## Machine-generated topic summary

ASC 320 governs investments in debt securities (equity securities moved to ASC 321 by ASU 2016-01). The Overall Subtopic 320-10 requires each debt security to be classified at acquisition as trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity, with trading and AFS at fair value (unrealized gains/losses in earnings and OCI, respectively) and HTM at amortized cost, and it polices HTM classification through the "positive intent and ability to hold to maturity" standard, the narrow list of non-tainting sales/transfers, and category-based disclosures. Industry Subtopics layer on incremental rules: broker-dealers (320-940) use trade-date accounting and fair value through profit or loss for proprietary positions; financial institutions (320-942) face detailed major-security-type, maturity-grouping, and pledged-collateral disclosures; NFPs (320-958), health and welfare benefit plans (320-965), and investment companies (320-946) simply carry securities at fair value without the three-category model; and the insurance (320-944) and health care (320-954) Subtopics were wholly superseded by ASU 2016-01. The unifying idea is that fair value is the default measurement for debt securities, with amortized cost available only to entities that can demonstrate and maintain a genuine intent and ability to hold to maturity.

## ASC 320-10: Investments—Debt Securities — Overall

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "ASC 320-10 governs the accounting and reporting for all investments in debt securities (post-ASU 2016-01, equity securities moved to Topic 321). At acquisition an entity must classify each debt security as trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity (320-10-25-1) and document that classification (320-10-25-2); trading and AFS securities are carried at fair value (unrealized gains/losses in earnings and OCI, respectively) while HTM securities are carried at amortized cost (320-10-35-1). The Subtopic's core tension is the restrictive \"positive intent and ability to hold to maturity\" standard, the narrow list of sales/transfers that do not \"taint\" the HTM portfolio, and the required category disclosures.",
  "key_points": [
    "At acquisition, debt securities must be classified as trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity, with AFS as the residual category, and the classification must be documented (320-10-25-1; 320-10-25-2).",
    "HTM classification requires positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, which is distinct from the mere absence of an intent to sell; securities available to be sold for liquidity, rate changes, tax planning, or asset-liability management, convertible debt, and securities that can be prepaid so the holder would not recover substantially all of its recorded investment cannot be HTM (320-10-25-3 through 25-5).",
    "Subsequent measurement: trading at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses in earnings; AFS at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses in other comprehensive income (except hedged portions under Topic 815); HTM at amortized cost; interest and premium/discount amortization go to earnings for all three (320-10-35-1; 320-10-35-4).",
    "A sale or transfer of an HTM security for a reason other than those in 320-10-25-6, 25-9, and 25-14 taints the entire HTM portfolio and requires reclassification of remaining HTM securities to available-for-sale in the period of the sale (320-10-35-8 through 35-9).",
    "Non-tainting events include significant deterioration in issuer creditworthiness, certain tax-law and regulatory changes, a major business combination or disposition, and isolated, nonrecurring, unusual events that could not have been reasonably anticipated; sales near maturity or after collecting at least 85 percent of principal outstanding at acquisition are treated as maturities (320-10-25-6; 320-10-25-9; 320-10-25-14 through 25-15).",
    "Transfers between categories are recorded at fair value, with specified treatment of unrealized gains/losses and reversal of any existing allowance for credit losses in earnings on HTM-to-AFS and AFS-to-HTM transfers (320-10-35-10; 320-10-35-10A; 320-10-35-10B; 320-10-45-8B).",
    "Disclosures by major security type (based on nature and risks) include amortized cost basis, aggregate fair value, total allowance for credit losses, gross unrealized gains and losses, and contractual maturity groupings, plus proceeds and gross realized gains/losses from AFS sales and the circumstances of any HTM sale or transfer (320-10-50-1B; 50-2; 50-5; 50-5A; 50-9; 50-10)."

  "student_note": "Exams love the HTM \"tainting\" rules: students often assume any sale before maturity destroys HTM classification, but sales due to the enumerated changes in circumstances, isolated/nonrecurring/unusual events, or sales near maturity or after 85% of principal has been collected are permitted. Also remember that after ASU 2016-01 this Topic covers only debt securities (equity securities are in Topic 321) and credit impairment is now handled in Subtopic 326-20/326-30, not here.",

At acquisition, an entity shall classify [debt securities](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/d/#debt-security "Any security representing a creditor relationship with an entity.

The term debt security excludes all of the following: Option contracts Financial futures contracts Forward contracts Lease contracts Receivables that do not meet the definition of security and, so, are not debt securities, for example: Trade accounts receivable arising from sales on credit by industrial or commercial entities Loans receivable arising from consumer, commercial, and real estate lending activities of financial institutions.") into one of the following three categories:

It is of a type commonly dealt in on securities exchanges or markets or, when represented by an instrument, is commonly recognized in any area in which it is issued or dealt in as a medium for investment. It either is one of a class or series or by its terms is divisible into a class or series of shares, participations, interests, or obligations.") is acquired with the intent of selling it within hours or days, the security shall be classified as [trading](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#trading "An activity involving securities sold in the near term and held for only a short period of time. The term trading contemplates a holding period generally measured in hours and days rather than months or years. See paragraph 948-310-40-1 for clarification of the term trading for a mortgage banking entity."). However, at acquisition an entity is not precluded from classifying as trading a security it plans to hold for a longer period. Classification of a security as trading shall not be precluded simply because the entity does not intend to sell it in the near term.

Amortized cost is relevant only if a security is actually held to maturity. Use of the held-to-maturity category is restrictive because the use of amortized cost must be justified for each investment in a debt security. At acquisition, an entity shall determine if it has the positive intent and ability to hold a security to maturity, which is distinct from the mere absence of an intent to sell. If management's intention to hold a debt security to maturity is uncertain, it is not appropriate to carry that investment at amortized cost. In establishing intent, an entity shall consider pertinent historical experience, such as sales and transfers of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity. A pattern of sales or transfers of those securities is inconsistent with an expressed current intent to hold similar debt securities to maturity.

An entity shall not classify a debt security as held-to-maturity if the entity has the intent to hold the security for only an indefinite period. Consequently, a debt security shall not, for example, be classified as held-to-maturity if the entity anticipates that the security would be available to be sold in response to any of the following circumstances:

1.  a
    
    Changes in market interest rates and related changes in the security's prepayment risk
    
2.  b
    
    Needs for liquidity (for example, due to the withdrawal of deposits, increased demand for loans, surrender of insurance policies, or payment of insurance claims)
    
3.  c
    
    Changes in the availability of and the yield on alternative investments

Specific scenarios in which a debt security shall not be classified as held-to-maturity (or where sale or transfer of a held-to-maturity security will call into question an investor's stated intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future) are as follows:

1.  a
    
    A security shall not be classified as held-to-maturity if that security can contractually be prepaid or otherwise settled in such a way that the holder of the security would not recover substantially all of its recorded investment. The justification for using historical-cost-based measurement for debt securities classified as held-to-maturity is that no matter how market interest rates fluctuate, the holder will recover its recorded investment and thus realize no gains or losses when the issuer pays the amount promised at maturity. However, that justification does not extend to receivables purchased at a substantial premium over the amount at which they can be prepaid, and it does not apply to instruments whose payments derive from prepayable receivables but have no principal balance. Therefore, a callable debt security purchased at a significant premium might be precluded from held-to-maturity classification under paragraph [860-20-35-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/860/20/#860-20-35-2) if it can be prepaid or otherwise settled in such a way that the holder of the security would not recover substantially all of its recorded investment. In addition, a mortgage-backed interest-only certificate shall not be classified as held-to-maturity. Paragraphs
    
    [860-20-35-3 through 35-6](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/860/20/#860-20-35-3)
    
    provide further guidance on application of this paragraph. Note that a debt security that is purchased late enough in its life such that, even if it was prepaid, the holder would recover substantially all of its recorded investment, could be initially classified as held-to-maturity if the conditions of this paragraph and paragraph [320-10-25-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-1) are met. (A debt security that can contractually be prepaid or otherwise settled in such a way that the holder of the security would not recover substantially all of its recorded investment may contain an embedded derivative. Therefore, such a security should be evaluated in accordance with Subtopic 815-15 to determine whether it contains an embedded derivative that needs to be accounted for separately.)
    
2.  b
    
    A debt security that is available to be sold in response to changes in market interest rates, changes in the security's prepayment risk, the entity's need for liquidity, changes in foreign exchange risk, or other similar factors shall not be included in the held-to-maturity category because the possibility of a sale is indicative that the entity does not have a positive intent and ability to hold the security to maturity. A debt security that is considered available to be sold as part of an entity's asset-liability management activities shall not be classified as held-to-maturity. Similarly, an entity that maintains a dynamic hedging program in which changes in external factors require that certain securities be sold to maintain an effective hedge would not have the intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity.
    
3.  c
    
    Securities that may need to be sold to implement tax-planning strategies (for example, to generate taxable gains to offset existing taxable losses—or vice versa—or in response to changes in the entity's anticipated future profitability—for example, if taxable losses were expected for the next several years) should be classified as available-for-sale, not held-to-maturity.
    
4.  d
    
    The sale of a held-to-maturity security in advance of any deterioration in the creditworthiness of the issuer, perhaps based solely on industry statistics, will call into question an investor's stated intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future. The sale of a held-to-maturity security must be in response to an actual deterioration, not mere speculation. That deterioration shall be supported by evidence about the issuer's creditworthiness; however, the entity need not await an actual downgrading in the issuer's published credit rating or inclusion on a credit watch list.
    
5.  e
    
    The sale of held-to-maturity securities to meet regulatory capital requirements will call into question an investor's stated intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future. An entity's ability and intent to hold securities to maturity would be called into question by the sale of held-to-maturity securities to realize gains to replenish regulatory capital that had been reduced by a provision for loan losses. Gains trading with held-to-maturity securities to meet an entity's capital requirements is inconsistent with the held-to-maturity notion.
    
6.  f
    
    The exercise of a put option on a security classified as held-to-maturity will call into question an investor's stated intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future. Furthermore, a puttable debt security might be precluded from held-to-maturity classification pursuant to paragraph [860-20-35-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/860/20/#860-20-35-2).
    
7.  g
    
    Convertible debt securities shall not be classified as held-to-maturity. Classifying a security as held-to-maturity means that the entity is indifferent to future opportunities to profit from changes in the security's [fair value](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#fair-value "The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.") and intends to accept the debt security's stipulated contractual cash flows, including the repayment of principal at maturity. Convertible debt securities generally bear a lower interest rate because the investor hopes to benefit from appreciation in value of the option embedded in the debt security. Given the unique opportunities for profit embedded in a convertible security, it generally would be contradictory to assert the positive intent and ability to hold a convertible debt security to maturity and forego the opportunity to exercise the conversion feature. The exercise of a conversion feature on a security classified as held-to-maturity will call into question an investor's stated intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future. (See Section 815-15-25 for additional guidance. If convertible debt is bifurcated into an equity option and a host debt instrument under the requirements of Subtopic 815-15, it generally still would be contradictory to assert the positive intent and ability to hold the debt host contract to maturity and forego the opportunity to exercise the conversion feature.)
    
8.  h
    
    A documented policy to initially classify all debt securities as held-to-maturity but then automatically transfer every security to available-for-sale when it reaches a predetermined point before maturity (for example, every held-to-maturity security will be transferred to available-for-sale 24 months prior to its stated maturity) so that an entity has the flexibility to sell securities is not consistent with the held-to-maturity classification. Under the policy described, the entity does not intend to hold any security to maturity.
    
9.  i
    
    An insurance entity or other regulated entity shall not classify securities as held-to-maturity and also indicate to regulators that those securities could be sold to meet liquidity needs in a defined interest rate scenario whose likelihood of occurrence is reasonably possible but not probable.

The following changes in circumstances may cause the entity to change its intent to hold a certain security to maturity without calling into question its intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future. The sale or transfer of a held-to-maturity security due to one of the following changes in circumstances shall not be considered inconsistent with its original classification:

1.  a
    
    Evidence of a significant deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness (for example, a downgrading of an issuer's published credit rating)

4.  d
    
    A change in statutory or regulatory requirements significantly modifying either what constitutes a permissible investment or the maximum level of investments in certain kinds of securities, thereby causing an entity to dispose of a held-to-maturity security

    A significant increase by the regulator in the industry's capital requirements that causes the entity to downsize by selling held-to-maturity securities
    
6.  f
    
    A significant increase in the risk weights of debt securities used for regulatory risk-based capital purposes.

If a regulator directs a particular institution (rather than all institutions supervised by that regulator) to sell or transfer held-to-maturity securities (for example, to increase liquid assets), those sales or transfers are not consistent with paragraph [320-10-25-6(d)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-6), which describes a change in regulations applicable to all entities affected by the legislation or regulator enacting the change.

In addition to the changes in circumstances listed in paragraph [320-10-25-6(a) through (f)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-6), certain other events may cause the entity to sell or transfer a held-to-maturity security without necessarily calling into question (tainting) its intent to hold other debt securities to maturity. Such events must meet all of the following four conditions to avoid tainting its intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future:

1.  a
    
    The event is isolated.
    
2.  b
    
    The event is nonrecurring.
    
3.  c
    
    The event is unusual for the reporting entity.
    
4.  d
    
    The event could not have been reasonably anticipated.

Other than extremely remote disaster scenarios (such as a run on a bank or an insurance entity), very few events would meet all four of those conditions.

With respect to the discussion in paragraph [320-10-25-6(c)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-6) about a major business combination or a major disposition, this Subtopic does not specify a quantitative threshold for a major business combination or disposition. Examples of transactions that would qualify for the exception in paragraph [320-10-25-6(c)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-6) are as follows:

1.  a
    
    Sales of held-to-maturity securities only when the combination or disposition necessitates the sale or transfer of held-to-maturity securities to maintain the entity's existing interest rate risk position or credit risk policy. Necessary transfers or sales shall occur concurrent with or shortly after the business combination or disposition. This Subtopic does not define shortly. As time passes, however, it is increasingly difficult to demonstrate that the business combination, and not other events or circumstances, necessitated the transfer or sale of held-to-maturity securities.
    
