  • Dividend Swap Indices
    cover for credit indices.qxp 14/04/2008 13:07 Page 1 Dividend Swap Indices Access to equity income streams made easy April 2008 BARCAP_RESEARCH_TAG_FONDMI2NBUR7SWED The Barclays Capital Dividend Swap Index Family Equity indices have been the most essential of measurement tools for all types of investors. From the intrepid retail investor, to the dedicated institutional devotees of modern portfolio theory, the benchmarks of the major stock markets have served as the gauge of collective company price performance for decades, and have been incorporated as underlying tradable reference instruments in countless financial products delivering stock market returns. In most cases, equity indices are available as price return or total return, the latter being, broadly speaking, a blend of the return derived from stock price changes, as well as the receipt of dividends paid out to holders of the stock. The last few years have seen the rapid growth of a market in stripping out the dividend return and trading it over the counter through dividend swaps – a market that has so far been open to only the most sophisticated investors, allowing them to express views on the future levels of dividend payments, hedge positions involving uncertainty of dividend receipts and implement trades that profit from the relative value between one stream of dividend payments and another. The Barclays Capital Dividend Swap Index Family opens this market up to investors of all kinds. The indices in the family track the most liquid areas of the dividend swap market, thereby delivering unprecedented levels of transparency and access to a market that has grown to encompass the FTSE™, S&P 500, DJ Euro STOXX 50® and Nikkei 225 and in which the levels of liquidity that have been reached are estimated to be in the order of hundreds of millions of notional dollars per day.

  • Section 1256 and Foreign Currency Derivatives
    Section 1256 and Foreign Currency Derivatives Viva Hammer1 Mark-to-market taxation was considered “a fundamental departure from the concept of income realization in the U.S. tax law”2 when it was introduced in 1981. Congress was only game to propose the concept because of rampant “straddle” shelters that were undermining the U.S. tax system and commodities derivatives markets. Early in tax history, the Supreme Court articulated the realization principle as a Constitutional limitation on Congress’ taxing power. But in 1981, lawmakers makers felt confident imposing mark-to-market on exchange traded futures contracts because of the exchanges’ system of variation margin. However, when in 1982 non-exchange foreign currency traders asked to come within the ambit of mark-to-market taxation, Congress acceded to their demands even though this market had no equivalent to variation margin. This opportunistic rather than policy-driven history has spawned a great debate amongst tax practitioners as to the scope of the mark-to-market rule governing foreign currency contracts. Several recent cases have added fuel to the debate. The Straddle Shelters of the 1970s Straddle shelters were developed to exploit several structural flaws in the U.S. tax system: (1) the vast gulf between ordinary income tax rate (maximum 70%) and long term capital gain rate (28%), (2) the arbitrary distinction between capital gain and ordinary income, making it relatively easy to convert one to the other, and (3) the non- economic tax treatment of derivative contracts. Straddle shelters were so pervasive that in 1978 it was estimated that more than 75% of the open interest in silver futures were entered into to accommodate tax straddles and demand for U.S.

  • Currency Swaps Basis Swaps Basis Swaps Involve Swapping One Floating Index Rate for Another
    Advanced forms of currency swaps Basis swaps Basis swaps involve swapping one floating index rate for another. Banks may need to use basis swaps to arrange a currency swap for the customers. Example A customer wants to arrange a swap in which he pays fixed dollars and receives fixed sterling. The bank might arrange 3 other separate swap transactions: • an interest rate swap, fixed rate against floating rate, in dollars • an interest rate swap, fixed sterling against floating sterling • a currency basis swap, floating dollars against floating sterling Hedging the Bank’s risk Exposures arise from mismatched principal amounts, currencies and maturities. Hedging methods • If the bank is paying (receiving) a fixed rate on a swap, it could buy (sell) government bonds as a hedge. • If the bank is paying (receiving) a variable, it can hedge by lending (borrowing) in the money markets. When the bank finds a counterparty to transact a matching swap in the opposite direction, it will liquidate its hedge. Multi-legged swaps In a multi-legged swap a bank avoids taking on any currency risk itself by arranging three or more swaps with different clients in order to match currencies and amounts. Example A company wishes to arrange a swap in which it receives floating rate interest on Australian dollars and pays fixed interest on sterling. • a fixed sterling versus floating Australian dollar swap with the company • a floating Australian dollar versus floating dollar swap with counterparty A • a fixed sterling versus dollar swap with counterparty B Amortizing swaps The principal amount is reduced progressively by a series of re- exchanging during the life of the swap to match the amortization schedule of the underlying transaction.

  • Insurance Sector Responses to COVID-19 by Governments, Supervisors and Industry
    Insurance sector responses to COVID-19 by governments, supervisors and industry www.oecd.org/finance/insurance 2 July 2020 The spread of COVID-19 and the measures implemented to reduce its transmission are having (and will continue to have) significant impacts on the (re)insurance sector, as investors, as providers of insurance coverage and as businesses that will need to adapt their approaches to service delivery. This report provides an overview of the measures that governments, insurance regulators and supervisors and insurance associations and individual companies have taken to respond to COVID-19 across three main areas: (i) ensuring continuity of operations; (ii) managing solvency and liquidity risks; and (iii) providing support to policyholders that have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 public health emergency. Summary of response measures Ensuring continuity of insurance services Insurance companies have implemented business continuity plans to maintain the delivery of essential insurance functions with a focus on digital service delivery (requiring regulatory adjustments in some jurisdictions) Insurance supervisors are closely monitoring the implementation of business continuity plans and some are providing specific guidance while taking steps to reduce the administrative burden of regulatory and supervisory functions (reporting, policy and regulation development) Managing solvency and liquidity risks Insurance supervisors are monitoring market, underwriting and liquidity risks based on existing financial and supervisory information including relevant past stress tests results. Many jurisdictions have requested additional data from insurance companies related to risks that have come to light as a result of COVID-19. Some insurance supervisors are implementing existing countercyclical supervisory tools while a few others have made some adjustments to regulatory or supervisory requirements in response to the health emergency, including flexibility in the implementation of investment limits or accounting standards.
