The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging derivative — or the foreign currency transaction gain or loss on a nonderivative hedging instrument such as foreign-currency debt — is reported the same way as a translation adjustment, i.e., in the cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) section of other comprehensive income (815-35-35-1). An entity elects either the spot method or the forward method to assess effectiveness and must apply that choice consistently to all derivative net investment hedges (815-35-35-4).", "key_points": [ "Gains and losses on an effective net investment hedge (derivative or nonderivative) are reported like a translation adjustment in the CTA section of OCI, and the hedged net investment itself is accounted for under Topic 830, not under the fair value hedge rules of 815-25 (815-35-35-1 through 35-2).", "An entity may assess effectiveness using either the spot-rate method (815-35-35-5 through 35-15) or the forward-rate method (815-35-35-17 through 35-26), but must use the same method for all net investment hedges using derivatives (815-35-35-4).", "Under the spot method, the forward-spot difference is excluded from the effectiveness assessment if the notional matches the hedged portion, the underlying is the exchange rate between the hedged operation's functional currency and the investor's functional currency, and any cross-currency interest rate swap qualifies under 815-20-25-67; the hedge is then perfectly effective with no quantitative inception assessment (815-35-35-5).", "The initial value of an excluded component is recognized in earnings by a systematic and rational method over the life of the instrument, with the difference from actual fair value change reported in CTA within OCI; alternatively an entity may elect to record all excluded-component fair value changes currently in earnings (815-35-35-5A through 35-5B).", "Under the forward method, all changes in the derivative's fair value — including option time value and the interest accrual/periodic cash settlement components of qualifying cross-currency interest rate swaps — go to CTA in OCI (815-35-35-17); under the spot method those interest accrual components go directly to earnings (815-35-35-6).", "When notional amounts, currencies, or swap legs do not match (815-35-35-9, 35-13, 35-18), effectiveness is assessed by comparing the actual instrument's fair value change with that of a hypothetical derivative or nonderivative instrument that eliminates the mismatch and matches the actual instrument's maturity and repricing/payment frequencies (815-35-35-10, 35-11, 35-14, 35-19 through 35-21).", "On discontinuation, amounts not yet recognized in earnings under 815-35-35-5A remain in CTA within AOCI until the hedged net investment is sold or liquidated under 830-30-40-1 through 40-1A (815-35-40-1)." ], "categories": [ "Derivatives and hedging", "Foreign currency", "Subsequent measurement", "Financial instruments" ], "audience_level": "advanced", "student_note": "Net investment hedges are the one hedge type where a nonderivative (e.g., foreign-currency-denominated debt) can be the hedging instrument and where effective gains/losses sit in CTA rather than a separate AOCI bucket.

If a derivative instrument is used as the hedging instrument, an entity may assess the effectiveness of a net investment hedge using either a method based on changes in spot exchange rates (as specified in paragraphs [815-35-35-5 through 35-15](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/815/35/#815-35-35-5) ) or a method based on changes in forward exchange rates (as specified in paragraphs [815-35-35-17 through 35-26](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/815/35/#815-35-35-17) ). This guidance can also be applied to purchased options used as hedging instruments in a net investment hedge. However, an entity shall consistently use the same method for all its net investment hedges in which the hedging instrument is a derivative instrument; use of the spot method for some net investment hedges and the forward method for other net investment hedges is not permitted.

The change in 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.") of the derivative instrument attributable to changes in the difference between the forward rate and [spot rate](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#spot-rate "The exchange rate for immediate delivery of currencies exchanged.") would be excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness if all of the following conditions are met: 1. a The [notional amount](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#notional-amount "A number of currency units, shares, bushels, pounds, or other units specified in a derivative instrument. Sometimes other names are used.

The assessment of hedge effectiveness due to such differences between the hedging derivative instrument and the hedged net investment considers the following: 1. a Different notional amounts. If the notional amount of the derivative instrument designated as a hedge of the net investment does not match the portion of the net investment designated as being hedged, hedge effectiveness shall be assessed by comparing the following two values: 1. 1 The change in fair value of the actual derivative instrument designated as the hedging instrument 2. 2 The change in fair value of a hypothetical derivative instrument that has a notional amount that matches the portion of the net investment being hedged and a maturity that matches the maturity of the actual derivative instrument designated as the net investment hedge. See paragraph [815-35-35-26](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/815/35/#815-35-35-26) for situations in which the hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation is hedging foreign currency risk on an after-tax basis, as permitted by paragraph [815-20-25-3(b)(2)(vi)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/815/20/#815-20-25-3). 2. b Different currencies. If the derivative instrument designated as the hedging instrument has an underlying foreign exchange rate that is not the exchange rate between the functional currency of the hedged net investment and the investor's functional currency (a tandem currency hedge), hedge effectiveness shall be assessed by comparing the following two values: 1. 1 The change in fair value of the actual cross-currency hedging instrument 2. 2 The change in fair value of a hypothetical derivative instrument that has as its underlying the foreign exchange rate between the functional currency of the hedged net investment and the investor's functional currency and a maturity and repricing and payment frequencies for any interim payments that match the maturity and repricing and payment frequencies for any interim payments of the actual derivative instrument designated as the net investment hedge. 3. c Multiple underlyings. In accordance with paragraph [815-20-25-67(a)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/815/20/#815-20-25-67), the only derivative instruments with multiple underlyings permitted to be designated as a hedge of a net investment are receive-variable-rate, pay-variable-rate cross-currency interest rate swaps that meet certain criteria.