2.  b
    
    A sale of a component of an entity is an example of a major disposition.

Sales of debt securities that meet either of the following conditions may be considered as maturities for purposes of the classification of securities and the disclosure requirements under this Subtopic:

1.  a
    
    The sale of a security occurs near enough to its maturity date (or call date if exercise of the call is probable) that interest rate risk is substantially eliminated as a pricing factor. That is, the date of sale is so near the maturity or call date (for example, within three months) that changes in market interest rates would not have a significant effect on the security's fair value.
    
2.  b
    
    The sale of a security occurs after the entity has already collected a substantial portion (at least 85 percent) of the principal outstanding at acquisition due either to prepayments on the debt security or to scheduled payments on a debt security payable in equal installments (both principal and interest) over its term. For variable-rate securities, the scheduled payments need not be equal.

Selling a debt security after a substantial portion of the principal has been collected shall be considered equivalent to holding the security to maturity. The collection of 85 percent of the principal outstanding at acquisition (not the principal outstanding at issuance for securities purchased in the secondary market) constitutes a reasonable threshold of what represents a substantial portion of the principal.

The limited practical exception in the preceding paragraph applies to both of the following:

1.  a
    
    Debt securities that are payable in equal installments that comprise both principal and interest, such as certain level-payment mortgage-backed securities. For example, many banks routinely sell their investments in mortgage-backed securities after a substantial portion of the principal has been recovered through prepayments. The tail portion of a mortgage-backed security is sold because it no longer represents an efficient investment to the entity mainly due to the economic costs of accounting for remnants of the original issue.
    
2.  b
    
    Variable-rate debt securities when the scheduled payments would be payable in equal installments absent a change in interest rates.

It is not appropriate to apply the limited practical exception in paragraph [320-10-25-15](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-15) by analogy to a debt security that has a contractual payment schedule of level principal payments plus interest that accrues based on the declining outstanding principal balance; the payments on that type of security do not represent equal installments that are made up of both principal and interest.

Specific scenarios in which a debt security may be classified as held to maturity (or where sale or transfer of a held-to-maturity security will not call into question an investor's stated intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future) are as follows:

1.  a
    
    Although its asset-liability management may encompass consideration of the maturity and repricing characteristics of all investments in debt securities, an entity may decide that it can accomplish the necessary adjustments under its asset-liability management without having all of its debt securities available for disposition. In that case, the entity may choose to designate certain debt securities as unavailable to be sold to accomplish those ongoing adjustments deemed necessary under its asset-liability management, thereby enabling those debt securities to be accounted for at amortized cost on the basis of a positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity.
    
2.  b
    
    The sale of one or more held-to-maturity securities if an entity chooses to downsize to comply with a significant increase in the industry's capital requirements would not call into question the classification of other held-to-maturity securities.
    
3.  c
    
    In some circumstances it may not be possible to hold a security to its original stated maturity, such as when the security is called by the issuer before maturity. The issuer's exercise of the call option effectively accelerates the security's maturity and shall not be viewed as inconsistent with classification in the held-to-maturity category.
    
4.  d
    
    A puttable debt security shall be classified as held-to-maturity only if the entity has the positive intent and ability to hold it to maturity.
    
5.  e
    
    If a transfer of a held-to-maturity debt security is accounted for as a sale under Subtopic 860-20 and it is transferred for a reason other than those specified in paragraphs [320-10-25-6](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-6), [320-10-25-9](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-9), and [320-10-25-14](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-14), then the transfer would taint the held-to-maturity portfolio. However, if the transfer is accounted for as a secured borrowing, then the transfer would not taint the held-to-maturity portfolio. Transactions involving held-to-maturity securities that are not accounted for as sales under Subtopic 860-20 would not contradict an entity's stated intent to hold a security to maturity and, therefore, do not call into question the entity's intent to hold other debt securities to maturity. Examples of such transactions are as follows:
    
    1.  1
        
        Held-to-maturity securities pledged as collateral, provided that the transaction is not accounted for as a sale under Subtopic 860-20 and the entity intends and expects to be able to satisfy the obligation and recover access to its collateral
        
    2.  2
        
        Held-to-maturity securities subject to a repurchase agreement or a securities lending agreement, provided that the transaction is accounted for as a secured borrowing under Subtopic 860-20 and the entity intends and expects to be able to repay the borrowing
        
    3.  3
        
        Beneficial interests classified as held-to-maturity that are desecuritized in a transaction that is not accounted for as a sale if the financial assets received in or that continue to be held after the desecuritization are held to maturity. Unless the debt instrument received or retained as a result of the transaction is held to maturity, the transaction would call into question the entity's intent to hold other debt securities to maturity. Desecuritizations are not specifically included within the scope of this paragraph. Nevertheless, that guidance is also appropriate for desecuritizations that are not accounted for as sales.

The following guidance discusses a specific type of transaction in which [structured note](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#structured-note "A debt instrument whose cash flows are linked to the movement in one or more indexes, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodities prices, prepayment rates, or other market variables. Structured notes are issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, multilateral development banks, municipalities, and private entities. The notes typically contain embedded (but not separable or detachable) forward components or option components such as caps, calls, and floors. Contractual cash flows for principal, interest, or both can vary in amount and timing throughout the life of the note based on nontraditional indexes or nontraditional uses of traditional interest rates or indexes.") securities are issued in combination with other structured note securities as a unit or a pair for the purpose of achieving a certain strategic investment result for the investor. One strategy involves the purchase of two structured notes with opposite interest rate reset provisions. Under that strategy, the fixed coupon rate or maturity date for each structured note would be determined shortly after issuance depending on movements in market interest rates. Following that reset date, the resulting yields on each of the structured note securities will move in opposite directions; however, the average yield of the two securities will generally reflect the market yield of the combined instruments in effect on the issuance date. See Example 2 (paragraph [320-10-55-20](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-55-20)) for a common example of this strategy and of how the structured note transactions can be used to achieve one of many desired accounting results.

Because an entity is expected not to change its intent about a held-to-maturity security, the requirement to reassess the appropriateness of a security's classification focuses on the entity's ability to hold a security to maturity. The preceding paragraph acknowledges that facts and circumstances can change; for example, an entity can lose the ability to hold a debt security to maturity. However, that acknowledgment in no way diminishes the restrictive nature of the held-to-maturity category.

A sale or transfer of a security classified as held-to-maturity that occurs for a reason other than those specified in paragraphs [320-10-25-6](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-6), [320-10-25-9](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-9), and [320-10-25-14](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-14), calls into question (taints) the entity's intent about all securities that remain in the held-to-maturity category. The entity makes the same assertion about all debt securities in the held-to-maturity category—namely, that it has the positive intent and ability to hold each security to maturity. Only a sale or transfer in response to certain changes in conditions will not call into question an entity's intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future.

The amortization of an unrealized holding gain or loss reported in equity will offset or mitigate the effect on interest income of the amortization of the premium or discount (discussed in the following sentence) for that held-to-maturity security.

When a security is transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity, the transfer may create a premium or discount that, under amortized cost accounting, shall be amortized as a yield adjustment in accordance with Subtopic 310-20. The security's amortized cost basis is determined as the amortized cost basis at the transfer date (which is reduced by any previous writeoffs but excludes any allowance for credit losses) plus or minus the amount of any remaining unrealized holding gain or loss reported in accumulated other comprehensive income.

This guidance addresses the accounting for certain structured notes that are in the form of debt securities, but does not apply to any of the following:

1.  a
    
    Mortgage loans or other similar debt instruments that do not meet the definition of a security under this Subtopic
    
2.  b
    
    Traditional convertible bonds that are convertible into the stock of the issuer
    
3.  c
    
    Multicurrency debt securities
    
4.  d
    
    Debt securities classified as trading
    
5.  e
    
    [Subparagraph not used](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/updates/page-1833002/).
    
6.  f
    
    Debt securities participating directly in the results of an issuer's operations (for example, participating mortgages or similar instruments)
    
7.  g
    
    Reverse mortgages
    
8.  h
    
    [Structured note](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#structured-note "A debt instrument whose cash flows are linked to the movement in one or more indexes, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodities prices, prepayment rates, or other market variables. Structured notes are issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, multilateral development banks, municipalities, and private entities. The notes typically contain embedded (but not separable or detachable) forward components or option components such as caps, calls, and floors. Contractual cash flows for principal, interest, or both can vary in amount and timing throughout the life of the note based on nontraditional indexes or nontraditional uses of traditional interest rates or indexes.") securities that, by their terms, suggest that it is reasonably possible that the entity could lose all or substantially all of its original investment amount (for other than failure of the borrower to pay the contractual amounts due). (Such securities shall be subsequently measured at fair value with all changes in fair value reported in earnings.)
    

Also, this guidance shall be applied to those beneficial interests involving securitized financial assets that do not involve contractual cash flows.

Entities shall use the [retrospective interest method](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#retrospective-interest-method "A method of interest income recognition under which income for the current period is measured as the difference between the amortized cost at the end of the period and the amortized cost at the beginning of the period, plus any cash received during the period.") for recognizing income on structured note securities that are classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity debt securities and that meet any of the following conditions:

1.  a
    
    Either the contractual principal amount of the note to be paid at maturity or the original investment amount is at risk (for other than failure of the borrower to pay the contractual amounts due). Examples include principal-indexed notes that base principal repayment on movements in the Standard & Poor's S&P 500 Index or notes that base principal repayment on the occurrence of certain events or circumstances.
    
2.  b
    
    The note's return on investment is subject to variability (other than due to credit rating changes of the borrower) because of either of the following:
    
    1.  1
        
        There is no stated coupon rate or the stated coupon is not fixed or prespecified, and the variation in the return on investment or coupon rate is not a constant percentage of, or in the same direction as, changes in market-based interest rates or interest rate index, for example, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the U.S. Treasury Bill Index.
        
    2.  2
        
        The variable or fixed coupon rate is below market rates of interest for traditional notes of comparable maturity and a portion of the potential yield (for example, upside potential for principal) is based on the occurrence of future events or circumstances. (Examples of instruments that meet this condition include inverse floating-rate notes, dual-index floating notes, and equity-linked bear notes.)
        
3.  c
    
    The contractual maturity of the bond is based on a specific index or on the occurrence of specific events or circumstances outside the control of the parties to the transaction, excluding the passage of time or events that result in normal covenant violations. Examples of instruments that meet this condition include index amortizing notes and notes that base contractual maturity on the price of oil.

Under the retrospective interest method, the income recognized for a reporting period would be measured as the difference between the amortized cost of the security at the end of the period and the amortized cost at the beginning of the period, plus any cash received during the period. The amortized cost would be calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows using an effective yield, which is the yield that equates all past actual and current estimated future cash flow streams to the initial investment. If the effective yield is negative (that is, the sum of the newly estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the security's amortized cost), the amortized cost would be calculated using a zero percent effective yield. Example 1 (see paragraph [320-10-55-16](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-55-16)) illustrates the application of the retrospective interest method.

Section 860-10-40 provides guidance on determining whether a transfer of [securities](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#security "A share, participation, or other interest in property or in an entity of the issuer or an obligation of the issuer that has all of the following characteristics: It is either represented by an instrument issued in bearer or registered form or, if not represented by an instrument, is registered in books maintained to record transfers by or on behalf of the issuer. It is of a type commonly dealt in on securities exchanges or markets or, when represented by an instrument, is commonly recognized in any area in which it is issued or dealt in as a medium for investment. It either is one of a class or series or by its terms is divisible into a class or series of shares, participations, interests, or obligations.") shall be accounted for as a sale. With respect to [trading securities](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#trading-securities "Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term and therefore held for only a short period of time. Trading generally reflects active and frequent buying and selling, and trading securities are generally used with the objective of generating profits on short-term differences in price."), because all changes in a trading security's [fair value](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#fair-value "The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.") are reported in earnings as they occur, the sale of a trading security does not necessarily give rise to a gain or loss. Generally, a debit to cash (or trade date receivable) is recorded for the sales proceeds, and a credit is recorded to remove the security at its fair value (or sales price). If the entity is not taxed on the changes in fair value, the deferred tax accounts would be adjusted. Some adjustment to this procedure will be necessary for entities that have not yet recorded the security's change in fair value up to the point of sale (perhaps because fair value changes are recorded at the end of each day).

Although entities have different bookkeeping methods for [available-for-sale securities](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/a/#available-for-sale-securities "Investments not classified as either trading securities or as held-to-maturity securities."), generally, a sale of an available-for-sale security shall be recorded by a debit to cash (or trade date receivable) for the sales proceeds, and a credit to remove the security at its fair value (or sales price). The amount recorded in other comprehensive income, representing the unrealized gain or loss at the date of sale, is reversed into earnings, and the deferred tax accounts are adjusted. Some adjustment to this procedure will be necessary for entities that have not yet recorded the security's change in fair value up to the point of sale (perhaps because fair value changes are recorded at the end of each interim period) or when write-downs have been recognized.

If for the purposes of identifying and measuring an impairment the applicable accrued interest is excluded from the amortized cost basis of held-to-maturity securities, an entity may, as a practical expedient, exclude the accrued interest receivable balance that is included in the amortized cost basis of the held-to-maturity securities for the purposes of the disclosure requirements in paragraph [320-10-50-5](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-50-5). If an entity applies this practical expedient, it shall disclose the total amount of accrued interest, net of the allowance for credit losses (if any), excluded from the disclosed amortized cost basis.

