Cash Flow Simulations

1. Understanding Cash Flow Events

Each simulation generates a series of cash flow events, which are categorized as follows:

  • IED (Initial Exchange of Documents) - Principal transfer at contract initiation.
  • IP (Interest Payment) - Periodic interest payments.
  • MD (Maturity Date) - Loan principal repayment at maturity.
  • RR (Rate Reset) - Changes the interest rate in variable-rate contracts.
  • PRF (Principal Redemption Fix) - Adjusts the principal payment based on rate changes.
  • PR (Principal Redemption) - Scheduled loan repayment of principal.

3. Key Takeaways

  • Fixed Rate Loans: Payments remain constant, interest does not change.
  • Variable Rate Loans: Payments vary based on rate reset (RR) events.
  • Bullet Loans (PAM): Interest-only payments, full principal repaid at maturity.
  • Annuity Loans (ANN): Fixed periodic payments including both principal and interest.
