Xplain-native Valuation Data Providers

“NAV”, “NOTIONAL” and “XPLAIN” are Xplain-native valuation data providers, which can be used in the exception management workflow as follows:

  • “XPLAIN”: the data provider of valuations (PV and greeks) performed in Xplain
  • “NAV”: the data provider of fund NAV values (expressed in the Reporting Ccy) for scaling purposes in the relevant break test definitions (with NAV(t) being the applicable scaling factor at t, not the NAV value at t itself)
  • “NOTIONAL”: the data provider of notional values (expressed in the Reporting Ccy) for scaling purposes in the relevant break test definitions