All of the following debt instruments are within the scope of this Topic if they meet the definition of a [debt security](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/d/#debt-security "Any security representing a creditor relationship with an entity. The term debt security also includes all of the following: Preferred stock that by its terms either must be redeemed by the issuing entity or is redeemable at the option of the investor A collateralized mortgage obligation (or other instrument) that is issued in equity form but is required to be accounted for as a nonequity instrument regardless of how that instrument is classified (that is, whether equity or debt) in the issuer's statement of financial position U.S. Treasury securities U.S. government agency securities Municipal securities Corporate bonds Convertible debt Commercial paper All securitized debt instruments, such as collateralized mortgage obligations and real estate mortgage investment conduits Interest-only and principal-only strips. The term debt security excludes all of the following: Option contracts Financial futures contracts Forward contracts Lease contracts Receivables that do not meet the definition of security and, so, are not debt securities, for example: Trade accounts receivable arising from sales on credit by industrial or commercial entities Loans receivable arising from consumer, commercial, and real estate lending activities of financial institutions."):

1.  a
    
    Loans restructured as securities. For example, any loan that was restructured involving a modification of terms would be subject to the provisions of this Topic if the debt instrument meets the definition of a [security](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#security "A share, participation, or other interest in property or in an entity of the issuer or an obligation of the issuer that has all of the following characteristics: It is either represented by an instrument issued in bearer or registered form or, if not represented by an instrument, is registered in books maintained to record transfers by or on behalf of the issuer. It is of a type commonly dealt in on securities exchanges or markets or, when represented by an instrument, is commonly recognized in any area in which it is issued or dealt in as a medium for investment. It either is one of a class or series or by its terms is divisible into a class or series of shares, participations, interests, or obligations."). See paragraph [310-20-40-10](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/310/20/#310-20-40-10) for additional information.
    
2.  b
    
    Beneficial interests in securitized financial assets that are in equity form but that meet the definition of a debt security. For example, some beneficial interests issued in the form of equity represent solely a right to receive a stream of future cash flows to be collected under preset terms and conditions (that is, a creditor relationship), while others, according to the terms of the special-purpose entity, must be redeemed by the issuing entity or must be redeemable at the option of the investor. Consequently, those beneficial interests would be within the scope of both this Topic and Subtopic 325-40 since they are required to be accounted for as debt securities.
    
3.  c
    
    Certificates of deposit (CDs) or guaranteed investment contracts. For example, certain negotiable jumbo CDs and guaranteed investment contracts might meet the definition of security, which was modeled after the definition provided in the Uniform Commercial Code.
    
4.  d
    
    Redeemable convertible preferred stock. For example, convertible preferred stock that has mandatory redemption provisions or is redeemable at the option of the investor is considered a debt security and this Topic would apply.

Even if a loan could readily be converted into a security, the loan is not a debt security until it has been securitized. An example of unsecuritized loans is unsecuritized mortgage loans. However, after mortgage loans are converted to mortgage-backed securities, they are subject to the guidance in this Topic.

Sales of securities that the seller does not own at the time of sale are obligations to deliver securities, not investments. Short sale obligations are addressed in the guidance for certain industries (see paragraph [940-320-35-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/940/#320-940-35-1) with respect to broker-dealers and paragraph [942-405-25-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/405/942/#405-942-25-1) with respect to depository institutions). For guidance on evaluating whether a short sale transaction involves a derivative instrument, see paragraph [815-10-55-57](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/815/10/#815-10-55-57).

For example, an entity invests in a limited partnership interest (or a venture capital entity) that meets the definition of an equity security. However, substantially all of the partnership's assets consist of investments in debt securities. It is not appropriate to look through the form of an investment to determine whether this Topic applies. In the specific situation described in this paragraph, the investment would be considered an equity security. So, this Topic would not apply to that type of investment. (Topic 321 and Subtopic 323-30 provide guidance on the accounting for limited partnership investments.) Another example of an investment that is considered an equity security is an investment in a mutual fund that invests only in U.S. government debt securities.

The following are descriptions of various [structured notes](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#structured-note "A debt instrument whose cash flows are linked to the movement in one or more indexes, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodities prices, prepayment rates, or other market variables. Structured notes are issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, multilateral development banks, municipalities, and private entities. The notes typically contain embedded (but not separable or detachable) forward components or option components such as caps, calls, and floors. Contractual cash flows for principal, interest, or both can vary in amount and timing throughout the life of the note based on nontraditional indexes or nontraditional uses of traditional interest rates or indexes."), using illustrative terms:

1.  a
    
    Dual-index floater. A bond with a coupon rate that is determined by the spread between two different indexes and that usually includes an above-market interest rate in Year 1. These bonds may have a teaser fixed rate for the first period of the bond's life, after which the interest rate floats according to a predetermined formula.
    
2.  b
    
    Inverse floater. A bond with a coupon rate of interest that varies inversely with changes in specified general interest rate levels or indexes, for example, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR).
    
3.  c
    
    Levered inverse floater. A bond with a coupon that varies indirectly with changes in general interest rate levels and that applies a multiplier (greater than 1.00) to the specified index in its calculation of interest.
    
4.  d
    
    Delevered floater. A bond with a coupon rate of interest that lags overall movements in specified general interest rate levels or indexes.
    
5.  e
    
    Range floater. A bond in which the investor's coupon is dependent on the number of days that a reference rate stays within a preestablished collar; otherwise, the bond pays either 0% interest or a below-market rate.
    
6.  f
    
    Lower-of and higher-of floaters. A bond that pays an interest rate stated as the lower of or higher of two different formulas.
    
7.  g
    
    Ratchet floater. A bond that pays a floating rate of interest and has an adjustable cap and/or floor that moves in sync with each new reset rate.
    
8.  h
    
    Stepped cap-floor floaters. A bond that pays a floating rate of interest, subject to a scheduled cap, scheduled floor, or both.
    
9.  i
    
    Floating to floating notes. Varying coupon (first-year LIBOR or U.S. Treasury bill based, second-year prime based).
    
10.  j
     
     Floating to fixed notes. Varying coupon (first-year coupon is fixed, second- and third-year coupons are based on LIBOR, U.S. Treasury bills, or prime).
     
11.  k
     
     Indexed amortizing notes. A bond that repays principal based on a predetermined amortization schedule or target value. This value is linked to movements within a specific mortgage-backed security or index. The maturity of the bond changes as the related index changes. This instrument includes a varying maturity.
     
12.  l
     
     Equity indexed notes. Bond return of interest and/or principal is tied to a specified equity index (for example, the Standard & Poor's S&P 500 Index). This instrument may contain fixed or varying coupon rate and may place all or a portion of principal at risk.
     
13.  m
     
     Variable principal redemption bond. A bond whose principal redemption value at maturity is dependent on the change in an underlying index over a predetermined observation period. A typical scenario would be a bond that guarantees a minimum par redemption value of 100%, and the potential for a supplemental principal payment at maturity as compensation for the below-market rate of interest offered with the instrument (providing that the bond satisfies the indexing requirements as outlined in the terms of the offering).
     
14.  n
     
     Yield curve note. Fixed coupon, principal varies as follows: \[(5-year swap rate - 3-month $LIBOR - 1%) × 40 + 100%\] × par (but not less than zero).
     
15.  o
     
     Crude oil knock-in notes. 1% coupon, principal guaranteed with upside potential based on the strength of the oil market.
     
16.  p
     
     Leveraged gold notes. Coupon is zero, variable principal based on the London Gold Index. These notes are designed to incorporate a collar on gold, whereby the investor buys a call and sells a put, in exchange for the coupon.
     
17.  q
     
     Gold-linked bull note. Fixed 3% coupon, principal is guaranteed with upside potential if the price of gold increases.
     
18.  r
     
     Equity-linked bear note. Fixed 4% coupon, principal is guaranteed with upside potential if a specified Standard & Poor's index falls.
     
19.  s
     
     Step-up bonds. Bond provides an introductory above-market yield and the bond then steps up to a new coupon that will be below then-current market rates or, alternatively, the bond may be called.
     
20.  t
     
     Multi step-ups. A security that pays investors an introductory above-market yield—reflecting an embedded call option—for a short lockout period, and then is either called or steps up to a higher coupon rate (which will be below then-current market rates). These bonds can also take the form of step-down or variable step-up structures.
     
21.  u
     
     Credit-sensitive bond. A bond that has a coupon rate of interest that resets based on changes in an entity's credit rating.
     
22.  v
     
     Inflation bond. A bond with a contractual principal amount that is indexed to the inflation rate; the coupon rate is typically below that of traditional bonds of similar maturity.
     
23.  w
     
     Disaster bond. A bond that pays a coupon above that of traditional bonds; however, a substantial portion or all of the principal amount is subject to loss if a specified disaster occurs.
     
24.  x
     
     Specific equity-linked bond. A bond that pays a coupon slightly below that of traditional bonds of similar maturity; however, the principal amount is linked to the stock market performance of an equity investee of the issuer. The issuer may settle the obligation by delivering the underlying shares of the equity investee or may deliver the equivalent [fair value](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#fair-value "The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.") in cash.

Paragraph [320-10-35-40](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-35-40) requires the [retrospective interest method](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#retrospective-interest-method "A method of interest income recognition under which income for the current period is measured as the difference between the amortized cost at the end of the period and the amortized cost at the beginning of the period, plus any cash received during the period.") to recognize income on certain securities. The amortized cost amount is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows using an effective yield, which is the yield that equates all past actual and current estimates of future cash flow streams to the initial investment. If the effective yield is negative, the amortized cost amount should be calculated using a zero percent effective yield. Thus, the following procedures would be required for each reporting period:

1.  a
    
    Calculate the effective yield that equates all past actual cash flows and current estimates of future cash flows to the initial investment amount.
    
2.  b
    
    Using the rate calculated in (a), or zero percent if negative, calculate the present value of the estimated future cash flows. That amount represents the amortized cost at the end of the period.
    
3.  c
    
    Adjust the amortized cost balance to the amount calculated in (b) with the offsetting amount recognized as income for the period.

This paragraph and the following paragraph address whether an investor should account for the two structured note securities together as a unit or account for each security separately. The following indicators should be considered for purposes of identifying whether two securities should be viewed as being purchased for a specified investment strategy. All of these indicators are not required to exist for the securities to be accounted for as a unit. Judgment is required in reaching a determination.

1.  a
    
    The two securities are related in that their fair values will move in opposite directions based on changes in interest rates on a specified date, or after a specified period after issuance. The fair value changes may be caused by a change in the coupon interest rate of the two securities or by altering the maturities of the securities.
    
2.  b
    
    The two securities are issued contemporaneously and in contemplation of one another or are issued separately but the terms for their remaining lives are as described in (a).
    
3.  c
    
    The two securities are issued by the same counterparty and/or the same issuer (or issued by different issuers but structured through an intermediary).
    
4.  d
    
    The two securities were purchased by the investor for the sole purpose of achieving a desired accounting result, and the transactions considered individually would serve no valid business purpose or would not be entered into otherwise.

The substance of the investment strategy provided in Example 2 (see paragraph [320-10-55-20](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-55-20)) is that the investor has simply purchased a single market-based security that results in neither a gain nor a loss when the interest rate resets and, as such, the accounting should not reflect something different. However, other factors, such as a change in credit ratings or a change in market rates, may cause a change in fair value of the unit.

1.  a
    
    The investor purchases a 3-year, $100 par value structured note at par.
    
2.  b
    
    The principal to be repaid at maturity is based on the performance of the Standard & Poor's S&P 500 Index, which, based on current Standard & Poor's S&P Futures indexes, is expected to provide the investor with principal of $106 at the end of Year 3, and the coupon interest on the note is fixed at 6 percent per year.
    
3.  c
    
    On the acquisition date of the note, the investor expects the following cash flows and income to be recognized over the life of the note.

At the end of Year 1, assume the investor expects to receive only $80 in principal at the end of Year 3, which results in a negative effective yield of 0.71 percent over the life of the note (assume that the investor concludes that a credit loss has not occurred). Accordingly, the amortized cost amount must be reduced to the present value of the estimated future cash flows using a zero percent effective yield, or $92, at the end of Year 1. The income recognized in Year 1 is negative $2 (the amortized cost amount at the end of Year 1 in the table below of $92 less the amortized cost amount at the beginning of the year of $100 plus cash received during the year of $6). The cash flow and income recognition table as of the end of Year 1 is as follows.

Using the first table above, the investor would increase the amortized cost amount of the note to $103.85 at the end of Year 2, which would result in recognizing income of $17.85 in Year 2 (amortized cost from the first table at the end of Year 2 of $103.85 less the amortized cost from the second table at the end of Year 1 of $92 plus cash received in Year 2 of $6).

If accounted for as separate instruments, the entity could classify the bonds as available-for-sale. (Note that these securities would have to be accounted for as a unit rather than as separate instruments.) After the interest rates on the bonds reset, the entity will sell the bond that is in a loss position recognizing a loss in earnings of $475 million (assuming that the current interest rate is 8 percent). The bond that is in a gain position will have a $475 million unrealized gain in other comprehensive income that will be recognized in earnings as a yield adjustment over the remaining 10-year life of the instrument (assuming no further changes in value).

For illustrative purposes, amortization of the premium and the unrealized holding gain was computed on a straight-line basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities should be amortized pursuant to Subtopic 310-20. Paragraph [320-10-35-10B](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-35-10B) requires that the unrealized [holding gain or loss](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/h/#holding-gain-or-loss "The net change in fair value of a security. The holding gain or loss does not include dividend or interest income recognized but not yet received, writeoffs, or the allowance for credit losses.") at the date of transfer be amortized in a manner consistent with any premium or discount. The Cumulative Effect on Interest Income column represents the difference between the amortization of the premium and the unrealized holding gain over the life of the security, and does not reflect any coupon interest received.

