Overview

Once the company tree has been defined, you can create portfolio(s) which will hold the trades whose details can be used for .

To perform PV calculation or valuation data anomaly detection in Xplain, you will need to create a company tree, which will provide you with a hierarchical structure to organise your derivative trade portfolios, as well as the ability to set your default valuation and valuation data provider settings. This section of the guide will show you how to do this.

The hierarchical structure is as follows:

%%{init: {'theme': 'base', 'themeVariables': {'background': '#FFFFFF'}, 'flowchart': {'nodeSpacing': 20}}}%%

Currency Exposure

To perform net currency exposure calculations and simulations in Xplain, you will need to define the currency exposure and its cashflows. This section of the guide will cover how you can do this.

For consistency, the examples throughout this guide will use the structure of the existing ‘LONDON_FICC’ company.

In this section, you will learn how to:

  • create a company and add an entity
  • define the company’s default valuation settings
  • define the company’s default valuation data provider settings
  • create a portfolio and add standalone trades, create reference securities and add allocation trades, and add custom trades
