Information about the ZB-Master tool
This Excel tool allows you to calculate present value factors, future value factors, zero-coupon rates, and forward rates based on a customizable yield curve. In addition, cash flows can be flexibly duplicated—either with or without taking bid-ask spreads into account.
A particular highlight is the ability to simulate targeted deferrals of income in the income statement (P&L).
Example scenarios:
- Generate high P&L losses in 2024 risk-free in favor of 2025.
-
Or: Recognize P&L income in 2024 and 2025 at the expense of 2026.
The tool thus offers practical and powerful support for areas such as treasury, risk management, and balance sheet analysis.