The following is the text of SEC Staff Announcement: Adjustments in Assets and Liabilities for Holding Gains and Losses as Related to the Implementation of Subtopic 320-10.

-   The SEC staff has been asked whether certain assets and liabilities, such as noncontrolling interests, certain life insurance policyholder liabilities, deferred acquisition costs, and intangible assets arising from insurance contracts acquired in business combinations, should be adjusted with a corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive income at the same time unrealized holding gains and losses from securities classified as available-for-sale are recognized in other comprehensive income. That is, should the carrying value of these assets and liabilities be adjusted to the amount that would have been reported had unrealized gains and losses been realized?
    
-   Paragraph [740-20-45-11(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/740/20/#740-20-45-11) addresses specifically the classification of the deferred tax effects of unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income. Paragraph [740-20-45-11(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/740/20/#740-20-45-11) requires that the tax effects of those gains and losses be reported as charges or credits directly to other comprehensive income. That is, the recognition of unrealized holding gains and losses in equity may create temporary differences for which deferred taxes would be recognized, the effect of which would be reported in accumulated other comprehensive income along with the related unrealized holding gains and losses. Therefore, deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be recognized for the temporary differences relating to unrealized holding gains and losses as though those gains and losses actually had been realized, except the corresponding charges or credits are reported in other comprehensive income rather than as charges or credits to income in the statement of income.
    
-   By analogy to paragraph [740-20-45-11(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/740/20/#740-20-45-11), the SEC staff believes that, in addition to adjusting deferred tax assets and liabilities, registrants should adjust other assets and liabilities that would have been adjusted if the unrealized holding gains and losses from securities classified as available-for-sale actually had been realized. That is, to the extent that unrealized holding gains or losses from securities classified as available-for-sale would result in adjustments of noncontrolling interest, policyholder liabilities, deferred acquisition costs that are amortized using the gross-profits method, or intangible assets arising from insurance contracts acquired in business combinations that are amortized using the gross-profits method had those gains or losses actually been realized, the SEC staff believes that those balance sheet amounts should be adjusted with corresponding credits or charges reported directly to other comprehensive income. As a practical matter, the staff, at this time, would not extend those adjustments to other accounts such as liabilities for compensation to employees. The adjustments to asset accounts should be accomplished by way of valuation allowances that would be adjusted at subsequent balance sheet dates.
    
-   For example, certain policyholder liabilities should be adjusted to the extent that liabilities exist for insurance policies that, by contract, credit or charge the policyholders for either a portion or all of the realized gains or losses of specific securities classified as available-for-sale. Further, asset amounts that are amortized using the gross-profits method, such as deferred acquisition costs accounted for under paragraphs [944-30-35-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/944/30/#944-30-35-4) and [944-30-35-11](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/944/30/#944-30-35-11) and certain intangible assets arising from insurance contracts acquired in business combinations, should be adjusted to reflect the effects that would have been recognized had the unrealized holding gains and losses actually been realized. Further, capitalized acquisition costs associated with insurance contracts covered by paragraphs [944-30-35-1A through 35-3A](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/944/30/#944-30-35-1A) and [944-30-35-17](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/944/30/#944-30-35-17) should not be adjusted for an unrealized holding gain or loss unless a "premium deficiency" would have resulted had the gain or loss actually been realized.
    
-   This announcement should not affect reported net income. It addresses only the adjustment of certain assets and liabilities and the reporting of unrealized holding gains and losses from securities classified as available for sale.

## ASC 320-940: Investments—Debt Securities — Financial Services—Brokers and Dealers

  "summary": "This subtopic governs how broker-dealers account for investments in debt and equity securities, covering both clearance/settlement activities (General) and proprietary trading (Proprietary Trading Securities). The core rules are that all regular-way trades are reflected on a trade-date basis (320-940-25-1), and proprietary security positions — both inventory and obligations for short inventory positions — are measured initially and subsequently at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in profit or loss (320-940-30-2, 35-1, 35-2).",
  "key_points": [
    "The statement of financial condition shall reflect all regular-way trades on an accrual or trade-date basis, because risk, benefits, and economic potentials are conveyed at the trade date (320-940-25-1).",
    "A purchase for the broker-dealer's own account is recorded in inventory with a corresponding credit to net receivable or payable for unsettled regular-way trades; if exchange does not occur on the contracted settlement date, the transaction is reported as a fail-to-receive or fail-to-deliver (320-940-25-2).",
    "Accrued interest on fixed-income securities is computed from the last coupon payment date to the settlement date and is paid by the purchaser to the seller (320-940-30-1).",
    "Security positions from proprietary trading — inventory and obligations for short inventory positions — are measured initially and subsequently at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses included in profit or loss measured as the difference between acquisition cost and fair value (320-940-30-2, 35-1 through 35-3).",
    "Proprietary securities transactions for trading or investment purposes are included in securities owned and securities sold, not yet purchased; payables and receivables from unsettled regular-way trades may be recorded net (320-940-45-2, 45-3).",
    "Trading gains and losses (realized and unrealized) are generally presented net, and income and expense from complex trading strategies may be reflected net on the income statement (320-940-45-5, 45-6).",
    "Trading securities activities are reported in the operating section of the statement of cash flows, and gross components of complex trading strategies not shown on the face of the income statement must be disclosed in the notes (320-940-45-7, 50-1)."

The Proprietary Trading Securities Subsections provide guidance on accounting for [proprietary transactions](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#proprietary-transactions "Transactions in financial instruments that broker-dealers execute for their own account."). A broker-dealer may buy and sell securities for its own account. Broker-dealers frequently enter into matched-stock borrow and loan transactions as a finder or conduit, or enter into [repurchase](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#repurchase-agreement "An agreement under which the transferor (repo party) transfers a financial asset to a transferee (repo counterparty or reverse party) in exchange for cash and concurrently agrees to reacquire that financial asset at a future date for an amount equal to the cash exchanged plus or minus a stipulated interest factor. Instead of cash, other securities or letters of credit sometimes are exchanged. Some repurchase agreements call for repurchase of financial assets that need not be identical to the financial assets transferred.") and reverse repurchase transaction agreements as part of a matched-book trading strategy. Further, complex trading strategies often involve numerous long and short positions in different products, so that those positions reflect a trading position that is different from its individual components (for example, [box spreads](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/b/#box-spread "A combination of long calls and short puts (identical with respect to the underlying security issue, number of shares, exercise price, and expiration date) coupled with long puts and short calls (identical with respect to the underlying security issue, number of shares, exercise price, and expiration date). In boxing (coupling), the long calls and short puts with the long puts and short calls, the underlying security issue, the number of shares, and the expiration date remain identical. However, the exercise price of each combination is at a different amount."), conversions, and reversals).

The risk of nonperformance of [regular-way trades](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#regular-way-trades "Regular-way trades include both of the following: All transactions in exchange-traded financial instruments that are expected to settle within the standard settlement cycle of that exchange (for example, three days for U.S. exchanges) All transactions in cash-market-traded financial instruments that are expected to settle within the time frame prevalent or traditional for each specific instrument (for example, for U.S. government securities, one or two days).") is minimal given all of the following:

1.  a
    
    They are fully collateralized on the trade date.
    
2.  b
    
    The period of time between trade date and settlement date is reasonably short.
    
3.  c
    
    Most equity, U.S. government, and mortgage-backed agency securities are affirmed by both parties to the trade and settle net through a clearing entity.

## ASC 320-942: Investments—Debt Securities — Financial Services—Depository and Lending

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "This industry Subtopic supplements ASC 320-10 for depository and financial institutions (banks, thrifts, savings banks, credit unions, finance companies, insurance entities), addressing how they measure and disclose investments in debt and equity securities. Its core content is disclosure: securities must be broken out by prescribed major security types and by at least four maturity groupings, collateral pledged must be disclosed, and the accounting policy (including basis for classification) explained. It also confirms that amortization or accretion of debt securities generally runs from the purchase date to maturity, and that bank regulators' general divestiture authority does not by itself defeat held-to-maturity classification.",
  "key_points": [
    "The period of amortization or accretion for debt securities generally extends from the purchase date to the maturity date unless other Topics apply (320-942-35-1).",
    "For purposes of the ASC 320-10-50-1 through 50-3 and 50-5 through 50-5C disclosures, 'financial institutions' includes banks, savings and loan associations, savings banks, credit unions, finance companies, and insurance entities (320-942-50-1).",
    "Disclosures must present prescribed major security types—equity securities segregated by industry type, entity size, or investment objective; U.S. Treasury/agency, state and political subdivision, foreign government, and corporate debt; residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities; collateralized debt obligations; and other debt obligations (320-942-50-2).",
    "Mutual funds that invest only in U.S. government debt securities may be shown separately rather than grouped with other equity securities (320-942-50-2A).",
    "The net carrying amount of debt securities must be disclosed in at least four maturity groupings (within 1 year, 1–5 years, 5–10 years, after 10 years), with securities lacking a single maturity date (e.g., mortgage-backed securities) either shown separately or allocated with the basis of allocation disclosed (320-942-50-3); public business entities must also disclose fair value by the same groupings (320-942-50-3A).",
    "The carrying amount of investment assets pledged as collateral for public funds, repurchase agreements, and other borrowings, if not otherwise disclosed under Topic 860, must be disclosed in the notes, and the notes must explain the institution's securities accounting policy including the basis for classification (320-942-50-4; 320-942-50-5).",
    "A regulator's general authority to require divestiture is not an automatic impairment of the ability to hold a security to maturity, though specific facts and circumstances may indicate the institution lacks that ability (320-942-55-1; 320-942-55-2)."

Regulators of financial institutions can, under appropriate circumstances, conclude that the continued ownership of any asset represents an undue safety and soundness risk to an institution and, accordingly, require the divestiture of that asset. It was not intended that a regulator's overall divestiture authority be considered as an automatic impairment of an institution's ability to hold any security to maturity, since impairment would have precluded any use of the held-to-maturity category by regulated financial institutions. However, specific facts and circumstances could indicate that an institution does not have the ability to hold a security to maturity.

The federal regulatory agencies note that only in rare circumstances have examiners required a financial institution to dispose of mortgage securities that have become high-risk after acquisition. Such circumstances have occurred only when examiners have determined that there is a significant safety and soundness concern with respect to a particular institution that has arisen from its holdings of these assets. The agencies note that examiners' divestiture authority is not unique to high-risk mortgage securities but rather is the same authority they have with respect to any other security or asset. Thus, the mere existence of examiners' divestiture authority for high-risk mortgage securities should not preclude an institution from concluding it has the intent and ability to hold to maturity those securities that were non-high-risk when acquired.

An investment company's securities portfolio typically comprises substantially all its net assets. Portfolio securities produce income from dividends, interest, and changes in [fair values](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#fair-value "The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.") of securities while they are owned by the fund.

High-yield debt securities ([junk bonds](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/j/#junk-bonds "See High-Yield Debt Securities.")) take various forms. The most common forms may include zero-coupon bonds, [payment-in-kind bonds](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#payment-in-kind-bonds "Bonds in which the issuer has the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in cash or in additional debt securities. Those additional debt securities are referred to as baby or bunny bonds. Baby bonds generally have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, as the original bonds (parent payment-in-kind bonds). Interest on baby bonds may also be paid in cash or in additional like-kind debt securities at the option of the issuer."), and deep-discount [step bonds](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#step-bonds "Bonds that involve a combination of deferred-interest payment dates and increasing interest payment amounts over the bond lives and, thus, bear some similarity to zero-coupon bonds and to traditional debentures."). High-yield debt securities have supplied significant capital for business expansion and corporate restructuring. These securities are inherently different from investment-grade debt securities. They present additional credit, liquidity, and market risks for all participants in this marketplace: holders, issuers, underwriters, and broker-dealers.

High-yield debt securities typically are unsecured and subordinate to other debt outstanding. Many issuers of high-yield debt securities are highly leveraged, with limited equity capital. That, plus a market for such securities that may not always be liquid, may increase the market risk, liquidity risk, and credit risk of high-yield debt securities as follows:

1.  a
    
    Market risk. In contrast to investment-grade bonds (the market prices of which change primarily as a reaction to changes in interest rates), the market prices of high-yield bonds (which are also affected by changes in interest rates) are influenced much more by credit factors and financial results of the issuer and by general economic factors that influence the financial markets as a whole. Such factors often make it difficult to substantiate the market valuation of high-yield bonds.
    
2.  b
    
    Liquidity risk. The market risk is often heightened by liquidity risk; that is, the absence of centralized high-yield bond exchanges and relatively thin trading markets, which make it more difficult to liquidate holdings quickly and increase the volatility of the market price. There is generally no centralized or regulated procedure for pricing high-yield debt issues.
    
3.  c
    
    Credit risk. Issues of high-yield debt securities are more likely to default on interest or principal than are issues of investment-grade securities.

Interest for some high-yield debt securities is not paid currently. Instead, interest may be deferred and paid at maturity (zero-coupon bonds) or in periodic interest payments that do not commence until a specific date in the securities' life cycle (step bonds), or interest may be paid in the form of additional debt securities of the issuer bearing similar terms (payment-in-kind bonds).

Interest receivable from debt securities generally comprises both of the following distinct components:

1.  a
    
    Interest purchased from the previous bondholder
    
2.  b
    
    Interest accrued by the investment company during the holding period.

If market prices fluctuate significantly or issues of debt securities have defaulted, a judgment about whether to write off interest receivable will involve both components. Writeoffs of interest receivable differ from traditional writeoffs of trade accounts receivable since they can significantly affect an investment company's statement of operations, the performance measurement ratios of expenses to average net assets, and net investment income to average net assets.

