When posting Unrealized Gain/Loss for all fixed income securities, Eagle Accounting calculates Unrealized Gain/Loss at the position level. Because Eagle Accounting calculates Unrealized Gain/Loss at the position level, it is necessary for Eagle Accounting to use the Effective Date of the unrealized gain/loss process to calculate the Current Face of a TIPS security. An example follows.
TIPS security 9128272M3 is purchased on 01/04/02 with a Settle Date of 01/07/02 and a Price of 99.5.
The lot is purchased with a 1/7/02 TIPS Index Ratio of 1.12123. See the following figure.
Accruals are run on 1/04/2002. This updates the accrual on the position level of the Cost object with the TIPS Index Ratio, from 01/04/2002, of 1.12141. See the following figure.
Security 9128272M3 Price on 01/04/02 is 99.5; this is the same as the purchase price of the lot. See the following figure, which shows the Add Issue Price panel..
This scenario would create a gain because CUSIP 9128272M3 is in an inflationary period.
Original Face * Pricing Date TIPS Index Ratio * Price Date Market Price - Pricing Dates Amortized Cost = Unrealized Gain/Loss
(1,000,000 * 1.12141 * 99.5 / 100) - 1,115,623.85 = 179.10 Gain
Inflation Maturity
Eagle Accounting amortizes to redemption price, and all inflation calculations are made at full price; therefore, when a security is matured, no gain/loss occurs.
Deflation Maturity
Because the original principal investment of a TIPS security is guaranteed, if the TIPS security has deflation maturity, Eagle Accounting creates the necessary adjustments and general ledger entries needed to create the maturity at par.
