In the Amortization & Accretion Rules panels, you can specify a value for the Amortization/Accretion Method (tag 113) field. 

For this field, you select the type of amortization method to apply for an entity default, Processing Security Type, Amortization Accretion Rule Type, or Security ID Level.

Eagle Accounting supports the following Amortization/Accretion Methods:

  • CY1. Constant Yield 1
  • CY2. Constant Yield 2
  • SL. Straight Line
  • SLA. Straight Line Actual
  • LY1. Level Yield
  • LY2. Level Yield 2
  • LD1. Level Yield Daily Compounding 1
  • LD2. Level Yield Daily Compounding 2
  • None. No Amortization
Info

For Average Cost portfolios, Eagle Accounting supports only certain amortization methods. For more information, see Understand Average Cost Amortization.

Scenario

Be aware that regardless of the Amortization Method you select (excluding None), Eagle Accounting amortizes to the target redemption price. For example, if you amortize the following scenario from Settlement Date to Maturity Date, each amortization method reaches 100,000 in total amortization, so there is no gain/loss at time of maturity. The difference between the methods is how they reach 100,000.

Note that the CY1, CY2, LY1, and LY2 methods have the same period-to-date values calculated. This occurs because:

  1. In the prior scenario, there is no traded interest. Constant Yield amortization takes traded interest into account when applying amortization, but if you apply Level Yield amortization, it does not take traded interest into account.
  2. Constant Yield 1 and Constant Yield 2 always calculate to the same period-to-date values, but they apply different methodology to derive the daily delta.
  3. Level Yield 1 and Level Yield 2 calculate the same period-to-date information when you purchase the security with full coupon periods.

Scenario for Accrued Interest

If there was accrued interest in a scenario, there would be different values calculated for CY1, CY2, LY1, and LY2:

As you can see, Level Yield and Constant Yield have different period-to-date information. (This differs from the previous scenario, where CY1, CY2, LY1, and LY2 had the same period-to-date values,)
