The Swing Decision Rule is a global rule that determines whether a fund applies swing NAV adjustment to accounting. Creating a swing decision rule involves setting up the swing election, estimated evaluation, and threshold value fields. You first need to create a swing decision rule for funds that are eligible for swing pricing. You can attach a swing decision rule to multiple funds.

Create Swing Decision Rules

In the Create Swing Decision Rule panel, you can create a new swing decision rule for swing pricing.

To create a swing decision rule:

  1. In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Setup > Fund Accounting > Swing Pricing > Create Swing Decision Rule.
    You see the Create Swing Decision Rule panel.

  2. Complete the options on the panel.

  3. Click Submit.

Description

Add Swing NAV Decision Rule

 

 

Rule Name

4846

Specifies the name of the swing decision rule you are adding.

Swing Election

1142

Specifies the type of swing pricing. Options include:

  • Partial. The fund loads a daily cash flow estimate and compares it to a predefined threshold. If the estimated net cash flow exceeds the threshold, the fund applies the swing factor and calculates a swing NAV adjustment for the day.

  • Full. The fund always applies the swing factor and calculates a daily swing NAV adjustment.

Estimate Evaluation

11760

Specifies the fund evaluation criteria for estimated cash flow. Options include:

  • Inflow. The fund applies the Ask swing factor and calculates the swing NAV adjustment if the estimated cash flow is a positive inflow.

  • Outflow. The fund applies the Bid swing factor and calculates the swing NAV adjustment if the estimated cash flow is a negative outflow.

  • Netflow. The fund applies the Bid or Ask swing factor and calculates the swing NAV adjustment when the estimated cash flow is a negative outflow or positive inflow, respectively. This is the most widely used option.

Threshold Method

16613

Specifies whether the fund uses a percentage or cash amount value to establish the threshold for estimated cash flows. This field appears if you set the Swing Election field to Partial. Options include:

  • Percent. The fund uses a percent value to determine Bid and Ask thresholds for estimated cash flows.

  • Cashvalue. The fund uses a base cash amount value to determine Bid and Ask thresholds for estimated cash flows.

Threshold Value Bid

8658

Specifies the Bid threshold value for determining swing decisions when the cash flow is negative (net redemption). This field appears if you set the Swing Election field to Partial and the Estimate Evaluation field to Outflow or Netflow.
NOTE: You should enter a negative percent or cash value for majority of swing to BID cases.

Threshold Value Ask

8660

Specifies the Ask threshold value for determining swing decisions when the cash flow is positive (net subscription). This field appears if you set the Swing Election field to Partial and the Estimate Evaluation field to Inflow or Netflow.

Effective Date

1109

Specifies the date on which a threshold takes effect. You can primarily use this field to project new thresholds for a future date while still using existing threshold for the current day.

Swing to Accounting

9549

Specifies whether the swing adjustment posts to the ledger in Eagle Accounting. Options include:

  • Inside. The calculated swing NAV adjustment posts to the ledger in Eagle Accounting, impacting nightly distribution yields and next-day expenses that use prior day Total Net Assets (TNA) components. 

  • Outside. The calculated swing NAV adjustment does not post to the ledger in Eagle Accounting and has no impact on distribution yields and next-day expenses.
