About Dual Currency Fields
- Nancy Cohn (Deactivated)
You can use the following dual currency fields when you set up fixed income securities for use with Eagle Accounting.
Option | Tag | Description |
|---|---|---|
Dual Currency Conversion Factor | 11803 | Specifies the initial FX rate at issuance used at issuance to convert the local currency for a dual currency instrument. Used for reference purposes only. This field appears if the Dual Currency Indicator field has a value of Yes. |
Principal Currency | 11813 | Specifies the currency in which the security pays principal for a dual currency instrument. This field displays the asset currency by default, but you can change it if you identify the security as a dual currency instrument. The principal currency matches either the asset currency or the income currency, allowing you to apply a single set of fixing parameters to the dual currency instrument. When the principal currency differs from the asset currency for a dual currency instrument, the security calculates principal in the asset currency but converts the local currency amounts to the principal currency at the time the maturity or corporate action is created. It bases the amount on the fixing parameters specified for the dual currency instrument. This field appears if the Dual Currency Indicator field has a value of Yes. |
Settlement Rate Option | 11816 | Specifies the FX rate source used to convert the local accrued amounts into the income and/or principal currency for the dual currency instrument. This conversion determines actual income and/or principal settlement amounts. The system uses this security level source rather than the accounting basis' FX source for the security. This field appears if the Dual Currency Indicator field has a value of Yes. Note: Although this value is an FX rate, you store it as an index because the to/from currencies are embedded and not provided. It accommodates multiple values that are common to a price. |
FX Rate Type | 11817 | Identifies the type of FX fixing rate the system uses from the Settlement Rate Option field for a dual currency instrument. This field appears if the Dual Currency Indicator field has a value of Yes. Options include:
|
FX Fixing Period Multiplier | 12027 | Specifies the multiplier for the time period or FX fixing period for a dual currency instrument. You can specify a positive number such as 1, 2, or 3, or can specify a negative number. This field appears if the Dual Currency Indicator field has a value of Yes. |
FX Fixing Period | 11818 | Identifies the time period used to calculate the fixing rate for a dual currency instrument. This field appears if the Dual Currency Indicator field has a value of Yes. Options include:
|
FX Fixing Period Date Type | 12028 | Specifies whether the fixing period for a dual currency instrument uses business days or calendar days. This field appears if the Dual Currency Indicator field has a value of Yes. Options include:
|
FX Fixing Business Day Convention | 12029 | Determines how to adjust the calendar date for the FX fixing date if the date would otherwise fall on a day that is not a business day based on the fixing day's calendar. This field appears if the Dual Currency Indicator field has a value of Yes. Options include:
