How does LUSID calculate PV?

Prev Next

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:
