Manage Total Return Swaps in Issue Viewer

In the Multiple Leg Swap panel, you can manually add and change a total return swap. A total return swap is a contract where one party makes periodic interest payments in exchange for receiving the return on an underlying equity, bond, index, or custom basket of securities from the counterparty. The value of total return swap is determined by the price fluctuations in the underlying assets.

Total return swaps have three security master records. One security master record represents the contract leg. The other two security master records represent the pay leg and the receive leg. The contract provides general information about the deal. The pay and receive legs provide specific payment details. The legs are linked together by a shared Primary Asset ID.

Total return swaps are similar to interest rate swaps. However, instead of exchanging different rates, the total return swap exchanges an interest rate for the change in valuation of an underlying security. This is typically an equity. At predetermined reset dates, the change in valuation is calculated into a cash payment/receipt. The current price of the underlying security of the return leg is used to reset the notional for the next valuation period.

To set up a total return swap, you must configure your Eagle environment to allow duplicate Primary Asset IDs. You can use the Create Security Cross Reference Configurations panel in Reference Data Center (RDC).

Add Total Return Swap Contracts

To manually add a total return swap contract, pay leg, and receive leg:

  1. In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Setup > Securities > Manage Securities > Issue Viewer.
    You see the Issue Viewer tool.

  2. Click the Add arrow.

  3. Point to Derivatives and click Total Rate Return Swap.
    You see the Total Rate Return Swap panel.

  4. Add the contract on the Multiple Leg Swap panel.
    The following fields are required to set up the contract: Issue Name, Primary Asset ID Type, Primary Asset ID, Issue Country Code, Asset Currency, Settlement Currency, Income Currency, Issue Date, Dated Date, Maturity Date, First Payment Date, Last Payment Date, and Calculate/Validate Last Payment Date.

  5. Click the second row of the multi row pane at the bottom of the panel and add the pay leg.
          
    The following fields are required to set up the pay leg: Issue Name, Primary Asset ID Type, Primary Asset ID, Issue Country Code, Asset Currency, Settlement Currency, Income Currency, Coupon, Coupon Type Code, Day Count Basis, Payment Frequency Code, Issue Date, Dated Date, Maturity Date, First Payment Date, Last Payment Date, and Calculate/Validate Last Payment Date.

  6. Click the third row of the multi row pane at the bottom of the panel and add the receive leg.
                
    The following fields are required to set up the receive leg: Issue Name, Primary Asset ID Type, Primary Asset ID, Issue Country Code, Asset Currency, Settlement Currency, Income Currency, Coupon, Coupon Type Code, Day Count Basis, Payment Frequency Code, Issue Date, Dated Date, Maturity Date, First Payment Date, Last Payment Date, and Calculate/Validate Last Payment Date. If the leg is floating, the following fields are also required: First Rate Reset Date, Reset Frequency Code, Reset Look Back Days, and Underlying Security ID. If the leg is a return leg, Underlying Security ID. is required as well.

  7. Click Submit.
    You can manually add a coupon/reset schedule for the equity and finance legs prior to resetting the total return swap. See the Manage Schedules section. Otherwise, if you do not manually add a reset schedule, the system calculates the payment dates for you using Security Master File information in a manner similar to that used to calculate a coupon for a bond.

Change Total Return Swaps

Some fields are locked when there is an existing position on the security. This is because a change would impact the existing position. These fields include Asset Currency, Investment Type, Processing Security Type, Quantity Type, Price Multiplier, and Quantity Scale. Other fields are locked so they cannot be changed. See the About Locked Security Master Record Fields in Issue Viewer page for more information.

If you need to change a security master record, Eagle recommends canceling the security, making changes to the security master record, and rebooking the security.

To manually change a total return swap:

  1. In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Setup > Securities > Manage Securities > Issue Viewer.
    You see the Issue Viewer tool.

  2. Enter the query parameters and click Search.
    You see a list of security records that meet your selection criteria in the Query Result window.

  3. Select the security record you want to update, click the Change arrow, and click Change Swaps. Or double-click the security record.
    You see the Change Swaps multiple leg swap panel.

  4. Change the options on the Change Swaps panel.