Paragraph [815-20-25-3(b)(2)(vi)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/815/20/#815-20-25-3) permits hedging foreign currency risk on an after-tax basis, provided that the documentation of the hedge at its inception indicated that the assessment of effectiveness and measurement of hedge results will be on an after-tax basis (rather than on a pretax basis). If an entity has elected to hedge foreign currency risk on an after-tax basis, it shall adjust the notional amount of its derivative instrument appropriately to reflect the effect of tax rates. In that case, the hypothetical derivative instrument used to assess effectiveness shall have a notional amount that has been appropriately adjusted (pursuant to the documentation at inception) to reflect the effect of the after-tax approach. #### Redesignation ##### [815-35-35-27](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/815/35/#815-35-35-27) Pending content: no Source downloaded (UTC): 2026-09-10T01:38:32.426Z to 2026-09-10T01:38:32.426Z Record version: sha256:513922e890d944c3c518fb6e11da925fb090b3b23637987004b6deffac0c22a6 Snapshot version: sha256:15aea8165dff9f5ae47d9484f8470588b13b307f56e1d50801bf4d85ec190e3f Effective as of: not established by retrieval timestamps. If an entity documents that the effectiveness of its hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation will be assessed based on the beginning balance of its net investment and the entity's net investment changes during the year, the entity shall consider the need to redesignate the hedging relationship (to indicate what the hedging instrument is and what numerical portion of the current net investment is the hedged portion) whenever financial statements or earnings are reported, and at least every three months. An entity is not required to redesignate the hedging relationship more frequently even when a significant transaction (for example, a dividend) occurs during the interim period.

This Example illustrates the application of paragraph [815-35-35-27](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/815/35/#815-35-35-27). Assume that an entity enters into a foreign currency forward contract that has a [notional amount](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#notional-amount "A number of currency units, shares, bushels, pounds, or other units specified in a derivative instrument. Sometimes other names are used. For example, the notional amount is called a face amount in some contracts.") equal to the beginning balance of its investment in a foreign operation (for example, 100,000 foreign currency units \[FC\]). This foreign currency forward contract is immediately designated as a hedge of the entire beginning balance of the net investment at the inception of the hedge. As the net investment changes, the entity would periodically assess the original hedging relationship and decide whether it needs to remove (that is, dedesignate) that original relationship and designate a new hedging relationship for the following assessment period. The following presents one method of such redesignation in those circumstances in which the entity chooses not to obtain a new [derivative instrument](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/d/#derivative-instrument "Paragraphs 815-10-15-83815-10-15-84815-10-15-85815-10-15-86815-10-15-87815-10-15-88815-10-15-89815-10-15-90815-10-15-91815-10-15-92815-10-15-93815-10-15-94815-10-15-95815-10-15-96815-10-15-97815-10-15-98815-10-15-99815-10-15-100815-10-15-101815-10-15-102815-10-15-103815-10-15-104815-10-15-105815-10-15-106815-10-15-107815-10-15-108815-10-15-109815-10-15-110815-10-15-111815-10-15-112815-10-15-113815-10-15-114815-10-15-115815-10-15-116815-10-15-117815-10-15-118815-10-15-119815-10-15-120815-10-15-121815-10-15-122815-10-15-123815-10-15-124815-10-15-125815-10-15-126815-10-15-127815-10-15-128815-10-15-129815-10-15-130815-10-15-131815-10-15-132815-10-15-133815-10-15-134815-10-15-135815-10-15-136815-10-15-137815-10-15-138815-10-15-139 define the term derivative instrument."): 1. a If the net investment had increased (for example, to FC 120,000), the entire forward contract would be designated prospectively as hedging only a portion of the beginning balance of the net investment in that foreign operation. The hedged portion would be the ratio of the net investment at the inception of the hedge to the net investment at the beginning of the new assessment period (for example, five-sixths of the FC 120,000). 2. b If the net investment had decreased (for example, to FC 90,000), only a proportion of the forward contract would be designated prospectively as hedging the entire beginning balance of the net investment in that foreign operation. The proportion of the forward contract designated prospectively as the hedging instrument would be the ratio of the net investment at the beginning of the new assessment period to the net investment at the inception of the hedge (for example, nine-tenths of the forward contract).
