6. Processing Fee Details

This chapter contains the following sections:

6.1 Introduction

Different types of fees are involved in the trading of a syndicated loan. The following are the various types of fees involved in trading:

The following two adhoc fee components are also involved in the trading process:

The different types of the fees and their significance in the trading process are explained in the subsequent sections.

This section contains the following topics:

6.1.1 Specifying Assignment Fee Details

The assignment fee refers to the flat fee that needs to be paid to the agent facilitating the trade. This fee can be paid either by the buyer or the seller fully, or can be shared between the buyer and the seller.

Following steps are involved in capturing and processing the assignment fee associated with a trade contract:

  1. The assignment fee component gets linked to the SLT product in the ‘SLT Product Fee Details’ screen.
  2. The assignment fee details for a trade contract are specified in the ‘Fee Components’ screen associated with the contract.
  3. The buyer’s and the seller’s contribution to the assignment fee is captured in this screen.
  4. You can capture the customer number of the agent to whom the assignment fee is to be paid and also indicate the remitter of the assignment fee in the ‘Draft Trade’ screen and the ‘Trade settlement’ screen.
  5. Based on the value of ‘Assignment Fee Remitter’, ‘Assignment Fee Type’, and the buy/sell attribute of the trade, the assignment fee gets remitted to the agent or the counterparty involved in the deal.

For ‘Split’ type of assignment fee payments, the split amounts get posted to the agent and counterparty accounts.

    • Line/Accommodation Fee GL should be maintained as part of the Accounting Role to Head mapping in the SLT Trade Product.
    • SLT Bridge Account is derived while posting the entries from the SLT Branch Pa­rameters setup for the trade branch and trade currency.

6.1.4 Specifying Delayed Compensation Fee Details

Delayed compensation fee (DCF) is calculated for trades whose settlement gets delayed. If the settlement does not happen as on T+7/T+20, according to standards, a delayed compensation fee is calculated and applied for ‘SWOA’ type of quotations. DCF is not applicable if the trade quotation method is ‘FLAT’.

The delayed compensation fee component is linked to the SLT product in the ‘SLT Product Fee Details’ screen. Calculation of DCF is triggered only if the actual settlement date exceeds the expected settlement date as specified in ‘Draft Trade’ screen.

There are various components associated with DCF which can be summarized as follows:

6.1.4.1 DCF on Funded Amount

DCF for the funded amount will be calculated for the period from expected settlement date till the actual settlement date.

Par and TRS Trades

For Par and TRS trades the following fee components are calculated for funded amount:

Where,

Libor Funded amount is the sum of outstanding amount of all the Libor (Fixed) type drawdowns under the CUSIP

Margin = Spread + Oracle FLEXCUBE Margin

Denominator basis is arrived based on the value of Fee calc Basis.

Where,

Prime Funded amount is the sum of outstanding amount of all the Prime (Float) type drawdowns under the CUSIP

All-in Rate = Base rate+ Spread+ Oracle FLEXCUBE Margin

Denominator basis is arrived based on the value of Fee calc Basis

Where,

Prime Funded amount on Expected settlement Date (T+7) is the sum of outstanding amount of all the Prime (Floating) type drawdowns under the CUSIP on the expected settlement date (T+7).

Average Libor Rate is derived using data from ‘Average Libor rate Maintenance’ and is calculated from T+7 through settlement date.

Distressed Trades

For Distressed trades the following fee components are calculated for funded amount:

Where,

Libor Funded amount is the sum of outstanding amount of all the Libor (Fixed) type drawdowns under the CUSIP

All-in Rate = Base rate+ Spread+ Oracle FLEXCUBE Margin

Denominator basis is arrived based on the value of Fee calc Basis.

Where,

Prime Funded amount on Expected settlement Date (T+7) is the sum of outstanding amount of all the Prime (Float) type drawdowns under the CUSIP on the expected settlement date (T+7)

Average Libor Rate is derived using data from ‘Average Libor rate Maintenance’ and is calculated from T+7 through settlement date.

Where,

Libor Funded amount on Expected settlement Date (T+7) is the sum of outstanding amount of all the Libor (Fixed) type drawdowns under the CUSIP on the expected settlement date (T+7)

Average Libor Rate is derived using data from ‘Average Libor rate Maintenance’ and is calculated from T+7 through settlement date.

6.1.4.2 DCF on Unfunded Amount

DCF for the unfunded amount is further sub-divided into different categories and are calculated as explained below:

The associated fee category is ‘DCFCOMM’.

The associated fee category is ‘DCFUTILIZ’.

