Factor Details



Factor Rate

1696

Specifies the actual factor to use for paydown processing.

Principal Loss Factor

2926

Specifies the loss factor used to calculate the principal write down or write up. The loss factor is based on the loss amount divided by the original face. The loss factor is positive for a writedown and negative for a writeup. If you enter a value of zero or leave this field blank, the paydown/payup follows the normal process where Eagle Accounting treats the portion of a paydown that is the result of a loss (write down) at a price of zero. Processing for the loss factor depends on how you set the Principal Loss on Paydown Processing Flag field (tag 2925) at the entity level. Options include:

  • Accelerated Amortization. Eagle Accounting reduces the cost of the position by the total reduction of shares. The offset to cost is accelerated amortization.

  • Realized Gain/Loss. Eagle Accounting treats the portion of a paydown that is the result of a loss (write down) at a price of zero. The principal loss factor is zero.

  • Share Adjustment. Eagle Accounting treats the portion of paydown that is a result of a loss (write down) as a share adjustment (increase or decrease) and does not adjust cost for the loss portion.

Corporate Action Type

1728

Indicates the business name of the corporate action. The only valid value for a final factor is Factor.

Corporate Action Notes

1740

Specifies user-defined information about the corporate action.

Paydown Trade Flat

16994

Determines if traded interest is calculated on the closed quantity of a paydown. This allows for the final factor to be processed on a day other than the maturity date. Options include:

  •  Yes. Default. There is no traded interest on the paydown and the security continues to earn zero on the closed quantity through cash payment date.

  •  No. There is traded interest on the paydown, which is reflected on the ledger and in cash.

This election is similar to the Trading Flat (tag 3949) option on the security master. The difference is that the Trading Flat flag at the security master applies to all trades and the Paydown Trade Flat election applies to paydown events.
