How does LUSID calculate PV?

LUSID’s calculation of present value (PV) differs per instrument type and pricing model. See the table below.

To report the PV of a holding, include appropriate Valuation/* metrics when you generate a valuation report, for example:

Valuation/PV
Valuation/PvInPortfolioCcy
Valuation/PvInReportCcy (if you set report currency ≠ portfolio currency in the valuation request)
Valuation/Leg1/PV and Valuation/Leg2/PV (for instruments with legs)
Valuation/CleanPV (this is always PV minus accrual)

Note the following:

You can call APIs in advance to understand which metrics might be useful or valid to include in a valuation report.
The recommended pricing model for an instrument type is not always the default so you might need to change it.

Instrument type	Recommended pricing model	Calculation	Notes
`Equity`	`SimpleStatic`	`units * price`
`Bond`, `ComplexBond`, `InflationLinkedBond`	`BondLookupPricer`	`((price / scale factor) * principal * units) + accrual`	More information
`FxForward`	`ConstantTimeValueOfMoney`	Sum of the two legs with the FGN leg converted to DOM at the market spot rate.	More information
`Future`	`ConstantTimeValueOfMoney`	The unrealised gain/loss.	More information
`ExchangeTradedOption`	`SimpleStatic`	`((price / scale factor) * contract size * units)`	More information