The associated fee category is ‘DCFFACILITY’.

The associated fee category is ‘DCFSTBYLC’.

The associated fee category is ‘DCFCOMMLC’.

These fee components are calculated on their respective drawdown/tranche currencies and are displayed in the ‘Funding Memo’ screen. You can modify these, if required.

For tranches with drawdowns in multiple currencies, the Interest DCF is summed up for each currency across the drawdowns.

The currency wise fee accounting entries will be posted. The following table shows the basic accounting entries posted for DCF.

6.1.4.4 Maintaining DCF Accrual Status Change

In Oracle FLEXCUBE, you can maintain preference to reverse/restart a DCF accrual. Based on this maintenance, accrual is carried out for all the active trades associated with the position contract. This can be done through the ‘DCF Accrual Status Change’ screen. You can invoke the ‘DCF Accrual Status Change’ screen by typing ‘TLDPODCF’ in the field at the top right corner of the Application tool bar and clicking on the adjoining arrow button.

 

Specify the following details:

Contract Ref No

Specify the position contract reference number. Alternatively, select the position contract reference number from the adjoining option list. The list displays all the values maintained in the system.

Based on the contract reference number selected/ specified, the system displays the following position details:

Stop DCF Accrual

Select this check box to indicate that DCF accrual should be stopped.

Note

You can deselect this check box only if the ‘Allow Amendment of Non Accrual’ box is se­lected in the Product preferences sub-screen of the ‘Secondary Loan Trade – Product Definition’ screen.

When this check box is selected or deselected, the system defaults the application date as the Non Accrual Effective date. This date is used to derive the last liquidation date for interest components of drawdown when the associated loan is in performing status.

You can perform the following operations:

Note

6.1.4.5 Accruing Delayed Compensation Fee

Delayed compensation fee is applicable for trades booked under SWOA quotation type, if the trade does not get settled on the expected settlement date. The DCF fee involved in such trades are accrued till the actual settlement date.

Currency-wise accounting entries are posted against each applicable DCF category. You can specify the preferences for DCF accrual in the ‘Product Preferences’ screen. You need to select the ‘Accrual Required’ option and specify the ‘Accrual Frequency’ as daily. You also need to select the ‘Allow Amendment of Non Accrual’ check box if you want to reverse/restart a DCF accrual. In addition, in the ‘Product Fee Details’ screen you need to select the check box ‘Status Tracking Required’. The reversal or restarting of DCF accrual is based on whether the ‘Stop DCF Accrual’ box in the ‘DCF Accrual Status Change’ screen is enabled or disabled

Accrual starts during the EOD on expected settlement date, if the trade settlement does not happen on that date. Further accruals happen as part of the EOD batch. During trade settlement, if you waive off DCF, then all the accrual entries posted gets reversed.

The DCF Accrual batch process can reverse or catch up accrual for DCF components, based on whether the ‘Status Tracking Required’ box is selected or deselected. The processing is done as part of the EOD on the same day this check box is selected or deselected.

If ‘Status Tracking Required’ is checked for the trade product, the system checks the DCF accrual status at the associated position contract level.

During ticket settlement, the system re-calculates the DCF amount and posts catch up accrual.

Note

If ‘Status Tracking Required’ is not checked for the trade product, the system continues the accrual process for the trade as follows:

The following example illustrates the accrual of DCF and the corresponding accounting entries involved:

6.1.5 Specifying Break Fund Fee Details

Break Fund Fee needs to be calculated only when there is a difference in LIBOR Base rate linked to the contract and LIBOR rate existing at the time of transfer. Break fund fee is calculated for the difference in these rates. This fee is settled between the counter party and bank taking into account the increase or decrease in LIBOR rate and the buy or sell attribute of the trade.

Following steps are involved in capturing and processing the break fund fee associated with a trade contract:

  1. The break fund fee component is linked to the SLT product in the ‘SLT Product Fee Details’ screen.
  2. The main interest component for each drawdown associated with the CUSIP is taken into consideration for calculating break fund fee.
  3. Break funding fee for this interest component is computed as follows:

Funded trade amount* (Libor rate quoted- Libor rate on transfer date)*(Next Interest Schedule (rollover) date– Transfer Date) /Denominator basis

Where, Denominator basis is derived based on the value of ‘Fee Calc Basis’.

  1. The sum of these amounts for all the drawdowns is taken as the ‘Break Fund’ fee and it gets displayed in the ‘Funding Memo’ screen.