The market for many high-yield debt securities is relatively thin. When issuers of high-yield and other debt securities default, the bondholders often become active in any negotiations and in the workout process. This process often results in new terms that restructure the obligations to allow the issuer to continue to meet its ongoing interest obligations and maintain some, if not all, of the principal value to the holders of the obligations.

Adverse economic developments often lead to increases in the default rates of high-yield and other debt securities. In addition to occasional [capital infusions](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#capital-infusions "Expenditures made directly to the issuer to ensure that operations are completed, thereby allowing the issuer to generate cash flows to service the debt. Such expenditures are usually nonrecurring. In certain cases, bondholders may receive additional promissory notes, or the original bond instrument may be amended to provide for repayment of the capital infusions."), professional fees to legally restructure the investments are frequently incurred by the bondholders.

Investment companies shall record dividend income on the ex-dividend date, not on the declaration, record, or payable date, because on the ex-dividend date the quoted market price of listed securities and other market-traded securities tends to be affected by the exclusion of the dividend declared. Also, investment companies shall record liabilities for dividends to shareholders on the ex-dividend or ex-distribution date because mutual fund shares are purchased and redeemed at prices equal to or based on net asset value. Investors purchasing shares between the declaration and ex-dividend dates are entitled to receive the dividend, whereas investors purchasing shares on or after the ex-dividend date are not entitled to the dividend.

Number of shares—principal amount of bonds and notes10 " "Value of each item at close of period 2,9,11,12,13" Percentage value compared to net assets 1 "Categorize the schedule by (a) the type of investment (such as common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, fixed income securities, government securities, options purchased, warrants, loan participations and assignments, commercial paper, bankers' acceptances, certificates of deposit, short-term securities, repurchase agreements, other investment companies, and so forth); and (b) the related industry, country or geographic region of the investment." 2 "The subtotals for each category of investments, subdivided both by type of investment and industry, country, or geographic region, shall be shown together with their percentage value compared to net assets." 3 "Indicate the interest rate or preferential dividend rate and maturity date, as applicable, for preferred stocks, convertible securities, fixed income securities, government securities, loan participations and assignments, commercial paper, bankers' acceptances, certificates of deposit, short-term securities, repurchase agreements, or other instruments with a stated rate of income.

For securities with payment in kind income, disclose the rate paid in kind." 4 "Except as provided in note 6, list separately the 50 largest issues and any other issue the value of which exceeded one percent of net asset value of the registrant as of the close of the period. For purposes of the list (including, in the case of short-term debt instruments, the first sentence of note 4), aggregate and treat as a single issue, respectively, (a) short-term debt instruments (i.e., debt instruments whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition are one year or less) of the same issuer (indicating the range of interest rates and maturity dates); and (b) fully collateralized repurchase agreements (indicate in a footnote the range of dates of the repurchase agreements, the total purchase price of the securities, the total amount to be received upon repurchase, the range of repurchase dates, and description of securities subject to the repurchase agreements). Restricted and unrestricted securities of the same issue should be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the issue is among the 50 largest issues, but should not be combined in the schedule. For purposes of determining whether the value of an issue exceeds one percent of net asset value, aggregate and treat as a single issue all securities of any one issuer, except that all fully collateralized repurchase agreements shall be aggregated and treated as a single issue. The U.S. Treasury and each agency, instrumentality, or corporation, including each government-sponsored entity, that issues U.S. government securities is a separate issuer." 5 "For options purchased, all information required by §210.12-13 for options contracts written should be shown. Options on underlying investments where the underlying investment would otherwise be presented in accordance with §§210.12-12, 12-13A, 12-13B, 12-13C, or 12-13D should include the description of the underlying investment as would be required by §§210.12-12, 12-13A, 12-13B, 12-13C, or 12-13D as part of the description of the option." 6 "If multiple securities of an issuer aggregate to greater than one percent of net asset value, list each issue of the issuer separately (including separate listing of restricted and unrestricted securities of the same issue) except that the following may be aggregated and listed as a single issue: (a) Fixed-income securities of the same issuer which are not among the 50 largest issues and whose value does not exceed one percent of net asset value of the registrant as of the close of the period (indicating the range of interest rates and maturity dates); and (b) U.S. government securities of a single agency, instrumentality, or corporation, which are not among the 50 largest issues and whose value does not exceed one percent of net asset value of the registrant as of the close of the period (indicating the range of interest rates and maturity dates). For each category identified pursuant to note 1, group all issues that are neither separately listed nor included in a group of securities that is listed in the aggregate as a single issue in a sub-category labeled “Other securities,” and provide the information for Columns C and D." 7 "Any securities that would be required to be listed separately or included in a group of securities that is listed in the aggregate as a single issue may be listed in one amount as “Miscellaneous securities,” provided the securities so listed are eligible to be, and are, categorized as “Miscellaneous securities” in the registrant's Schedule of Investments in Securities of Unaffiliated Issuers required under §210.12-12. However, if any security that is included in “Miscellaneous securities” would otherwise be required to be included in a group of securities that is listed in the aggregate as a single issue, the remaining securities of that group must nonetheless be listed as required by notes 4 and 5 even if the remaining securities alone would not otherwise be required to be listed in this manner (e.g., because the combined value of the security listed in “Miscellaneous securities” and the remaining securities of the same issuer exceeds one percent of net asset value, but the value of the remaining securities alone does not exceed one percent of net asset value)." 8 "If any securities are listed as “Miscellaneous securities” pursuant to note 6 or “Other securities” pursuant to note 5, briefly explain in a footnote what those terms represent." 9 Total Column C. The total of Column C should equal the total shown on the related balance sheet for investments in securities of unaffiliated issuers. 10 "Indicate by an appropriate symbol each issue of securities which is non-income producing. Evidences of indebtedness and preferred shares may be deemed to be income producing if, on the respective last interest payment date or date for the declaration of dividends prior to the date of the related balance sheet, there was only a partial payment of interest or a declaration of only a partial amount of the dividends payable; in such case, however, each such issue shall be indicated by an appropriate symbol referring to a note to the effect that, on the last interest or dividend date, only partial interest was paid or partial dividends declared. If, on such respective last interest or dividend date, no interest was paid or no cash or in kind dividends declared, the issue shall not be deemed to be income producing. Common shares shall not be deemed to be income producing unless, during the last year preceding the date of the related balance sheet, there was at least one dividend paid upon such common shares." 11 "Indicate by an appropriate symbol each issue of restricted securities.

The following is the text of CFRR 404.02, Accounting for Interest Collected on Defaulted Bonds.

-   ASR 36:
    
-   A question has been raised as to the treatment by an investment company of interest collected on defaulted bonds applicable to a period prior to the date on which such bonds and defaulted interest were acquired. In the particular case an investment company purchased, at a "flat" price of $260,000, $1,000,000 principal amount of bonds with attached defaulted interest coupons amounting to $250,000. The company subsequent to the purchase received an interest payment of $40,000 on account of defaulted interest coupons for periods to the purchase.
    
-   Where a purchase is made of defaulted bonds with defaulted interest coupons attached, it is clear that the purchase price covers not only the right to receive the principal of the bond itself, but also the right the receive any payments made on the defaulted interest coupons purchased. Under these circumstances, the price paid cannot be deemed to reflect only the cost of acquisition of the issuer's obligation to pay the principal sum, but must instead be considered to reflect as well the cost of acquisition of the issuer's existing obligation to pay the interest coupons already matured. In the usual case, moreover, there is no satisfactory basis on which to allocate the total price between the bond on the one hand and the defaulted interest coupons on the other. Under such circumstances, the bond and defaulted coupons should be treated as a unit for accounting purposes and collects on account of the defaulted interest coupons should be treated not as interest on the sum invested but rather as repayments thereof. Moreover, in view of the uncertainty of eventually receiving payments in excess of the purchase price, ordinarily no part of any payment, whether on account of principal or the defaulted interest, should be considered as profit until the full purchase price has been recovered.
    
-   In the instant case, therefore, the receipt of the $40,000 interest payments should be treated as a reduction of the cost of the investment and not as interest income, or as a profit on the investment. After payments are received on account of the principal and defaulted interest in an amount equal to the purchase price, any further collections thereon should be treated not as interest, but as profit on securities purchased. On the other hand, it seems clear that collection of interest coupons covering periods subsequent to the purchase may be treated as interest income unless the circumstances of a particular case are such as to indicate that, despite the apparent nature of the payment, recovery of the cost of the investment through sale or redemption is so uncertain as to make it necessary to treat the payment as a reduction of the investment.

The following is the text of CFRR 404.03.a. General.

-   ASR 118:
    
-   The statement of assets and liabilities of a registered investment company comprises, for the most part, not only investments in securities which are held by a custodian or are on hand, but also frequently includes securities as to which contracts to purchase have been entered into but which have not been received. Securities held by a custodian or on hand that have been contracted to be sold are excluded from the investments in such statement. In the ordinary transaction through a broker, recording the transaction on the date the broker advised the investment company that the securities have been purchased or sold (the "trade date"), rather than when delivery is made or due (the "settlement date"), is the established and acceptable practice in investment company accounting.
    
-   In the case of purchased or sales of securities other than in the usual brokerage transactions, the date on which the investment company obtains an enforceable right to demand the securities or the payment therefor the date the transaction should be recorded is sometimes difficult to determine. When a question arises as to the date an enforceable right is obtained by the investment company, an opinion of legal consent as to when the right occurred should normally be obtained by the company's management and made available to the independent accountant. Such an opinion should be in writing, and a copy should be included in the accountant's working papers.
    
-   Where the propriety or validity of an investment in a security by an investment company is questionable because of particular provisions or the Investment Company Act, or state law, or the company's investment policy or other representations as stated in its filings with the Commission, or legal obligations in respect of a contract or transaction, a written opinion of legal counsel should also be obtained by the company's management, made available to the independent accountant, and a copy included in the working papers. If the questions of propriety or validity are not satisfactorily resolved, the circumstances of the investment should be disclosed in the financial statements or notes thereto.
    
-   Securities held by the company or its custodian should be substantiated by the company's independent accountant in the course of an audit by inspection of such securities in custody pursuant to Section 17(f) of the Investment Company Act. When securities contracted to be purchased but not yet received are included in the statement of assets and liabilities, confirmation of the contract to purchase should be obtained from the bank, broker, or other person responsible for the delivery of such securities. Where satisfactory confirmation has been received, audit procedures normally need not be extended to obtain evidence of subsequent receipt of the securities by the company or its custodian unless additional substantiation is considered necessary by the independent accountant under the circumstances. Where satisfactory confirmation has not been received, subsequent receipt of such securities should be substantiated by other appropriate procedures.
    
-   In accordance with Section 30(e) of the Investment Company Act, the certificate of the company's independent accountant should include a brief statement concerning the substantiation of securities owned. Except for securities contracted to be purchased but not received, the certificate should state that the securities were either inspected by the independent accountant or, where the company's securities were maintained in custody pursuant to Section 17(f) of the Investment Company Act, were confirmed to him by the custodian. In the case of securities contracted to be purchased but not received by the company or its custodian, reference should be made to confirmation by banks, brokers, or others or to alternative procedures, as appropriate in the circumstances.

The following is the text of CFRR 404.03.b. Valuation of Securities.

-   i. Introduction
    
-   ASR 118:
    
-   Under Article 6 of Regulation S-X, the statement of assets and liabilities of open-end investment companies must reflect all assets at value, showing cost parenthetically, while closed-end companies may elect to use either this basis or to reflect all assets at cost, showing value parenthetically.
    
-   "Value" is defined in Section 2(a)(41) of the Investment Company Act. For purposed of determining the amounts at which securities and other assets are carried in the statements of assets and liabilities included in annual and other reports and in registration statements filed by investment companies, "value" is defined in pertinent part as: "(I) with respect to securities for which market quotations are readily available, the market value of such securities; and (ii) with respect to other securities and assets, fair value as determined in good faith by the board of directors...." This definition is also used in Rule 2a-4 under the Investment Company Act as the required basis for computing periodically the current net asset value of redeemable securities of investment companies for the purpose of pricing their shares.
    
-   In some circumstances value can be determined fairly in more than one way. Hence, the standards set forth below should be considered as guidelines, one or more of which may be appropriate in the circumstances of a particular case. These standards should be followed, and a company's stated valuation policies should be consistent with them. Any variation from the standards should be disclosed in the financial statements or notes thereto even though the variation is in accordance with the company's stated valuation policy. In addition, any deviation from a stated valuation policy, whether or not in conformity with the standard, should be disclosed in the financial statements or notes thereto.
    
-   ii. Securities Listed or Traded on a National Securities Exchange
    
-   ASR 118:
    
-   Ordinarily, little difficulty should be experienced in valuing securities listed or traded on one or more national securities exchanges, since quotations of completed transaction are published daily. If a security is traded on the valuation date, the last quoted sale price generally is used. In the case of securities listed on more than one national securities exchange the last quoted sale, up to the time of valuation, on the exchange on which the security is principally traded should be used or, if there were no sales on that exchange on the valuation date, the last quoted sale, up to the time of valuation, on the other exchanges should be used. With respect to the time of valuation, Rule 22c-1 under the Investment Company Act specifies the frequency with which current net asset value shall be computed.
    
-   If there was no sale on the valuation date but published closing bid and asked prices are available, the valuation in such circumstances should be within the range of these quoted prices. Some companies as a matter of general policy use the bid price, others use the mean of the bid and asked prices, and still others use a valuation within the range considered best to represent values in the circumstances; each of these policies is acceptable if consistently applied. Normally, it is not acceptable to use the asked price alone. Where, on the valuation date, only a bid price or an asked price is quoted or the spread between bid and asked prices is substantial, quotations for several days should be reviewed. If sales have been infrequent or there is a thin market in the security, further consideration should be given to whether "market quotations are readily available." If it is decided that they are not readily available, the alternative method of valuation prescribed by Section 2(a)(41) "fair value as determined in good faith by the board of directors" should be used.
    
