Differences between CSA versions

Template:Nycsa capsule 13(c)(v) A provision that assuredly goes into the I’m sorry I asked category. Relevant to the calculation of Value of a gentleman’s Credit Support Balance. An observation one might make here is that if you have a cash-only CSA and as long as you only accept the Major Currencies, then this entire Rube Goldberg provision is unnecessary: The Valuation Percentage will (most likely) be 100%, the FX Haircut Percentage will be zero, so the definition of value that these definitions feed into amounts to the following:

The amount (call it n) multiplied by the sum of 100% minus zero%, or
n * (100% - 0%), or
n * 100%, or
n.

Sigh.
