Structured & Embedded Derivatives Valuation
Structured and embedded derivatives add complexity to financial instruments by embedding contingent claims into otherwise “plain” assets or liabilities. Features like options, caps, floors, swaplets, callable/putable terms must be properly valued.
Synpact Consulting provides specialized Structured & Embedded Derivatives Valuation services to corporates, financial institutions, and investors — enabling accurate valuation, risk assessment, and reporting aligned with accounting and regulatory frameworks.
We help clients isolate and value derivative components, model payoff profiles, and integrate them within the broader instrument structure to deliver defensible, transparent valuations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is an embedded derivative?
A: It’s a derivative feature (e.g. option, cap, floor) embedded within a host contract like debt or lease that must be priced separately if criteria are met.
Q: How do you decide if bifurcation is required?
A: Based on accounting rules (e.g. IFRS 9 / ASC 815), if the embedded derivative’s risk is not closely related to the host, separation is required.
Q: What valuation models do you use?
A: We use Black‑Scholes, lattice, short‑rate models, interest rate models (Hull‑White, HJM), and Monte Carlo simulation as appropriate.
Q: How long does this valuation typically take?
A: It may take 7–14 business days depending on the feature complexity, input availability, and modeling depth.
Q: What deliverables are provided?
A: A full valuation report, model files, sensitivity and scenario analysis, supporting working papers, and an executive summary.
