===How {{eqderivprov|Equity Notional Reset}} works=== | |||
''Strap yourselves in, kids!'' | |||
A beginner’s guide to the complex and tortuous world of what happens when your {{eqderivprov|Equity Notional Amount}} is subject to {{eqderivprov|Equity Notional Reset}}. | |||
The long | The short version’s really quite easy: You just restrike the trade at the market value, and pay out the difference in the value of the underlier over the reset period. As follows: | ||
*If {{eqderivprov|Equity Notional Reset}} ({{eqderivprov|5.10}}) applies, then on each Cash Settlement Payment Date you have to adjust the Equity Notional Amount by the Equity Amount. | *On each {{eqderivprov|Cash Settlement Payment Date}}, you pay the difference between the prevailing {{eqderivprov|Initial Price}} (being the {{eqderivprov|Equity Notional Amount}} ''before'' the [[CSPD]]) and the present market value of the stock ''on'' the [[CSPD]] (the {{eqderivprov|Final Price}}). | ||
*You then adjust the {{eqderivprov|Equity Notional Amount}} to be equal to that {{eqderivprov|Final Price}}. | |||
*When the next [[CSPD]] rolls around, the new {{eqderivprov|Equity Notional Amount}} is the {{eqderivprov|Initial Price}} and you do it all over again. | |||
The long version’s a bit of a ball-breaker: | |||
*If {{eqderivprov|Equity Notional Reset}} ({{eqderivprov|5.10}}) applies, then on each {{eqderivprov|Cash Settlement Payment Date}} you have to adjust the {{eqderivprov|Equity Notional Amount}} by the {{eqderivprov|Equity Amount}}. | |||
*The {{eqderivprov|Equity Amount}} ({{eqderivprov|8.7}}) equals the {{eqderivprov|Equity Notional Amount}} times the {{eqderivprov|Rate of Return}}. | *The {{eqderivprov|Equity Amount}} ({{eqderivprov|8.7}}) equals the {{eqderivprov|Equity Notional Amount}} times the {{eqderivprov|Rate of Return}}. | ||
*The {{eqderivprov|Rate of Return}} ({{eqderivprov|5.7}}) is (({{eqderivprov|Final Price}} - {{eqderivprov|Initial Price}})/{{eqderivprov|Initial Price}}) * any{{eqderivprov|Multiplier}} | *The {{eqderivprov|Rate of Return}} ({{eqderivprov|5.7}}) is (({{eqderivprov|Final Price}} - {{eqderivprov|Initial Price}})/{{eqderivprov|Initial Price}}) * any {{eqderivprov|Multiplier}} | ||
*The Final Price is the market value of the Share on the Valuation Date | *The {{eqderivprov|Final Price}} is the market value of the {{eqderivprov|Share}} on the {{eqderivprov|Valuation Date}} | ||
*Initial Price is the price specified in the confirm (as adjusted by this glorious mechanic). | *{{eqderivprov|Initial Price}} is the price specified in the confirm (as adjusted by this glorious mechanic). | ||
*You pay out the {{eqderivprov|Equity Amount}} on the {{eqderivprov|Cash Settlement Payment Date}}, and adjust the {{eqderivprov|Equity Notional Amount}} accordingly. | |||
It’s like converting a posted [[variation margin]] into an absolute obligation by restriking the {{eqderivprov|Transaction}}. |
