If you think of an ISDA transaction as comprising offsetting payment streams, these fall into one of three places: | |||
*'''Been and gone''': Already paid: settled, gone, checked into the hereafter; on permanent location in that foreign country we call the past; | |||
*'''Yet to come''': Due to be paid, or delivered, at a specified date in the future. Perhaps fixed; perhaps yet to be determined, but conceptually still out there. It is, conventionally, by off setting the provisional present value of these future cashflows, that we value “the {{isdaprov|Transaction}}” — this is what we call its “[[Replacement Transaction - ISDA Provision|replacement cost]]”. | |||
*That weird inter-regnum of payments whose due date has passed, and who ''should have'' emigrated to that foreign country but, for whatever reason — either through inattention, inability, defiance, or the affordances of Section {{isdaprov|2(a)(iii)}} — they have not yet been made, so they need to be accounted for over and above the “replacement” value of the trade. | |||
They are of interest in two cases: Default — clearly a significant possibility where a party is not meetings it oblighations as they fall due; and when taking credit support under the CSA, because they are of interest in calculating ones {{vmcsaprov|Exposure}}. | |||
