d) Fair value transfers are examined and approved by the Fair Value Levels Committee, which brings together the Finance and Risk functions and the Business lines. To do this, the Fair Value Levels Committee relies on observability studies of valuation models and/or parameters that are carried out periodically. These fair value transfers are also presented to the valuation equity committee, which validated the following transfers during the fiscal year: to fair value level 3 OTC derivatives and issues due to a V methodological refinement in the observability of market parameters; from fair value level 1 to fair value level 2 a number of listed V derivatives due to a methodological refinementa number of listed derivatives;
Natixis’ policy on transfers between fair value levels
to fair value level 3 the loan trading activity due to the illiquidity of V the market; reductions that have been transferred to fair value level 2 in order V to harmonize the fair value of the reductions. As a reminder, the main reclassifications carried out at December 31, 2020 (see Note 7.5.1.) concerned: Bermudan accreters (in Australian dollars) with a residual maturity V of between 10 and 20 years, which were transferred to fair value level 2 due to the non-materiality of the accreting factor parameter (see table above) ; mono-underlying structured products indexed on equity which V were transferred to level 3 following the review of the observability horizon of the valuation inputs (volatility, repo, dividends) of the underlying assets.