The accounting entries posted for break funding fee is specified below:

Bank is receiving the break funding FEE from Counter Party

Bank is Paying the break funding FEE to Counter Party

6.1.6 Specifying Waiver Fee Details

Waiver fee is an adhoc fee paid by the trade counterparty to Bank.

The waiver fee component is linked to the SLT product in the ‘SLT Product Fee Details’ screen. You can specify the waiver fee details in the ‘Fee Components’ screen associated with the contract. You can also specify the waiver fee amount in the ‘Funding Memo’ screen.

6.1.7 Specifying Benefit of Commitment Reduction Fee (BCR) Details

Benefit of Commitment Reduction (BCR) fee is calculated if there is a commitment reduction by the borrower between trade date and the settlement date, inclusive of both the dates. BCR fee is calculated as per the formula given below

BCR fee = (Principal paid between Trade date & Settlement date) * (1-Price)

The following example illustrates BCR fee calculation:

Consider a trade performed on 1st Sept and assume that there is a principal payment on 1st Sept. The payment for 1st Sept is considered for BCR computation.

Note

There is no separate fee definition and settlement for BCR fee.

6.1.8 Specifying Upfront Fee Details

Upfront fee is collected for the undrawn amount of the trade. Upfront fee is calculated as follows.

Upfront fee = Unfunded Amount * (1-Price)

Note

There is no separate fee definition and settlement for upfront fee.

6.1.9 Specifying Adhoc Fee Details

Two types of adhoc fees are available to account for any adhoc fee exchanges that happen between the buyer and the seller. They are as follows:

The fee types are linked to the SLT product in the ‘SLT Product Fee Details’ screen. The adhoc fee details for the contract are specified in the ‘Fee Components’ screen associated with the contract.

6.1.10 Specifying Brokerage Details

Secondary loan trading can involve brokers who charge a commission fee for their brokerage services. Brokerage is always calculated on the original trade amount. Any amendment in the trade amount as a result of commitment reduction does not affect the calculation of broker’s commission, as it is calculated on the initial trade amount.

For line trades involving the origination desk, brokerage is applicable only for the Origination sell line trade and not for the other two Par trades linked to the line trade.

Following steps are involved in capturing and processing the brokerage fee associated with a trade contract:

  1. Broker Id of the broker involved in the trade is captured in the ‘Draft Trade’ screen, while booking the SLT contract.
  2. The brokerage fee component gets linked to the SLT product in the ‘SLT Product Fee Details’ screen.
  3. The brokerage fee type, rate, and the fee amount are captured in the ‘Fee Components’ screen associated with the contract.
  4. The brokerage fee gets displayed in the ‘Funding Memo’ screen, where it can be waived off, if required. You can waive off this fee in the ‘Draft Trade’ screen or ‘Fee Amendment’ screen also.

The accounting entries posted for brokerage as part of trade settlement or fee liquidation is specified below.

Counterparty

Select the counterparty from the adjacent list of values.

SSI Mnemonic

Select the SSI from the adjacent list of values.

On click of ‘Populate’ button, the system generates the Liquidation reference number which will be unique for the combination of contract reference number (drawdown/tranche reference) and counterparty. The system defaults the same liquidation reference number if payment is performed multiple times for the same combination of agency reference number and counterparty. The system displays all the settled trades for the combination of Drawdown/ Tranche CUSIP and trade counterparty.

Component(s) gets defaulted with outstanding interest / fee accrued (amount due) in the ‘Component Details’ section.

It is not mandatory to settle all the components together but at least one component should be selected for payment. By default, the check box are not selected while populating the components.

You can specify the amount paid for each component which should be lesser than or equal to amount due. Amount paid can be zero for the components which are not selected for the liquidation. Liquidation of DCF flat unrealized components can be partial or full.

Click ‘Sum’ button to sum up the amount paid across all the components and currency and populate the total amount payable.

Payment message gets generated under liquidation reference number for the total amount payable (if bank have to pay to the counterparty). To compute total amount payable, paid amount is considered positive for sell trade and negative for buy trade. If total amount payable is negative then bank receives the payment else bank pays the amount to counterparty.

During DCF flat unrealized liquidation for drawdowns, If trade currency is different than the drawdown currency then accounting entries for trade are posted by appending currency with amount tag (only in case of foreign currency Drawdowns).

Settlement pick is based on counterparty and currency combination and the settlement instructions are used to post accounting entries for trade reference number.

You can suppress the advice in ‘Advice Details’ sub-screen that is launched on click of ‘Advice’ button.

Deletion of DCF flat liquidation deletes the DCLQ event and accounting entries for the trade reference number.