-   iii. Over-the-Counter Securities
    
-   ASR 118:
    
-   Quotations are available from various sources for most unlisted securities traded regularly in the over-the-counter market. These sources include tabulations in the financial press, publications of the National Quotation Bureau and the "Blue List" of municipal bond offerings, several financial reporting services, and individual broker-dealers. These quotations generally are in the form of inter-dealer bid and asked prices. Because of the availability of multiple sources, a company frequently has a greater number of options open to it in valuing securities traded in the over-the-counter market than it does in valuing listed securities. A company may adopt a policy of using a mean of the bid prices, or of the bid and asked prices or of the prices of a representative selection of broker-dealers quoting on a particular security; or it may use a valuation within the range of bid and asked prices considered best to represent value in the circumstances. Any of these policies is acceptable if consistently applies. Normally, the use of asked prices alone is not acceptable.
    
-   Ordinarily, quotations for a security should be obtained from more than one broker-dealer, particularly if quotations are available only from broker-dealers not known to be established market-makers for that security, and quotations for several days should be reviewed. If the validity of the quotations appears to be questionable, or if the number of quotations is such as to indicate that there is a thin market in the security, further considerations should be given to whether "market quotations are readily available." If it is decided that they are not readily available, the security should be considered one required to be valued at "fair value as determined in good faith by the board of directors."
    
-   iv. Securities Value "in Good Faith"
    
-   ASR 118:
    
-   To comply with Section 2(a)(41) of the Investment Company Act and Rule 2a-4 under the Investment Company Act, it is incumbent upon the board of directors to satisfy themselves that all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which market quotations are not readily available have been considered and to determine the method of arriving at the fair value of each such security. To the extent considered necessary, the board may appoint persons to assist them in the determination of such value, and to make the actual calculations pursuant to the board's direction. The board must also, consistent with this responsibility, continuously review the appropriateness of the method used in valuing each issue of security in the company's portfolio. The directors must recognize their responsibilities in this matter and whenever technical assistance is requested from individuals who are not directors, the findings of such individuals must be carefully reviewed by the directors in order to satisfy themselves that the resulting valuations are fair.
    
-   No single standard for determining "fair value... in good faith" can be laid down, since fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current "fair value" of an issue of securities being valued by the board of directors would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accord with this principle may, for example, be based on a multiple of earnings, or a discount from market of a similar freely traded security, or yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods. Some of the general factors which the directors should consider in determining a valuation method for an individual issue of securities include: 1) the fundamental analytical data relating to the investment, 2) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the securities, and 3) an evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which these securities are purchased and sold. Among the more specific factors, which are to be considered are: type of security, financial statements, cost at date of purchase, size of holding, discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at time of purchase, special reports prepared by analysts, information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security, existence of merger proposals or tender offers affecting the security, price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable companies, and other relevant matters.
    
-   The above guidance does not purport to delineate all factors which may be considered. The directors should take into consideration all indications of value available to them in determining the "fair value" assigned to a particular security. The information so considered together with, to the extent practicable, judgment factors considered by the board of directors in reach its decisions should be documented in the minutes of the director's meetings and the supporting data retained for the inspection of the company's independent accountant.

The following is the text of CFRR 404.03.c. Auditing Security Valuations.

-   ASR 118:
    
-   In the case of securities for which market quotations are readily available, the independent accounts should independently verify all the quotations used by the company at the balance sheet date and satisfy himself that such quotations may properly be used under the standards stated above.
    
-   In the case of securities carried at "fair value" as determined by the board of directors in "good faith," the accountant does not function as an appraiser and is not expected to substitute his judgment for that of the company's directors; rather, he should review all information considered by the board or by analysts reporting to it, read relevant minutes of directors meetings, and ascertain the procedures followed by the directors. If the accountant is unable to express an unqualified opinion because of the uncertainty inherent in the valuations of the securities based on the directors' subjective judgment, he should nevertheless make appropriate mention in his certificate whether in the circumstances the procedures appear to be reasonable and the underlying documentation appropriate.
    
-   When considering values assigned to securities by the company, the independent accountant should consider any investment limitations or conditions on the acquisition or holding of such securities which may be imposed on the company by the Act, by its certificate or by-laws, by contract, or by its filings with the Commission. If such restrictions are met by a narrow margin, the independent accountant may need to exercise extra care in satisfying himself that the evidence indicates that the security valuation determinations were not biased to meet those restrictions.

The following is the text of CFRR 404.03.d. Investments in Affiliates or Affiliated Persons.

-   ASR 118.
    
-   Various rules of Regulation S-X require that the financial statements of an investment company state separately investments in, investment income from, gain or loss on sales of securities of, and management or other service fees payable to (a) controlled companies and (b) other "affiliates." As stated in Rule 6-02(d) of Regulation S-X, the term "affiliate" means and affiliated person as defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the Investment Company Act, and the term "control" has the meaning given in Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act in such a manner as to encompass such control relationships and also the direct or indirect ownership of five percent or more of the outstanding voting securities of any issuer. An affiliated person as there defined also includes any officer, director, partner, copartner, or employee or, with respect to an investment company, any investment adviser or member of an advisory board thereof.
    
-   In ascertaining the existence of any such affiliations, the independent accountant should consider the facts obtained during the course of an audit and also make inquiries of the company's management; and his working papers should include written representations from the management as evidence of such inquiries. The representations should be in the form of a statement that the company, except to the extent indicated, (i) does not own any securities either of persons who are directly affiliated, or, to the best information and belief of management, of person who are indirectly affiliated, (ii) has not received income from or realized gain or loss on sales of investments in or indebtedness of such persons, (iii) has not incurred expenses for management or other service fees payable to such persons, and (iv) has not otherwise engaged in transaction with such persons. Where there is a question as to the existence of an affiliation, a written opinion of legal counsel should be obtained b the company's management, made available to the independent accountant and a copy included in the working papers. Regulation S-X requires disclosure in the financial statements or notes thereto of details of such investments and transactions.

The following is the text of CFRR 404.04 "Restricted" Securities.

-   ASR 113:
    
-   Section 4(2) of the Securities Act exempts from the registration requirements of that Act "transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering." This is the so-called "private offering" provision in the Securities Act. The securities involved in transactions effected pursuant to this exemption are referred to as restricted securities because they cannot be resold to the public without prior registration. They are also sometimes referred to as "investment letter securities" because of the practice frequently followed by the seller in such a transaction, in order to substantiate the claim that the transaction does not involve a public offering, of requiring that the buyer furnish a so-called "investment letter" representing that the purchase is for investment and not for resale to the general public.
    
-   The private offering exemption of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act is available only where the offerees do not need the protections afforded by the registration procedure. As the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit stated in Katz v. Amos Treat & Co., CCH Fed'l. Sec. Law Rep. para. 92,409 (1969):
    
-   The Supreme Court has instructed that the applicability of the exemption should turn on whether the particular class of persons affected needs the protection of the Act. SEC V. Ralston Purina Co., 346 U.S. 119, 125 (1953).
    
-   The test of the availability of the Section 4(2) exemption is whether the offerees are in such a position with respect to the issuer as to have access to the kind of information that would be made available in a registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act. This test is no different when the offeree is an investment company.

The following is the text of CFRR 404.04.a. The Problem of Valuation.

-   ASR 113:
    
-   It is critically important that an investment company properly value its portfolio securities. It is obvious, for example, that any distortion in the valuation of a restricted security held by an investment company will distort the price at which the shares of the investment company are sold or redeemed. It is also clear that investment managers who are compensated on the basis of net asset value or performance my be unduly compensated if a restricted security, purchased at a discount from the market quotation for unrestricted securities of the same class, is over-valued. In such a case, investors may also be misled by the reported performance of the investment company.
    
-   The acquisition of restricted securities by both open-end and closed-end investment companies creates serious problems of valuation. Section 2(a)(41) of the Investment Company Act and Rule 2a-4 thereunder requires that in determining net asset value, "securities for which market quotations are readily available" must be valued at current market value while other securities and assets must be valued at "fair value as determined in good faith by the board of directors."
    
-   Readily available market quotations refer to reports of current public quotations for securities similar in all respects to the securities in question. No such current public quotations can exist in the case of restricted securities. For valuation purposes, therefore, restricted securities constitute securities for which market quotations are not readily available. Accordingly, their fair values must be determined in good faith by the board of directors and this obligation necessarily continues throughout the period these securities are retained in the company's portfolio.
    
-   Restricted securities should be included in the portfolio of a company and valued to determine current net asset value on the date that the investment company has an enforceable right to demand the securities from the seller.
    
-   Where the investment company negotiates the acquisition of the restricted securities directly with the owner of the securities, there are three significant dates. The first occurs when the investment company and the seller orally agree upon the price and the amount of the securities (the "handshake date"). At this point, there would not seem to be any enforceable right of the investment company to demand the securities from the seller since, in most states, particularly those which have adopted the Uniform Commercial Code, there is no enforceable right unless there exists some writing "sufficient to indicate that a contract has been made for sale of a stated quantity of described securities as a defined or stated price" (Section 8-319(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code). If the terms of the oral understanding do not contemplate compliance with any condition by the seller, it is suggested that the investment company procure, from the seller, a signed memorandum setting forth the price and quantity of securities to be sold. Upon receipt of that memorandum and enforceable right would be obtained. The securities should be valued as of that date.
    
-   In those situations where the oral understanding contemplates the execution of a formal contract of purchase and sale, no enforceable right exists until the time the formal contract is signed (the "contract date"). If the formal contract does not require compliance with any conditions by the seller, an enforceable right is then obtained, and the securities should be valued as of that date.
    
-   Where the formal contract requires compliance with stated conditions which the investment company believes should not be waived, no enforceable right is obtained until the stated conditions are satisfied. In that situation, the valuation date should be the date upon which the conditions are satisfied. (the "closing date").
    
-   Restricted securities are often purchased at a discount, frequently substantial, from the market price of outstanding unrestricted securities of the same class. This reflects the fact that securities which cannot be readily sold in the public market place are less valuable than securities which can be sold, and also the fact that, by the direct sale of restricted securities, sellers avoid the expense, time and public disclosure which registration entails.
    
-   As a general principle, the current fair value of restricted securities would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. This depends upon their inherent worth, without regard to the restrictive feature, adjusted for any diminution in value resulting from the restrictive feature. Consequently, the valuation of restricted securities at the market quotations for unrestricted securities of the same class would, except for most unusual situations, be improper. Further, the continued valuation of such securities at cost would be improper if, as a result of the operation of the issuer, change in general market conditions or otherwise, cost has ceased; to represent fair market value. In such circumstances, maintaining the value of the restricted securities at cost would mislead investors as the value of the portfolio of the investment company which holds restricted securities.
    
-   Instead of valuing restricted securities at cost or at the market value of unrestricted securities of the same class, some investment companies valued restricted securities held in the portfolio by applying either a constant percentage or an absolute dollar discount to the market quotation for unrestricted securities of the same class. The automatic valuation of restricted securities by such a method, however, would also not appear to satisfy the requirement of the Investment Company Act that each security, for which a market quotation is not readily available, be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the board of directors.
    
-   Thus, it would be improper in valuing restricted securities automatically to maintain the same percentage discount (from the market quotation for unrestricted securities of the same class) that was received when the restricted securities were purchased, without regard to other relevant factors such as, for example, the extent to which the inherent value of the securities may have changed.
    
-   Furthermore, the valuation of restricted securities by reference to the market price for unrestricted securities of the same class assumes that the market price for unrestricted securities of the same class is representative of the fair value of the securities. This may not be the case when the market for the unrestricted securities is very thin, i.e., only a limited volume of shares are available for trading. With a thin market, the news of the investment company's purchase of the restricted securities may, by itself, have the effect of stimulating a public demand for the unrestricted securities, the supply of which has not been increased, and thus lead to a spiralling increase in the valuation of both the restricted and unrestricted securities.
    
-   Moreover, if in valuing restricted securities, the diminution in value attributable to the restrictive feature is itself affected by factors subject to change, such as the length of time which must elapse before the investment company may require the issuers to cause the securities to be registered for public sale, the valuation should reflect any such changes.
    
-   Some companies value restricted securities, acquired at prices below the market quotations for unrestricted securities of the same class, by automatically amortizing the difference over some chosen period on the assumption that it will be possible to sell them at the market price for unrestricted securities at the expiration of the time period. Under prevailing conditions, however, it cannot always be determined either that the securities will, in fact, be effectively registered at the expiration of that period or that their public sale will otherwise be possible. For example, the issuer may be unable or unwilling to register at the expiration of the estimated period, and public sale at the end of that period without registration may not be lawful. Consequently, the practice of automatically amortizing the discount over an arbitrarily chosen period creates the appearance of an appreciation in the value of the securities which has not, in fact occurred, and, accordingly, is improper.
    
-   An undertaking by the issuer to register the securities within a specified time period would not dictate a different result. In view of the many factors that may alter the date of the proposed public offering, it is at best speculative to use such an undertaking alone as the basis for amortizing the discount.
    
-   In summary, there can be no automatic formula by which an investment company can value restricted securities in its portfolio to comply with Section 2(a)(41) and Rule 2a-4. It is the responsibility of the board of directors to determine the fair value of each issue of restricted securities in good faith; and the data and information considered and the analysis thereof should be retained for inspection by the company's independent auditors. While the board may, consistent with this responsibility, determine the method of valuing each issue of restricted security in the company's portfolio, it must continuously review the appropriateness of any method so determined. The actual calculations may be made by persons acting pursuant to the direction of the board.

The following is the text of CFRR 404.04.b. The Problem of Portfolio Management.

