# fCash Valuation Curve

### Valuing fCash

The present value of fCash can be determined by discounting the face value of that fCash to the present via the oracle rate which corresponds to the fCash asset's maturity.

$$
cashAmount = fCashAmount/e^{interestRate\*timeToMaturity}
$$

The active set of rate oracles for a given currency provide explicit interest rates with which to value fCash assets at the corresponding maturity set.&#x20;

### Valuing Idiosyncratic fCash

Determining the present value of an fCash asset requires an interest rate to the fCash asset's maturity. But by definition, idiosyncratic fCash assets do not correspond to a maturity within the rate oracle set, so interest rates for idiosyncratic fCash assets are not immediately available. We solve this problem by drawing a fCash valuation curve that is linearly interpolated from our available rate oracles and then picking interest rates from that curve at any idiosyncratic maturity.

The interest rates derived from the fCash valuation curve then enable us to determine the present value of any idiosyncratic fCash asset by the formula detailed above.

### Rolling the fCash Valuation Curve

Upon the quarterly roll, the maturities of the interest rate oracles update to match the new set of active maturities. The new interest rate oracle values are updated to match the rates defined by the old interest rate curve at the new active maturities.&#x20;

Rolling the curve in this way ensures consistency. The new interest rate oracle values are implied from the old curve, and interest rates associated with the old active maturity set remain constant.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.notional.finance/governance/fcash-valuation/fcash-valuation-curve.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
