6 Rolling Over a Deal

A rollover is a renewal of a deal. Instead of liquidating a deal on maturity, you can roll it over into a new deal. The outstanding principal of the old deal is rolled over with or without the profit outstanding on it. When a deal is rolled over (renewed), it is processed in the following manner:
  • The original deal is liquidated
  • A new deal is initiated
You can rollover a deal that you are processing provided it is allowed for the product the finance involves.
For a product with rollover defined, you can specify if deals involving the product should inherit:
  • The attributes defined for the ICCF components (profit, charges and fees) from the product
  • Those defined for the initial deal. This gains significance if you changed the attributes that the (initial) deal acquired from the product. The rolled over deal will acquire the changed attributes.
In addition, you have to specify the following for a product defined with rollover whether:
  • It is to be rolled over along with outstanding profit
  • The profit that has been accrued on a placement is to be considered a part of the ‘utilized amount’ for the purpose of risk tracking if you are rolling over a placement with profit
  • Tax has to be applied on the rolled over deal
  • The principal of the rolled over profit should be taxed
However, when processing a deal, you can change the attributes that the deal acquires from the product. At the time of processing the deal, you can indicate if a rollover is to be automatic or manual; the maturity type (fixed, call or notice); the maturity date for a fixed maturity deal; and the notice days. You should also indicate if:
  • Only the outstanding principal is to be rolled over
  • The outstanding principal is to be rolled over with profit
  • If a special amount is to be rolled over. (If a part of the principal and profit from the old deal has been liquidated and only the outstanding principal with or without profit is rolled over, it is called a special amount)

Note:

When a deal is rolled over, the new contract continues to have the reference number of the old deal.
