    The valuation methodology is based on the Monte Carlo spot LIBOR rate model. The model generates spot rates which log-normally distributed at each reset date. These spot rates are derived from corresponding forward rates whose stochastic behavior is constructed in an arbitrage-free manner. Outcomes for the spot rate are generated for each reset date. These rates are then applied to the ratchet-type payoff structure. The ratchet instrument is then valued by discounting and averaging these payoffs.