-   ASR 113:
    
-   In addition to valuation, restricted securities present special problems of portfolio management.
    
-   The concept of the Securities Act exemption of a private placement of securities is premised on the belief that in such a situation the investor has such information concerning the issuer that he is able to fend for himself without need for the disclosures that would be provided by an effective registration statement. Correlatively, where the investor is a registered investment company, it would seem to be the fiduciary duty of the persons responsible for the investment decisions of the investment company to obtain, prior to purchase, the necessary information to make an independent analysis of the investment merits of the particular restricted securities. Also, in order to enable the continuing valuation of such securities, the investment company should require the seller to undertake to provide, to the extent known to the seller, information on a continuing basis as to any subsequent private sales of the issuer's securities. The investment company should also assure itself that it is in the position to obtain the appropriate financial information at appropriate times. It is assumed that any public disclosures, such as that made in periodic reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act, are carefully considered by the investment company portfolio manager.
    
-   There is also the paradox of too much success to consider. For example, if restricted securities rapidly appreciate in value, perhaps because of an improvement in the business of the issuer, an investment company may find instead of having, for example, 5 percent of its assets invested in a particular company, it has instead, 25 percent of its assets in that company. The investment company to which this happens suffers a loss in diversification and may find that it has become overly sensitive to any adverse developments in the affairs of that particular portfolio company.
    
-   The foregoing factors in portfolio management relate to both open-end and closed-end management companies. There are additional special factors that relate only to open-end companies.
    
-   Section 2(a)(32), when read together with Section 5(a), of the Investment Company Act requires that the holders of redeemable shares issued by an open-end investment company be entitled to receive approximately their proportionate share of the issuer's current net assets, or the cash equivalent thereof, upon presentation of the security to the issuer or to a person designated by the issuer. Section 22(e) of the Investment Company Act provide that, absent specified unusual conditions, payment of the redemption price must be made within seven days after the tender of a redeemable security to an investment company or its agent designated for that purpose.
    
-   It is desirable that an open-end company retains maximum flexibility in the choice of portfolio securities which, on the basis of their relative investment merits, could best be sold where necessary to meet redemptions. To the extent that the portfolio consists of restricted securities, this flexibility is reduced.
    
-   Restricted securities may not be publicly sold-nor can they be distributed to redeeming shareholders as an in-kind redemption. While they may be sold privately, there may not be sufficient time to obtain the best price since the date of payment or satisfaction may not be postponed more than seven days after the tender of the company's redeemable securities for redemption. A private sale within that period may result in the investment company receiving less that its carrying value of the restricted securities. This would result in a preference in favor of the redeeming shareholders and a diminution of the net asset value per share of shareholders who have not redeemed. Therefore, instead of arranging a private sale of restricted securities, an open-end company that is faced with redemptions may decide to sell unrestricted securities which it would otherwise have retained on the basis of comparative investment merit.
    
-   Significant holdings of restricted securities not only magnify the valuation difficulties but may also present serious liquidity questions. Because open-end companies hold themselves out at all times as being prepared to meet redemptions within seven days, it is essential that such companies maintain a portfolio of investments that enable them to fulfill that obligation. This requires a high degree of liquidity in the assets of open-end companies because the extent of the redemption demands or other exigencies are not always predictable. The Commission is of the view that a prudent limit on any open-end company's acquisition of restricted securities, or other assets not having readily available market quotations, would be 10 percent. When as a result of either the increase in the value of some or all of the restricted securities held, or the diminution in the value of unrestricted securities in the portfolios, the restricted securities come to represent a larger percentage of the value of the company's net assets, the same valuation and liquidity questions occur. Accordingly, if the fair value of restricted holdings increases beyond 10 percent, it would be desirable for the open-end company to consider appropriate steps to protect maximum flexibility. The Commission will re-examine appropriate limitations in this area in light of all the policy objectives of the Investment Company Act.

The following is the text of CFRR 404.04.c. The Problem of Disclosure.

-   ASR 113:
    
-   Section 8(b)(1)(D) of the Investment Company Act requires that an investment company include, in its registration statement filed with the Commission under the Investment Company Act, information as to its policy with respect to "engaging in the business of underwriting securities issued by other persons." Item 5(b)(4) of Form N-1 and Item 7(b)(4) of Form N-2 require that a registrant under the Act describe its policy or proposed policy with respect to "the underwriting of securities of other issuers." In response to this item, registrant's policy with respect to the acquisition of restricted securities should be disclosed. In view of the fact that policies listed under these items are fundamental policies which cannot be changed without prior shareholder approval, the importance of adopting a clear policy with regard to such investments is apparent.
    
-   The prospectus of a registered investment company should also fully disclose the company's policy with respect to restricted securities. It is also clear that an investment company which has a policy of acquiring restricted securities is responsible for full and adequate disclosure with respect to all matters relating to the valuation of such securities. Specifically, there should be included, in a note to the financial statements, (1) identification of any restricted securities and the date of acquisition, (2) disclosure of the methods used in valuing such securities both at the date of acquisition and the date of the financial statements, (3) disclosure of the cost of such securities and the market quotation for unrestricted securities of the same class both on the day the purchase price was agreed to (the so-called "hand-shake date"), and on the day the investment company first obtained and enforceable right to acquire such securities, and (4) a statement as to whether the issuer or the registrant will bear costs, including those involved in registration under the Securities Act, in connection with the disposition of such securities.
    
-   Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder makes it unlawful, among other things, for any person, in connection with the purchase or sale of securities, to employ any device, scheme, or artifice to defraud or to make any untrue statement of a material fact or to omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made not misleading, or engage in any act, practice, or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon any persons.
    
-   The offering price of securities issued by a management investment company is premised upon the net asset value of such shares as determined pursuant to Section 2(a)(41) of the Investment Company Act and Rule 2a-4 thereunder and is so represented in its prospectus. The improper valuation of restricted securities held by such a company would distort the net asset value of the shares being offered or, in the case of an open-end company, redeemed, and would therefore constitute a fraud and deceit within the meaning of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5.
    
-   An open-end company, of course, represents to investors, in its prospectus, that it will, as required by Section 22(e) of the Investment Company Act, redeem its securities at approximate net asset value within seven days after tender. To the extent a material percentage of the assets of an open-end company consists of restricted securities which cannot publicly be sold without registration under the Securities Act, the ability of the company to comply with the provisions of the Investment Company Act relating to redemption, and to fulfill the implicit representations made in its prospectus with respect thereto, may be adversely affected. In any such situation, the investment company concerned and the persons responsible for the sale of its securities should give careful consideration to the possible application of the provisions of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.

The following is the text of CFRR 404.05.a., Introduction.

-   ASR 219:
    
-   The Commission issued an interpretation of a rule adopted under the Investment Company Act indicating, generally, that it shall be considered inappropriate under the provisions of the rule for "money market" funds and certain other open-end investment companies to determine the fair value of debt portfolio securities on an amortized cost basis, except in the case of securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less.
    
-   The Commission recognized that there had been considerable confusion and uncertainty as to the appropriate methods to be utilized by "money market" funds in valuing their portfolio securities. This interpretation should help remove the uncertainty and further the objectives of enabling investors in such funds to: (1) Purchase and redeem their shares at prices appropriately reflecting the current value of fund portfolio securities; (2) be properly credited for any unrealized appreciation or depreciation in such portfolio securities; and (3) be provided with meaningful and comparable information with which to appraise investment returns and the current earning ability of "money market" funds.

The following is the text of CFRR 404.05.b., Interpretation with Respect to Valuation of Debt Instruments by Money Market Funds and Certain Other Open-End Investment Companies. <sup class="ph sup">FN*</sup>

-   -   FN\* In Investment Company Release 12206, February 1982, the Commission published for public comment proposed Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which would permit, under certain conditions, the use of the amortized cost method of asset valuation for purposes of calculating current net asset value per share or the "penny-rounding" method of computing current price per share. If adopted, the rule would generally supplement rather than supercede this interpretive guidance.
        
-   ASR 219:
    
-   The Commission is aware that many investment companies, including some "money market" funds, value short-term debt instruments in their portfolios on an amortized cost basis. Under this method of valuation, investment companies initially value such instruments at their cost on the date of purchase and, if the instrument was purchased at a discount, thereafter assume a constant proportional increase in value until maturity. <sup class="ph sup">FN1</sup>
    
    -   FN1 In simplified terms, for instruments purchased at a discount, the difference between the cost of such an instrument at purchase and its maturity value is divided by the number of days to maturity and that amount is accrued daily as an increase in the value of the instrument each day. More precisely, amortized cost valuation may be described as cost, adjusted for amortization of premium, or for accretion of discount.
        
-   However, during the period a debt security is held, changes in the market rate of interest and other factors may affect the price at which that security could be sold. As a general principle, the longer the remaining maturity of an outstanding debt security, the more that price will be affected by such interest rate changes.
    
-   The Commission is concerned that the use of the amortized cost method in valuing portfolio securities of registered investment companies may result in overvaluation or undervaluation of the portfolios of such companies, relative to the value of the portfolios determined with reference to current market factors. In the case of registered open-end management investment companies ("mutual funds" or "funds"), this would mean investors purchasing or redeeming shares could pay or receive more or less than the actual value of their proportionate shares of the fund's current net assets. The effect of such sales or redemptions may therefore result in appropriate dilution of the assets and returns of existing shareholders. <sup class="ph sup">FN2</sup>
    
    -   FN2 For example, redemptions of shares in a fund which has overvalued its portfolio or sales of shares in a fund which has undervalued its portfolio could result in the dilution of the assets and returns of other investors in the fund. The extent of such dilutive effects would be dependent upon several factors, including the extent of the overvaluation or undervaluation, and the proportion of fund shares sold or redeemed at such times.
        
-   Although inappropriate valuation of securities could cause these effects in various types of funds, the position taken herein is addressed specifically to the case of: (1) "Money market" funds, and (2) other open-end investment companies that hold a significant amount of debt securities, such that the use of the amortized cost method in valuing any portion or type of these debt securities could have a material impact on such funds' net asset values per share. Generally, the Commission would consider the use of a particular valuation method to have a material impact if the use of that method, as opposed to another method, might cause a change of at least one cent in a net asset value per share of $10.00. <sup class="ph sup">FN3</sup> The interpretation explained below will be applicable to both "money market" funds and these other open-end investment companies.
    
    -   FN3 Although one cent differences in net asset values per share of $10.00 might appear to be insignificant, the effects of such differences can be material to the decisions of investors when translated into differences in rates of return. Moreover, the inequitable effects of amortized cost valuation can occur in the case of any opened investment company where a significant proportion of a company's portfolio consists of debt securities valued at amortized cost. The extent of such inequitable effects will, of course, depend upon changes in interest rates and the level of a company's sales and redemptions of shares.
        
-   Generally, "money market" funds are open-end investment companies which invest primarily in short-term debt instruments. They provide a vehicle to permit investors to take advantage of what at times may be the higher short-term interest rates earned on large investments. Through a pooling of money these funds enable the purchase of larger denomination instruments than could normally be bought by the individual small investor.. These funds have also attracted investments from corporations, bank trust departments, and other institutional investors. Another characteristic of money market funds is the short-term investment perspective of many shareholders. Although the portfolio composition of "money market" funds is variable both in terms of the types of securities purchased and their maturities, the portfolios of such funds typically include U.S. Government and government agency issues, certificates of deposit, banker's acceptances, and commercial paper.
    
-   Section 22(c) of the Investment Company Act by reference to section 22(a) of the Investment Company Act, authorizes the Commission to adopt rules prescribing, inter alia, methods for computing the minimum purchase price and maximum redemption price of redeemable securities issued by a registered investment company:
    
    -   \*\*\*for the purpose of eliminating or reducing so far as reasonably practicable any dilution of the value of other outstanding securities of such company or any other result of\*\*\* purchase, redemption, or sale which is unfair to holders of such other outstanding securities.\*\*\*
        
-   Section 2(a)(41) of the Investment Company Act defines "value", as here relevant to mean:
    
    -   (B)\*\*\* (i) with respect to securities for which market quotations are readily available, the market value of such securities; and
        
    -   (ii) with respect to other securities and assets, fair value as determined in good faith by the \[registered investment company's\] board of directors \*\*\*
        
-   Rule 2a-4 promulgated under the Investment Company Act provides, in part, that the "current net asset value" of a redeemable security issued by a registered investment company used in computing its price, for the purposes of distribution and redemption, means:
    
    -   \*\*\*an amount which reflects calculation\*\*\* made substantially in accordance with the following, with estimates used where necessary or appropriate:
        
    -   (1) Portfolio securities with respect to which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at current market value, and other securities\*\*\* shall be viewed at fair value as determined in good faith by the board of directors\*\*\*
        
-   Now that both the Commission and the money market fund industry have had the benefit of experience with this relatively new investment product, and to help insure that shares of such funds are sold and redeemed at prices reflecting the current market value or fair value of such funds' portfolio securities, the Commission has concluded that it is inconsistent with the provisions of Rule 2a-4 for a money market fund to determine the fair value of debt securities which mature at a date more that 60 days subsequent to the valuation date on an amortized cost basis.
    
-   Although debt securities with remaining maturities in excess of 60 days should not be valued at amortized cost, the Commission will not object if the board of directors of a money market fund, in good faith, determines that the fair value of debt securities originally purchased with remaining maturities of 60 days or less shall be their amortized cost value unless the particular circumstances dictate otherwise. <sup class="ph sup">FN4</sup> Nor will the Commission object if, under similar circumstances, the fair value of debt securities originally purchased with maturities in excess of 60 days, but which currently have maturities of 60 days or less, is determined by using amortized cost valuation for the 60 days prior to maturity, such amortization being based upon the market or fair value of the securities on the 61st day prior to maturity. <sup class="ph sup">FN5</sup>
    
    -   FN4 The fair value of securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may not always be accurately reflected through the use of amortized cost valuation, due to an impairment of the creditworthiness of an issuer, or other factors. In such situations, it would appear to be incumbent upon the directors of a fund to recognize such factors and take them into account in determining "fair value."
        
