Accrued interest unrealized FX 

Shows the accrued value of the FX fwd points spread over the time until balance date. 


Unrealized Interest Gain / Loss 

FX swap points from FX rate table - swappoints in deal - accrued interest * base amount. The unrealised interest gain loss is always presented in Price currency. 

In accounting mid rates are used.  

If you market value a FX deal (bought USD and Sold SEK) the market valuation will show you what the price would be if you closed the deal and Sold USD you would get the lowest rate from BID side.  

  • Sell USD (base amount negative) the FX rate at period end will be from ASK side.  

  • Buy USD (base amount positive) The FX rate at period end will be from BID side.  

  • Loan from Ask side  

  • Deposits from Bid side 


FX Gain Loss 

Long term loan  

FX gain/loss – Unrealised and Realised – Allocated / not allocated 

The following example describes how FX gain/loss is calculated depending on Measuring period and the use of the Allocation (“Periodisering”) alternative. 

The principles regarding application of the measuring period and the use of Allocation described below apply also to calculation of accrued interest and Interest rate gain/loss in various parts of the system. “Allocation” in TS means that a profit loss item is calculated strictly within the measuring period.
