If you think of an ISDA | If you think of an ISDA {{isdaprov|Transaction}} as comprising offsetting payment streams, these payments fall into one of three [[ontological]] categories: | ||
*'''Been and gone''': | *'''Been and gone''': Those that are already paid: settled, gone, checked into the hereafter; on permanent location in that foreign country we call the past — we care less about these; they are but a fossil record: they pose no risk, attract no capital and excite no prospects of revenue or compensation. | ||
*'''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]]”. | *'''Yet to come''': Due to be paid, or delivered, at a specified date in the future.

{{isdaprov|Unpaid Amount}}s are of interest in two cases: | |||
* ''Default'' — obviously, they a significant possibility where a party is not meetings it obligations as they fall due; and | |||
* ''When taking credit support'' — because they must be remembered when calculating ones {{vmcsaprov|Exposure}}. | |||
