fvh_level

fvh_level is represented as an integer 1, 2 or 3.

1 (Level 1 inputs)

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used without adjustment to measure fair value whenever available.

2 (Level 2 inputs)

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:

1. quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.
2. quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
3. inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, for example:

• interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals;
• implied volatilities; and
• credit spreads.

3 (Level 3 inputs)

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. However, the fair value measurement objective remains the same, ie an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. Therefore, unobservable inputs shall reflect the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.
