| 1. ''Hedging''. | | 1. ''UK tax - capital gains.'' |
|
| |
|
| Basis risk includes the risk of an unfavourable change in the relationship between the price of a derivative and the market value of an underlying asset or liability being hedged.
| | Alternative name for Business Asset Rollover Relief. |
|
| |
|
| For example resulting in a smaller profit being enjoyed on a hedging derivative, than the loss suffered on the underlying exposure.
| |
|
| |
|
| Good hedge design therefore seeks to eliminate or minimise basis risk in the hedged position, so far as practicable.
| | 2. ''Tax.'' |
|
| |
|
| | | More broadly, any tax relief that defers tax on gains on disposals, when disposal proceeds are reinvested into other qualifying assets. |
| 2. ''Funding''.
| |
| | |
| Basis risk also arises in bank funding.
| |
| | |
| It arises when the reference rates used for the pricing of assets and their funding are different.
| |
| | |
| | |
| For example, a UK bank's mortgage assets might be priced by reference to BBR (the Bank of England's Official Bank Rate) plus a margin, while the bank's funding is priced at SONIA (plus a margin).
| |
| | |
| The bank's net interest income depends on the differential between BBR and SONIA.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Basis risk - in this context - means the risk of adverse changes in the differential between BBR and SONIA. An adverse change might compress the bank's net interest income, or even result in losses.
