SMF Earning Time Period



Begin Date

220

Specifies the first day the earnings time period becomes effective. The beginning date corresponds to either a reset date for changes to an underlying index or index offset or coupon date for all other changes.
The effective date of the earliest or initial time period entry you create must have a begin date that is equal to the earlier of the dated date or the issue date of the security. Each begin date should start one day after the end date of the preceding time period.

End Date

221

Specifies the last effective day for the earnings time period. You can leave this value blank for the last entry for a security.

Coupon

70

Specifies the rate at which the security pays interest. It is expressed as an accrual rate. A value of zero is required for zero coupon bonds.

Coupon Type Code

97

Indicates the type of coupon associated with the security. Options include:

  • Fixed Rate. The security has fixed coupon dates and has a fixed coupon rate to calculate the coupon for use in earnings.
  • Floating Rate. The security has fixed coupon dates and uses a variable rate that is based on an underlying index and index offset to calculate the coupon to use for earnings. You must enter the rate in the Variable Rate table.
  • Inverse Floater. The security has fixed coupon dates and uses a variable rate whose coupon rate is calculated inversely to the underlying index to which it is attached. When you select this value, the system displays the following fields: Inverse Floater Rate, Inverse Floater Multiple, Underlying Issue Name, Underlying Asset ID, and Index Offset. You must enter the rate in the Variable Rate table.
  • Step Rate. The security has fixed coupon dates and uses a variable rate based on the security identifier to calculate the coupon for use in earnings. You must enter the rate in the Variable Rate table. The system recognizes this option as a step bond (also called a step coupon bond, step up bond, or step down bond).
  • Unscheduled Variable Rate. The security has unscheduled payments and accrues interest based on the rate you enter in the Variable Rate table.
  • Variable Rate. The security has fixed coupon dates and uses a variable rate based on the security identifier to calculate the coupon for use in earnings. You must enter the rate in the Variable Rate table.

For total return swaps and interest rate swaps, this field represents the spread used to track spread changes on non-coupon dates. For more information, see Calculate Earnings for Swaps When the Spread Changes Between Coupon Dates.
