Margin income impact represents the fixed leg on interest rate swaps plus fixed rate term deposits.
-
Existing hedge book margin income is certain assuming total balances stay above hedge book levels, there are no counterparty failures, and CPU does not amend or cancel any hedges.
-
Hedged Margin Income is provided for indicative purposes and forms part of margin income key assumptions.
-
Notional replacement run off is for illustrative purposes only (scenario above assumes new trades executed at the same rates and no change to balances). Our strategy is to replace maturing trades with new hedges to ensure consistent levels of protection. Maturing trades will be booked at the prevailing market rates at the time of execution.
