    This screen allows you to select the Add-On Rate Type from the Add-On Rate Type Selection window.

  3. Conditional Assumptions - The Conditional Assumption feature allows you to segregate your product portfolio based on common characteristics, such as Term to Maturity, Origination Date, and Repricing Frequency, and assign specific Add-on Rate Methodologies to each of the groupings.

    Note:

    If an instrument record does not meet any of the conditions, then the rule logic reverts to the Standard Assumption that is directly assigned to the Product/Currency combination.
