enter R for Rolled or N for Normal If you wish to roll over the maturity date of the contract, use the New Maturity Date field to enter the new date. If you do so, you must enter the original maturity date in the Value Date field. This enables you to update the details of the original schedule by changing the original maturity event to an interest settlement, principal change or rollover event. If you use this screen to change a rate, the new rate will apply thereafter, until any subsequent change in principal is recorded, in which case the rate will revert to that which was entered on the Money Market Index Rate Loan/Deposit Add (MMIRA) screen. If you set the Refix Index Rate field to Yes, then the index rate in force at the fixing date for the event is applied, and the fixing status is set. If this field is not set to Yes, then the index rate in force from the previous event is applied and the fixing status is not set. When an event is added on the Money Market Index Rate Schedule Add (MMISA) screen, the index rates on subsequent events are not affected immediately. It is expected that index rates are entered into the system daily, so that subsequent diaries from a newly added event are updated by the End of Day Rate Fixing (FIXRATE) report. For more information on this report, see Overnight Reports Banking in the Overnight Reports Guide. An event with the rate fixing indicator of Estimated, Firm, or Prior will have the index rate fixed by the FIXRATE report. Where the rate fixing indicator is not set, then the index rate in force from the previous event is applied. For more information on the rate fixing indicator, see the Diary by Contract Number (DICNI)screen in the Core Functions and Inquiries Guide. Only valid combinations of nostros and agents can be entered in the Our Pay Nostro, Their Rcv Agent, Our Rcv Nostro and Their Pay Agent fields (see Nostro and Agent Combinations for Money Market in Section 3). When Apply Nostro/Agent to Forward Schedule is not selected, the settlement details will only be applied to the entered diary. When it is selected, settlement details will be applied to the entered diary and to all subsequent diaries including the maturity (MA) diary. Where applicable within the forward dated schedule postings, confirmations and payment advices will be reversed and re-issued. The following figure shows an example of the Money Market Index Rate Schedule Add screen.

Money Market Index Rate Schedule Change (MMISC)


The Money Market Index Rate Schedule Change (MMISC) screen is used to change the details of index rate loan/deposit schedule events that have already been added using the Money Market Index Rate Schedule Add (MMISA) screen. A scheduled event can be changed if its value date has not been reached. Note: If the value date of a contract diary event has been reached, then it cannot be updated unless blueprint parameter BP-BACK-VAL-DT (see the Guide to Setting Up) has been used to specify that actioned events can be updated. Using this parameter you specify the period after the value date during which an event may be updated.

This field should be used in conjunction with the "Related Contract" field to link the two contracts that comprise the Divided Swap. A selection is only relevant if the contract is a divided swap. Exchange Rate 1. For Foreign Exchange deals, it is the exchange rate for the deal. If the exchange rate exceeds one of the width bands set up for the currency, you must enter a Wide Code (W) or Management Code (M) in the Width Override field to accept the deal. For Foreign Exchange Swaps, this is the exchange rate between the bought and sold currencies for the near and far end of the deal. For Foreign Exchange deals, the exchange rate cannot be entered if the deal is between two in currencies or between an in currency and the euro. In this case the system gets the exchange rate from the default EMU exchange group. (See Euro Related Information in the Core Functions and Inquiries Guide.)

Appendix A Calculations
Introduction
This appendix gives the calculations used by the system.

Interest
Interest = Principal x Rate per annum x Fraction of year

This simple interest calculation applies to client accounts, money market loans and deposits, commercial loans, commercial loan commitment fees, certificates of deposit and foreign exchange inter-accounting centre deals.

Foreign Exchange Calculations


In order to simplify the formulae for foreign exchange, the following notation has been used:

Forward Rate
The following formula is used to calculate the exchange rate to convert a forward position:

MR + FP = FR
For contracts that mature on a date that do not have a specifically entered forward point, an estimated forward point is calculated using straight line interpolation. Calculated Forward Point is defined as:
FP = ( AFP - BFP ) x ( MAD - BFD ) + BFP ( AFD - BFD)

Profit Currency Determination


Three currencies are specified on each contract: bought, sold and deal currency. The following rules determine which currency will be used as the profit currency for the contract:

If one of the bought or sold currencies involved in the deal is the base currency, then this is taken as the profit currency and the other currency is taken as the non profit currency If neither the bought or sold currency equals the base currency, whichever currency is the same as the deal currency is taken as the profit currency, and the other currency is taken as the non profit currency

Profit/Loss Determination
The amount of profit or loss produced by a foreign exchange deal is calculated by subtracting the amount calculated using prevailing rates on the deal date from the contracted amount. The following rules determine whether this amount is a revenue or an expense: 1. 2. 3. 4. If the amount is positive and you are selling the profit currency, then it is an expense If the amount is positive and you are buying the profit currency, then it is a revenue If the amount is negative and you are selling the profit currency, then it is a revenue If the amount is negative and you are buying the profit currency, then it is an expense

For example, for a forward Foreign Exchange Market contract maturing in seven days, a seven day (or alternatively one week) market rate might be selected (See the Core Functions and Inquiries Guide for information on entering market rates). All forward time periods for the selection of market rates are translated to days, so that a mix of days, weeks, months and years can be used. However, because some months have 30 days, and others 31 days, with February having 28 or 29, the system standardises on 30 days as the forward period for one month; three months becomes 90 days, etc. Similarly, 365 days is always used for years. One week is of course seven days. So a Foreign Exchange contract maturing in 90 days would be discounted at the market rate for either 90 days or three months. However, the number of days to the maturity of a contract will only occasionally coincide with an entered rate. Interpolation is used to calculate the rate to apply between two entered forward periods. Whilst the prior and later rates are selected on the 30 day month etc. basis, the linear interpolation is calculated using the actual number of days forward from the input date of the market rate. For example, the actual number of days forward for a three month rate entered on 15 February 2000 (a leap year) is 29 + 31 + 30 = 90 days. For a three month rate entered on 15 June it is 30 + 31 + 31 = 92 days. Hence it is important that market rates are updated daily, even if the rate is unchanged. Consider the discount rate for an FXMK contract maturing on 7 April 2001, being revalued on 8 June 2000 (303 days ahead) with prior and later market rates entered on that day for six months (5.75% rate with 180 day selection and 183 actual days) and 12 months (6% rate with 360 day selection and 365 actual days). The discount rate interpolation calculation is:

5.75% + ((6 5.75) * (303 183) / (365 183))% =

5.75% + (0.25 *120 / 182)% =

5.75% + 0.16483516% = 5.91483516%.
