Overview

Several sources are combined to determine P&L reporting. Since this result is based on goods, the costs are related to the logistic movements as well as the instruments that are used for hedging (Futures and Forex).

Unrealized P&L reporting is similar to Position reporting, which shows the balance between long and short positions expressed as a quantity. Unrealized P&L focuses on the balance between the expected income and any associated expenses. The value of every asset is calculated based on the original budget divided by the actual currency of that asset. For example, for Forex assets, this will reflect both the buy and sell currency as traded with the bank. Other assets will be valued at market. When added up, the balance of that currency is converted to the reporting currency to express the total unrealized result over all currencies.
