Introduction: The Constant Rate Market family deals with constant rate projections where the rate is not strictly speaking constant, but changes at regular time intervals (denoted by ØReviewMonthsØ) with respect to a forecast which runs in the background, so to speak.
- 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.
