Financial Calculation

In any structured financial product, bespoke derivative, or complex lending agreement, the integrity of the transaction rests on the accuracy and impartiality of its governing calculations. When these calculations are performed by an interested party, it creates an inherent conflict that can lead to costly disputes and erode trust between counterparties.

Our Role

We act as an independent and expert Financial Calculation agent for a wide array of complex financial instruments and agreements. Our role is to perform all required calculations with precision and objectivity, in strict accordance with the methodologies defined in the transaction documentation, providing a single, authoritative source of truth.

We determine all required calculations for structured notes and OTC derivatives, including interest amounts, settlement values, and payments due upon the occurrence of credit events, market disruptions, or other defined contingencies.

We act as the calculation engine for complex credit facilities, managing the determination of borrowing bases, compliance with financial covenants, and the calculation of principal, interest, and fees across multiple tranches and currencies.

We model and execute complex payment waterfalls for structured finance vehicles and private equity funds, ensuring proceeds are allocated to investors and managers with absolute precision according to the agreed priority of payments.

The Aether Advantage

The appointment of an independent calculation agent is a strategic decision to mitigate risk and ensure transactional integrity. We transform a complex mechanical function into a source of certainty and confidence for all parties.

Unconflicted Objectivity

As a truly independent third party, Aether has no financial interest in the outcome of the calculations we perform. Our determinations are based solely on the contractual terms and observable market data, executed in good faith to produce a commercially reasonable result. This provides all counterparties with absolute confidence in the impartiality of the process.

Dispute Mitigation

By appointing an independent agent from the outset, the likelihood of disputes arising is significantly reduced. Our transparent and defensible calculations provide a single, authoritative source of truth, preserving the commercial relationship between the counterparties and avoiding the complexity of formal dispute resolution procedures.
