====Commentary====
Equity Swap Transactions can be settled either by reference to {{eqderivprov|Price Return}} or {{eqderivprov|Total Return}}, but not [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voodoo_Child_(Slight_Return) Slight Return].
 
'''{{eqderivprov|Price Return}}''': The {{eqderivprov|Price Return}} is the subtraction of the {{eqderivprov|Settlement Price}} from the {{eqderivprov|Initial Price}}, and
*(if the underlier ''increases'' in value over the life of the Transaction) be a '''positive''' number; or
*(if the underlier ''decreases'' in value over the life of the Transaction) be a '''negative''' number.
 
If it's positive, the {{eqderivprov|Equity Amount Payer}} pays it tot he {{eqderivprov|Equity Amount Receiver}}. If it's negative, the {{eqderivprov|Equity Amount Receiver}} pays the absolute value to the {{eqderivprov|Equity Amount Payer}}.
 
'''{{eqderivprov|Total Return}}''': The {{eqderivprov|Total Return}} formulation is:
{{eqderivprov|Equity Notional Amount}} * ({{eqderivprov|Settlement Price}}/{{eqderivprov|Initial Price}})
 
Since both numerator and denominator must be positive the Total Return cannot be negative, but may be greater or less than 100% (and so can be converted into a positive or negative number by subtracing from 1).
