2019 Nevada Revised Statutes
Chapter 682A - Investments
NRS 682A.265 - Calculation of counterparty exposure.

1. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the counterparty exposure amount is the net amount of credit risk attributable to an over-the-counter derivative instrument. The amount of credit risk equals:

(a) The market value of the over-the-counter derivative instrument if the liquidation of the derivative instrument would result in a final cash payment to the insurer; or

(b) Zero, if the liquidation of the derivative instrument would not result in a final cash payment to the insurer.

2. If over-the-counter derivative instruments are entered into in accordance with a written master agreement which provides for netting of payments owed by the respective parties, and the domiciliary jurisdiction of the counterparty is either within the United States or, if not within the United States, within a foreign jurisdiction listed in the Purposes and Procedures Manual of the SVO as eligible for netting, the net amount of credit risk is the greater of zero or the net sum of:

(a) The market value of the over-the-counter derivative instruments entered into in accordance with the agreement, the liquidation of which would result in a final cash payment to the insurer; and

(b) The market value of the over-the-counter derivative instruments entered into in accordance with the agreement, the liquidation of which would result in a cash payment by the insurer to the business entity.

3. For open transactions, market value must be determined at the end of the most recent quarter of the insurer’s fiscal year and must be reduced by the market value of acceptable collateral held by the insurer or placed in escrow by one or both parties.
