International Swaps and derivatives Association, 2021 by International Swaps and derivatives Association, RFR derivatives using different approaches to compounding/averagingunder the 2006 ISDA Definitions1 IntroductionThis paper considers potential approaches to Documenting derivatives referencing an overnight risk free rate ( RFR ) using different compounding/ averaging approaches , including the convention used in the standard Overnight Index Swap ( OIS ) market. It is not intended to prescribe one approach to Documenting a compounded/averaged RFR but to set out how a compounded/averaged RFR may be documented under the 2006 ISDA Definitions using new Floating Rate Options for overnight RFRs2 in conjunction with new compounding/ averaging provisions that enable firms to more closely align with other RFR conventions that have been developed in cash terms used but not otherwise defined in this paper have the meaning given to them in the 2006 ISDA Definitions (as supplemented) (the Definitions ).
1 Compounding/Averaging conventions Each of the approaches below involves compounding the RFR in arrear3 (i.e. at the end of the Calculation Period) but allows the Floating Amount to be calculated and notified prior to the Floating Rate Payer Payment Date on which it becomes payable. The same concepts can also be adopted for simple averaging.
