About This Template
Model stable value crediting rates with full formula transparency. This Excel template implements the industry-standard crediting rate formula used by wrap contract providers — CR = (1 + Yield) × (MV/BV)1/Duration − 1 − Wrap Fee — so you can see exactly how market-to-book dynamics affect participant returns.
What You Can Calculate
Enter five fund parameters and the template instantly computes:
- Net Crediting Rate — the rate credited to participant accounts, with a built-in 0% floor matching real contract terms
- MV/BV Ratio — the market-to-book percentage that drives crediting rate adjustments
- Gross Rate — the crediting rate before wrap fee deduction, showing the pure MV/BV impact
- Yield Impact — the basis-point cost (or benefit) of the current MV/BV gap versus a fully-at-book-value scenario
- Fund Health Status — a qualitative assessment from Excellent to Critical based on MV/BV thresholds
Required Inputs
You need five values to run the model:
- Book Value & Market Value (in $ millions) — available from your fund fact sheet or custodian report
- Portfolio Yield — the annualized yield-to-maturity, typically found in quarterly stable value reports
- Wrap Fee — the annual insurance fee, usually 0.10–0.25% for investment-grade portfolios
- Portfolio Duration — weighted average duration in years, typically 2–4 for stable value funds
Methodology
The template uses the standard crediting rate formula recognized across the stable value industry. The (MV/BV)1/Duration term amortizes any market-to-book gap over the portfolio duration, ensuring smooth, predictable participant returns while the underlying bonds fluctuate in value.
Assumptions & Limitations
- Constant portfolio yield and duration over the crediting period
- Crediting rate floored at 0% per standard contract terms
- Does not account for contract-specific reset provisions or equity wash restrictions
- Wrap fee deducted as an annual flat rate from the gross crediting rate
Frequently Asked Questions
Enter your current fund values, then adjust the Portfolio Yield input to see how rising or falling rates affect the crediting rate. You can create multiple scenarios by copying the Calculator sheet and testing different yield assumptions.
Yes. Duplicate the Calculator sheet tab for each fund (right-click the tab and select 'Move or Copy'). Rename each sheet to identify the fund, then enter each fund's specific book value, market value, and contract terms.
To model recovery, adjust the Market Value input incrementally toward Book Value and note how the crediting rate rises. You can also extend the model by adding columns for monthly projections using the same formula logic.
