Hedge Effectiveness

Measure hedge offset effectiveness against caller-supplied bounds.

Description

Dollar-offset comparison measures hedge magnitude relative to the hedged-item change.

Dollar-offset comparison measures hedge magnitude relative to the hedged-item change. Sign matters separately from absolute ratio.1

Measure hedge offset effectiveness against caller-supplied bounds.

When to use Hedge Effectiveness

Use this tool to measure hedge offset effectiveness against caller-supplied bounds.

Prepare the documented facts, aligned totals or expected/observed evidence labels requested. Choose applicable requirements and thresholds separately before interpreting a planning screen.

How to use Hedge Effectiveness and understand its results

  1. Prepare the documented facts, aligned totals or expected/observed evidence labels requested. Choose applicable requirements and thresholds separately before interpreting a planning screen.
  2. Enter hedgedItemChange, hedgingInstrumentChange, minimumEffectivenessPercent, maximumEffectivenessPercent using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
  3. Read offsetRatioPercent, ineffectivenessAmount, effective. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
  4. If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
Input fieldMeaningValue type; see rules belowRequirement
hedgedItemChangeHedged-item value changenumberRequired
hedgingInstrumentChangeHedging-instrument value changenumberRequired
minimumEffectivenessPercentMinimum effectiveness (%)number; minimum: 0Required
maximumEffectivenessPercentMaximum effectiveness (%)number; minimum: 0Required

Enter nonzero signed item change, signed instrument change and nonnegative bounds; return ratio/sum and inclusive ratio-window flag.

offset%=100abs(instrument/item); ineffectiveness=item+instrument

Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.

Limitations and assumptions

Bounds need not be ordered; same-sign changes can pass the absolute ratio. No economic relationship or hedge-accounting qualification is determined.

Numeric inputs, where present, must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors. A successfully returned false flag is an evaluated outcome; its meaning is explained above.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use Lease Liability Recompute: Recompute a fixed-payment lease liability and compare it with the reported amount. For a complementary task, use Final Analytics Reconciliation: Recheck final analytical consistency after recorded corrections.
