Summary

Good evening dear FpML experts.

Currently working on the code of example 2.18 Example 10 - European Swaption, Physical Settlement, Relative Underlying Effective Date.

I need a little clarification regarding tag <dateRelativeTo href="europeanExercise0" /> which is nestled inside of <relevantUnderlyingDate> Swaption`s tag structure.

I have two assumptions regarding the meaning of this tag:

1) this is simply the reference to the unadjusted <expirationDate> (e.g. 2001-08-28)

2) this is adjusted <expirationDate> for 2 days  (e.g. 2001-08-28 (+2 days)).

Which of these assumptions is rigth?

Thank you in advance for your time.

Regards, Maksym

    XAPWG:

    Digging down into the annotation of the types, it looks like dateRelativeTo should reference an identifiable date.

    In the context of a Swaption, we don’t really need it at all as it is implicitly relative to the exercise date as per the annotation on EuropeanExercise/relevantUnderlyingDate:

    The date on the underlying set by the exercise of an option. What this date is depends on the option (e.g. in a swaption it is the swap effective date, in an extendible/cancelable provision it is the swap termination date).

    The example could be amended to remove the EuropeanExercise/relevantUnderlyingDate/relativeDates/dateRelativeTo
