Manage Caps/Floors in Issue Viewer

In the Caps and Floors panel, you can manually add and change an interest rate option cap and an interest rate option floor. An interest rate option cap is the highest interest rate that can be paid on a floating rate bond, or the highest rate that an adjustable rate mortgage can rise to in a specified period of time. An interest rate option floor is the minimum interest rate permitted by state law for a floating rate note.

This article assumes you are familiar with the entity elections that have been made for processing caps and floors. For more information, see Understand Caps and Floors.

Cap/Floor Coupon Periods
Coupon	70	Specifies the rate at which the security accrues 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. For more information, see Set Up Securities for Caps and Floors. Options include: 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.

The security has unscheduled payments and accrues interest based on a rate you enter in the Variable Rate table.
Strike Rate	11850	Determines the rate at which you can exercise against the cap/floor. This value stores the ceiling rate for cap contracts and stores the floor rate for floor contracts. If you set up the security with a Floating Rate or Inverse Floating Rate coupon type, Eagle Accounting uses the value in the Strike Rate field along with the rate of the underlying security on the reset date to determine at what rate the contract accrues interest. If the coupon type on the cap/floor contract is not Floating or Inverse Floating, the Strike Rate field is for reference only.

Variable Rate Next Reset Date	3006	Specifies the date of the next rate reset for a security with a variable rate coupon type.
Cap/Floor Flags
Trading Flat	3949	Indicates whether the security is trading with or without interest. As a general rule, cap and floor contracts trade without interest (trades flat). Therefore this field has a default value of Yes. In the event that a contract does trade with interest, you can change the value to No. Options include: Yes. The system does not calculate accrued interest purchased or sold at the time of the acquisition or disposition. In the event of a disposition mid-coupon, the system creates a coupon at the end of the coupon period based on the interest earned during the period. No. The system calculates accrued interest purchased or sold at the time of the acquisition or disposition.

This rule allows some companies to raise capital through the sale of equity or debt securities without having to register the securities with the SEC. Private Placement. The raising of capital using private rather than public placement. The result is the sale of securities to a relatively small number of investors. 4(2) Paper Other None Yes

This field appears and is required only if you set the Coupon Type Code field (tag 97) to a value of either X (Floating Rate) or R (Inverse Floater).
Reset Frequency	476	Specifies the frequency at which the security resets its rate, beginning from the date defined in the First Rate Reset Date field. Options include: 10 DAY 14 Day 28 Day 30 Day 35 Day 49 Day Annual Bi-Monthly Daily Monthly Quarterly Semi-Annual Weekly This field appears only if you set the Coupon Type Code field (tag 97) to a value of either X (Floating Rate) or R (Inverse Floater).

Options include: 10_D (10 DAY) 12_M (Annual) 14_D (14 Day) 1_D (Daily) 1_M (Monthly) 28_D (28 Day) 2_M (Bi-Monthly) 30_D (30 Day) 35_D (35 Day) 3_M (Quarterly) 49_D (49 Day) 6_M (Semi-Annual) 7_D (Weekly) This field appears and is required only if you set the Coupon Type Code field (tag 97) to a value of either X (Floating Rate) or R (Inverse Floater).
Reset Lookback Days	10547	Specifies the actual number of days to look back when setting the rate on the reset date. Floating Rate type securities can use a past rate on the specified reset date. This field appears only if you set the Coupon Type Code field (tag 97) to a value of either X (Floating Rate) or R (Inverse Floater).
Reset Look Back Days Type	5075	Indicates whether the system bases the reset look back days on valid business days or actual calendar days.

The rate referenced is the one that was used on the business day prior to the lockout period. The system performs the count backwards from the coupon date, inclusive of the lockout effective date and exclusive of the coupon date. This field does not appear if the Observation Period Adjust Days field has a value greater than zero.
Reset Lockout Period	18083	Indicates how to identify the reset lockout period. This field appears if you specify a value for the Reset Lockout Days field. Options include: A (All Period). Default. The lockout period specified in the Reset Lockout Days field applies to the end of all coupon periods. L (Last Period). The lockout days only are applied to the final coupon period.
Observation Period Adjust Days	18086	Specifies the actual number of days that the system should shift backwards by when setting the rate. The indices rate and the weighting of the rate in the compounding formula are determined based on the day the index rate represents in the Observation Period rather than the day of the Interest Period. This field does not appear if you specify a value for either the Reset Lookback Days or Reset Lockout Days fields. Conversely, if you define a value for the Observation Period Adjust Days field, the panel hides the Lookback and Lockout fields.
Coupon Rate Fixing Method	18274	Identifies the coupon rate fixing method. Options include: NORMAL (Normal). The coupon rate is determined at the beginning of each floater accrual period. RESETATEND (Reset at End). The rate is not determined until the end of the current period. If you select this value, you can choose a Final Rate Rounding Precision value and Final Rate Rounding Direction value in the Compound Information section.
Fixing Date Business Center	16407	Specifies the fixing date business calendar for the security. The Earnings process uses this business calendar you select to identify business days and non business days for the purposes of determining the fixing date for floating rate and inverse floating rate coupon date. The fixing date is the date on which a rate/price is selected for use on the reset date. If you do not select a value, the Earnings process uses the business calendar selected in the Business Calendar Name field (tag 1480) to determine the fixing date. This option allows you to specify separate calendars when a security uses one calendar for dropping coupons and a different calendar for resetting the floating rate. This field appears only if the Coupon Type Code field (tag 97) has a value of X (Floating Rate) or R (Inverse Floater).
Compound Information
Compounding Indicator	11875	Specifies whether the security compounds unpaid interest. Options include Yes or No. If you set this value to Yes, the remaining Compounding Information field values are required.

Compounding Frequency	11877	Specifies the frequency at which the security compounds interest.
First Compounding Date	11878	Specifies the first date on which the compounding begins for the security.
Last Compounding Date	11879	Specifies the end date when interest compounding ceases for the security.
Final Rate Rounding Precision	18276	Specifies the rounding precision for the compounded rate of return on each security. This field appears if the Coupon Type Code field (tag 97) has a value of X (Floating Rate) or R (Inverse Floater) and you set the Coupon Rate Fixing Method field to Reset At End. Options include: 0.0000001% (9) 0.000001% (8) 0.00001% (7) 0.0001% (6) 0.001% (5)
