NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year ended 31 December 2020
28. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED)
a.
Financial assets and liabilities recognised at fair value on a recurring basis (continued)
The Company's valuation approach and fair value hierarchy categorisation for certain significant classes
of financial instruments recognised at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:
Asset and Liability / Valuation Technique
Government debt securities
US treasury securities
⚫ Fair value is determined using quoted market prices.
Non US Government Obligations
Fair value is determined using quoted prices in active
markets when available. When not available, quoted prices
in less-active markets are used. In the absence of position-
specific quoted prices, fair value may be determined
through benchmarking from comparable instruments.
Valuation Hierarchy
Classification
• Level 1
as inputs
are
observable and in an active market
• Level 1 - if actively traded and
inputs are observable
-
• Level 2 if the market is less
active or prices are dispersed
• Level 3 - in instances where the
prices are unobservable
Derivatives
OTC derivative contracts (include swap contracts related to
interest rates and foreign currencies)
.
Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction,
the fair value of OTC derivative products can be modeled
using a series of techniques, including closed-form analytic
formulas, such as the Black-Scholes option-pricing model,
simulation models or a combination thereof. Many pricing
models do not entail material subjectivity as the
methodologies employed do not necessitate significant
judgement, since model inputs may be observed from
actively quoted markets, as is the case for generic interest
rate swaps. In the case of more established derivative
products, the pricing models used by the Company are
widely accepted by the financial services industry.
Securities purchased under agreements to resell
• Fair value is computed using a standard cash flow
discounting methodology.
• The inputs to the valuation include contractual cash flows
and collateral funding spreads, which are the incremental
spread over the overnight indexed swap ("OIS") rate for a
specific collateral rate (which refers to the rate applicable to
a specific type of security pledged as collateral).
-
when valued using
• Level 2
observable inputs, or where the
unobservable input is not
deemed significant
• Level 3 - if an unobservable
input is deemed significant
• Level 2 when the valuation
inputs are observable
Level 3 in instances where the
unobservable inputs is deemed
significant
