Book Close Trades for Buy Sellback/Sell Buyback Securities

In the Close Buy Sellback/Sell Buyback panel, you can close out a Buy Sellback or Sell Buyback position prior to its maturity date. It may become necessary to close out a Buy Sellback or Sell Buyback position prior to its maturity date in rare situations due to the default of the counterparty or the issuer of the underlying collateral, or due to any other exceptional circumstances.

To manually book a close trade for a buy sellback/sell buyback security:

1. In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Transactions > Trades > Buy or Sell Buybacks > Close Buy/Sellback. 
   You see the Close Buy/Sellback panel.

The following are the unique options in the Close Buy Sellback panel. See the Open Buy/Sellback Panel Options section for more information about other options. 

Accounting Information

Position Par Value

122

Displays the current quantity of the position.

Par Value/Current Face

40

Displays the current face value of the security.

Lot Selection Method

27

Specifies the lot selection method the system uses to relieve (sell) lots of a security held by the entity. Options include:

• First In First Out (FIFO). Lots acquired first are sold first. The oldest lot is sold first based on the holding date. If you set the accounting basis Cost Basis Covered Indicator field (tag 2818) to Y, unknown cost lots are relieved first. The oldest cost lot is sold first based on the holding date.
• Last In First Out (LIFO). Lots acquired last are sold first. The most recent lot is sold first based on the holding date. If multiple lots share the same holding date, the lot with the greatest event sequence is relieved first. The event sequence, set internally by the system, indicates the processing order of transactions within the same position.
• High Amortized Cost or High Cost (HCLOT). The lots with the highest current cost are sold first. The system uses current unit cost, which includes amortization for debt securities. This method relieves the lots that can generate the maximum loss or the minimal gain.
• Low Amortized Cost or Low Cost (LCLOT). The lots with the lowest current cost are sold first. The system uses current unit cost, which includes amortization for debt securities. This method relieves the lots that can generate the minimal loss or the maximum gain.
• High Original Cost (HORIG). The lots with the highest original cost are sold first. The system uses the original unit base cost of the open lots. It relieves the lots that can generate the maximum loss or the minimal gain.
• Low Original Cost (LORIG). The lots with the lowest original cost are sold first. The system uses the original unit base cost of the open lots. It relieves the lots that can generate the minimal loss or the maximum gain.
• Identified Lot (IDLOT). The specified lot is sold first, which determines cost and tax implications. You can optimize this option to specific tax situations by selecting the specific lots to be sold.
• Best Tax. The lots are selected and sold with the objective of taking losses first (short term then long term) and gains last (long term then short term). Lots are sold in the following order:
  1. Short term Losses. Lots that reflect a short term loss are sold first, beginning with lots that generate the greatest short term loss down to the least short term loss.
  2. Long term Losses. Lots that reflect a long term loss are sold, beginning with lots that generate the greatest long term loss down to the least long term loss.
  3. Short term No Gains or Losses. Short term lots that reflect no gain or loss.
  4. Long term No Gains or Losses. Long term lots that reflect no gain or loss.
  5. Long Term Gains. Lots that reflect a long term gain, beginning with lots that generate the least long term gain up to the greatest long term gain.
  6. Short Term Gains. Lots that reflect a short term gain, beginning with lots that generate the least short term gain up to the greatest short term gain.
• Tax Advantage (TXADV). The lots with the lowest tax liability are sold first to minimize tax liability.
• Versus Purchases (VSP). The lots are selected and sold based on lot purchase characteristics, such as the target purchase date and the target purchase price. This option must be specified at the trade level.
• Pro Rata. The lots are selected and sold based on a proportionate allocation.
• Tax Efficiency. The lots with the lowest tax liability are sold first to minimize tax liability. The system calculates the tax liability based on the manipulation of entity level tax factors for long and short term gains, long and short term losses, and currency gains. The system also incorporates the wash sale disallowance effect and considers the overall tax implications of closing each individual lot.
• Modified FIFO (MFIFO). The open lots with the same original acquisition date (tag 216) as the close transaction are sold first, starting with the lots with the lowest unit cost local. If there are no open lots with the same acquisition date as the close transaction, or all same day lots have been sold, the oldest open lots are sold first based on the acquisition date. Within a single acquisition date, the lots with the lowest unit cost local are sold first.

• Yes. The system automatically settles the trade, coupon, and miscellaneous income and expenses. The system retrieves the settle date FX rate if the local currency does not equal base and generates a trade to settle date gain/loss.
• No. Default. The system does not automatically settle the trade, coupon, and miscellaneous income and expenses. You must schedule the settlement for these transactions using the Run Contract Cash global panel.