    -   FN5 A fund also may use amortized cost valuation for a period less than 60 days prior to maturity, in which case the principles indicated above would also be applicable.
        
-   The Commission believes that money market funds and those other companies to which this interpretation is applicable should value debt securities with greater than 60 days remaining to maturity based upon current market quotations if readily available or, if such quotations are not readily available, in such a manner as to take into account any unrealized appreciation or depreciation due to changes in interest rates and other factors which would influence the current fair values of such securities. <sup class="ph sup">FN6</sup> These methods are sometimes referred to as "marking to market." In determining "fair value" by reference to current interest rates and other factors, the board of directors of a money market fund may, of course, utilize whatever method it determines in good faith to be most appropriate. The method utilized could be based in part, for example, upon quotations by dealers or issuers for securities of similar type, quality and maturity.
    
    -   FN6 In ASR 118 \[see Section 404.03\], the Commission stated that: As a general principle, the current "fair value" of an issue of securities being valued by the board of directors would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. In that release, the Commission noted various factors that might be considered in arriving at "fair value", which factors included: Yield to maturity with respect to debt issues\*\*\* an evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which these securities are purchased and sold\*\*\* (and the) price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable companies, and other relevant matters.
        
-   Except in the circumstances delineated above, the Commission believes that, in view of the experience which has been gained with respect to the characteristics of money market funds, the use of the amortized cost method of valuation by a money market fund cannot in the future represent a "good faith" effort to determine the "fair value" of portfolio securities for purposes of Rule 2a-4; such valuation fails to consider the impact of market factors subsequent to the date a debt security is purchased on the value of such security. Moreover, the probability that amortized cost valuation will not approximate "fair value" is progressively greater for securities of increasingly longer maturities. The Commission believes that the use of amortized cost valuation by money market funds in valuing securities with remaining maturities in excess of 60 days is not an appropriate estimate of market value or "fair value" and further that, because alternative valuation procedures which consider market factors are available, use of amortized cost valuation under such circumstances as an estimate is not necessary. This standard should help insure that fund shares are sold and redeemed at prices reflecting the appropriate proportionate share of funds' current net assets, and minimize the potential for dilution of the assets and returns of existing shareholders.
    
-   The Commission is also of the view that money market fund shareholders should be accurately credited with the effects of any unrealized appreciation or depreciation that may occur when the value of a fund's portfolio fluctuates. If such effects are not reflected in either a fund's net asset value or its distributions to shareholders, as a practical matter the result would be a situation analogous to that which would exist if amortized cost valuation were used, and similar dilutive effects could occur. Such may be the case, for example, where a money market fund "marks to market," but declares a daily dividend of accrued interest income and reflects any remaining unrealized appreciation or depreciation in a "floating" net asset value of $1.00 nominal value per share, rounded to the nearest cent. Under these circumstances, unrealized capital changes which could materially affect the value of such fund's portfolio, would ordinarily not be of sufficient magnitude to cause the net asset value to change by one cent. The effects of unrealized appreciation and depreciation in the case of a fund with a "floating" $1.00 net asset value per share, would generally appear in the third and fourth decimal places, and when rounded to the third decimal place (i.e., tenths of one cent) would still not have a one cent impact on the net asset value. Moreover, if such a one cent change should occur, dilution may also result, since a relatively small change in net asset value would cause a larger change in the computed net asset value per share due to rounding. For example, if in the type of fund described above the net asset value was calculated accurately to three decimal places and a change in net asset value from $1.004 to $1.006 occurred, such change of $.002 would cause the net asset value, when rounded to the nearest cent, to change by one full cent.
    
-   To alleviate these results and insure that shareholders are more properly credited for capital appreciation or depreciation, the Commission believes that any money market fund which reflects capital changes in its net asset value per share should calculate, and utilize for purposes of sales and redemptions, a current net asset value per share with an accuracy of one-tenth of one percent (equivalent to the nearest one cent on a net asset value of $10.00). Any less precise calculation by such a fund might have the effect of masking the impact of changing values of portfolio securities and therefore might not "reflect" the funds calculations pertaining to its portfolio valuation as required by Rule 2a-4.

## ASC 320-958: Investments—Debt Securities — Not-for-Profit Entities

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "This Subtopic (codified as 958-320) governs how not-for-profit entities account for investments in debt securities and sets disclosure rules for most NFP investments. The core rule is simple and different from the business-entity model: all debt securities held by an NFP are carried at fair value in the statement of financial position, with no held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale classification. Purchased securities are initially measured at acquisition cost (excluding brokerage and other transaction fees); contributed securities and those received in agency transactions are initially measured at fair value.",
  "key_points": [
    "All investments in debt securities held by an NFP, including mortgage-backed securities, shall be measured at fair value in the statement of financial position (320-958-35-1; 320-958-15-2).",
    "Initial measurement is acquisition cost excluding brokerage and other transaction fees if purchased, and fair value if received as a contribution or through an agency transaction (320-958-30-1).",
    "A debt security acquired by contribution is recognized as an asset and as revenue or gain in the period received (320-958-25-1, citing 958-605-25-2).",
    "If the NFP holds the investment as an agent with little or no discretion over how income and gains and losses will be used, the acquisition and subsequent activity are reported as agency transactions—changes in assets and liabilities, not changes in net assets (320-958-25-3; 320-958-35-3).",
    "Scope excludes equity-method investments and consolidated subsidiaries (958-810-15-4), derivatives under Topic 815, short sales, and investments held by a financially interrelated entity (Subtopic 958-20) (320-958-15-4); an embedded derivative does not remove the host contract from scope (320-958-15-5).",
    "An entity does not look through the legal form of its investment to the investee's underlying securities—a limited partnership interest meeting the definition of an equity security stays an equity security even if the partnership holds mostly debt securities (320-958-15-6).",
    "Disclosures: aggregate carrying amount of investments by major type for each statement of financial position presented (320-958-50-2), and the nature and carrying amount of each investment or group representing a significant concentration of market risk for the most recent period (320-958-50-3)."
  ],
  "categories": [
    "Financial instruments",
    "Not-for-profit",
    "Subsequent measurement",
    "Disclosure"
  ],
  "audience_level": "intermediate",
  "student_note": "Exam trap: students carry over the 320-10 three-bucket model (trading/AFS/HTM) to NFPs—there is none; every debt security an NFP holds is at fair value, with return reported in the statement of activities per 958-220-45-22 through 45-30. The second common miss is the no-look-through rule in 320-958-15-6, which classifies a partnership interest by its own form, not by the investee's underlying assets.",

The guidance in this Subtopic does not apply to any of the following:

1.  a
    
    An investment in equity securities that is accounted for under the equity method in accordance with paragraph [958-810-15-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/810/958/#810-958-15-4) or in accordance with Subtopic 958-321.
    
2.  b
    
    An investment in a subsidiary that is consolidated in accordance with paragraph [958-810-15-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/810/958/#810-958-15-4) or
    
    [958-810-25-2 through 25-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/810/958/#810-958-25-2)
    
    .
    
3.  c
    
    An investment in a derivative instrument that is subject to the requirements of Topic 815. That is, an investment in an option on securities shall be accounted for under the requirements of Subtopic 815-10 if the option meets the definition of a derivative instrument, including the criteria for net settlement in paragraph [815-10-15-99](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/815/10/#815-10-15-99).
    
4.  d
    
    Short sales of securities (sales of securities that the seller does not own at the time of sale), because they are obligations to deliver securities, not investments. Short sale obligations are addressed in the guidance for certain industries (see paragraph [940-320-35-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/940/#320-940-35-1) with respect to broker-dealers and paragraph [942-405-35-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/405/942/#405-942-35-1) with respect to depository institutions). For guidance on evaluating whether a short sale transaction involves a derivative instrument, see paragraph [815-10-55-57](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/815/10/#815-10-55-57).
    
5.  e
    
    Investments held by a [financially interrelated entity](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#financially-interrelated-entities "A recipient entity and a specified beneficiary are financially interrelated entities if the relationship between them has both of the following characteristics: One of the entities has the ability to influence the operating and financial decisions of the other. One of the entities has an ongoing economic interest in the net assets of the other."). See Subtopic 958-20 for reporting interests in the [net assets](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#net-assets "The excess or deficiency of assets over liabilities of a not-for-profit entity, which is divided into two mutually exclusive classes according to the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. See Net Assets with Donor Restrictions and Net Assets without Donor Restrictions.") of a financially interrelated entity.

If an investment would otherwise be in the scope of this Subtopic and it has within it an embedded derivative that is subject to the requirements of Topic 815, the host contract (as described in paragraph [815-15-05-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/815/15/#815-15-05-1)) remains within the scope of this Subtopic.

When determining whether an instrument is within the scope of this Subtopic, an entity shall not look through the form of its investment to the nature of the securities held by an investee. For example, an entity invests in a limited partnership interest (or a venture capital entity) that meets the definition of an equity security. However, substantially all of the partnership's assets consist of investments in debt securities. In the specific situation described, the investment would be considered an equity security.

Information about realized and unrealized gains and losses and about historical costs of investments may be useful in some circumstances. For example, if a state adopted a law that allows an NFP to spend only realized gains or if an NFP pays taxes on realized gains and losses, information that distinguishes between realized and unrealized amounts may be useful. Thus, this Subtopic does not preclude disclosing that information.

The term _debt security_ includes any [security](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#security "A share, participation, or other interest in property or in an entity of the issuer or an obligation of the issuer that has all of the following characteristics: It is either represented by an instrument issued in bearer or registered form or, if not represented by an instrument, is registered in books maintained to record transfers by or on behalf of the issuer. It is of a type commonly dealt in on securities exchanges or markets or, when represented by an instrument, is commonly recognized in any area in which it is issued or dealt in as a medium for investment. It either is one of a class or series or by its terms is divisible into a class or series of shares, participations, interests, or obligations.") representing a creditor relationship with an entity.

    2.  2

(NFPs).
        
    
    However, if those receivables have been securitized, they would meet the definition of a security, and thus be a debt security. Paragraph [320-10-55-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-55-3) explains that, even if a loan could readily be converted into a security, the loan is not a debt security until it has been securitized.

This Example has the following assumptions:

1.  a
    
    Not-for-Profit Entity A (NFP A) invests cash in excess of daily requirements in short-term investments; during the year, those investments earned $1,275.
    
2.  b
    
    Most long-term investments of NFP A's endowments are held in an investment pool, which earned income of $11,270 and had net gains of $15,450.
    
3.  c
    
    Certain endowments are separately invested because of donors' requirements. The investments of those endowments earned income of $1,000 and increased in value by $1,500.
    
4.  d
    
    [Subparagraph superseded by Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-14](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/updates/asu-2016-14/).

The term does not include a Board-Designated Endowment Fund. See Endowment Fund.") ($4,500) because the entity spent the funds for the required purpose.
    
6.  f
    
    NFP A's governing board appropriated for expenditure $1,025 from its short-term investments.
    
7.  g
    
    NFP A had $25 of gross [programmatic investing](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#programmatic-investing "The activity of making loans or other investments that are directed at carrying out a not-for-profit entity's purpose for existence rather than investing in the general production of income or appreciation of an asset (for example, total return investing).

NFP A would add the following illustrative text to its note to financial statements that describes the measure of operations.

-   The board of trustees designates only a portion of NFP A's cumulative investment return for support of current operations; the remainder is retained to support operations of future years and to offset potential market declines. The amount computed and appropriated under the endowment spending policy of the investment pool and the amount appropriated from the investment return associated with the short-term investments are used to support current operations.

## ASC 320-965: Investments—Debt Securities — Plan Accounting—Health and Welfare Benefit Plans

### Machine-generated study aids

{
  "summary": "ASC 320-965 tells health and welfare benefit plans how to account for their investments in debt and equity securities. Such securities are reported at fair value less costs to sell (if significant) at the financial statement date, and purchases and sales are ordinarily recorded on a trade-date basis. Settlement-date accounting is permitted only if the fair value did not change significantly between trade date and financial statement date and the transactions do not significantly affect the composition of plan assets available for benefits.",
  "key_points": [
    "Plan investments in equity or debt securities are reported at fair value less costs to sell, if significant, as of the financial statement date (320-965-35-1).",
    "Accrual accounting requires purchases of securities to be recorded on a trade-date basis (320-965-25-1).",
    "Settlement-date accounting for purchases is acceptable when settlement follows the financial statement date only if fair value less costs to sell did not change significantly from trade date to statement date and the purchases do not significantly affect the composition of plan assets available for benefits (320-965-25-1(a)-(b)).",
    "The same trade-date rule and two-condition settlement-date exception apply to sales of securities (320-965-40-1).",
    "Net appreciation or depreciation in the fair value less costs to sell, if significant, of investments is ordinarily disclosed in the notes to the financial statements (320-965-50-1).",
    "Other investments of health and welfare benefit plans, particularly investment and insurance contracts, are addressed in Subtopic 965-325, not here (320-965-25-2).",
    "Scope follows Section 965-10-15, the Overall health and welfare benefit plan Subtopic (320-965-15-1)."

The accrual basis of accounting requires that purchases of securities be recorded on a trade-date basis. However, if the settlement date is later than the financial statement date, accounting on a settlement-date basis for such purchases is acceptable if both of the following conditions exist:

1.  a
    
    The [fair value](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#fair-value "The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.") less costs to sell, if significant, of the securities purchased just before the financial statement date does not change significantly from the trade date to the financial statement date.
    
2.  b
    
    The purchases do not significantly affect the composition of the plan's assets available for benefits.
