Based on SOFR (Secured Over Night Financing Rate) as calculated by the New York Federal Reserve Bank each business day, the EDSP Rate represents the effective rate of interest achieved by reinvesting at SOFR for each day of the accrual period of the contract. The following formula shall be applied:
where:
S_i = SOFR rate on the i^th day of the accrual period
d_i = the number of days that the value S_i is applied
x = the number of SOFR fixings used in the accrual period
N = the total number of days for which the x fixings are applied, i.e. the number of calendar days in the accrual period
In respect of final settlement, the EDSP Rate will be an interest rate expressed in percent, based on the monthly average SOFR rate for the delivery month. Where the EDSP Rate is not an exact multiple of 0.00001, it will be rounded to the nearest 0.00001 or, where the EDSP Rate is greater than or equal to 0.000005, it will be rounded up to the nearest 0.00001.

- Statement Regarding EDSP
- The contracts have a standardized basis point value so that, for hedging purposes, a calculation will need to be made in relation to the hedge ratio to take into account any mismatch between the standardized basis point value and the actual basis point value of the position being hedged, determined by the actual number of days in the accrual period.
