Features New Financial Instruments

Management of the financial instruments forward loan purchase, fiduciary deposit, and total return swap from start to end within SAP Treasury and Risk Management (including master data, valuation, postings, and position management). 

Fiduciary Deposit (new product type 570 Fiduciary Deposit) Fiduciary deposits are equivalent to asset swaps in that they behave like a credit portfolio with an interest rate swap. The credit portfolio (the pool of assets) is chosen by the depositor who bears all its credit risk.



Forward Loan Purchase (new product type 790 Forward Loans) A forward loan purchase is an agreement between two counterparties entering into a loan contract. The loan is not paid out directly after the agreement but at a later point in time. All the loan ingredients are fixed at the contract closure. Processing related to the new feature begins in Loans Management and continues in the Transaction Manager of SAP Treasury and Risk Management (TRM). The approach is to build up the derivative (forward contract) in the TRM application and reuse many functions of the product category 740. The loans contract is built up in the Loans Management module using existing functions.



Total Return Swap (new product type 640 Total Return Swap) With this financial instrument, you can swap the total return of a single asset in exchange for periodic cash flows, or you can swap periodic cash flows for the total return of a single asset. The periodic cash flow is typically a floating rate, such as LIBOR +/- a basis point spread, and a guarantee against any capital losses. With a total return swap, the total return (cash flows plus capital appreciation or depreciation) is exchanged, and not just the cash flows. This new financial instrument allows the counterparties to swap the total return (cash flows plus capital appreciation or depreciation) of an asset or basket of assets in exchange for periodic cash flows.

The amortized acquisition value is adjusted to the amount that would have existed had the new effective yield been applied since acquisition. The difference between the new amortized acquisition value and the actual amortized acquisition value is debited or credited to interest income.
