About Settlement of Open Cap/Floor Transactions

Cap and floor transactions settle according to the following entity-level field elections selected for a fund:

  • Auto Settle Indicator

  • Contractual Cash Settlement Type

  • Contract Settle Indicator

The premium of the contract is eligible to be moved through cash on the settlement date of the opening transaction, and any date after.

For a description of these entity-level settings, see Create/Edit Entity Panel Options or Create Master Fund Panel Options.
