DV01 Values

Instrument DV01 values are used to calculate hedge ratios for converting utilization of USBD Group “Actives” limits into 10 Yr Equivalent Notional Terms.

Hedge Ratio calculation: 10 Yr DV01 / Instrument DV01 = Instrument Hedge Ratio (rounded to 2 decimal places)

Example: 2 Yr Hedge Ratio
0.09004 / 0.01897 = 4.75

Credit Utilization calculation: Notional Amount Instrument * (1 / Hedge Ratio Instrument) = 10 Yr Equivalent Notional Amount

Example: Credit Utilization 2 Yr
$1,000,000 2 Yr * (1 / 4.75) = $210,526.31 10 Yr

*DV01 values are determined at the end of New York trading (rounded to 5 decimal places)
