Notional Step Change Event
Definition
Notional Step Change Event. An event on which a step change in the notional amount of the swap stream occurs
Issues and Challenges
This always occurs on a calculation date (that is, one of the calculation period end dates). Therefore the frequency / period length of the steps in the step schedule is a multiple of the calculation period or frequency. For example, if the notional is recalculated on every calculation date, applying a new interest rate to the new notional amount, then the two frequencies are the same. If notional is updated every second calculation period, then the step schedule specifies periods that are twice as long, and so on.
