  • Both the Grow and Mkt features are added to create ConGrowMkt. The addition of the Mkt feature means that after a certain date ¥FirstRevDate¥ the function reviews to a market value, rather than changing the initial rate as in ConGrow. Apart from this, they are similar to ConGrow.
  • The Fcst and Mkt features are added to create ConFcstMkt. This applies a constant rate, according to values specified in a forecast. The addition of the Mkt feature means that after a certain date ¥FirstRevDate¥ it reviews according to a forecast and has a variable called ¥ReviewMonths¥ which governs how often the rate changes.
