Interest fixing on Caps and Floors

Interest fixing (settlement) on Caps and Floors is performed in Back Office – Confirm start. Select the appropriate interest transaction, for example by Value date.

Click on icon ‘Interest Fixing/Reconciliation/settlement’ (Shift + F4) to automatically perform the settlement for a single transaction. Settlement for several transactions is performed with icon  ‘Interest Fixing/Reconciliation/settlement in Batch’.

If the Cap/Floor is ‘In the money’ an interest amount will be calculated. If not in the money the transaction will automatically get an ordinary reference number and status completed.
