Lowest Intermediate Balance Test

The lowest intermediate balance test identifies proceeds out of commingled funds. It comprises three assumptions:

• Funds withdrawn from a commingled account will first deplete nonproceeds.
• Proceeds are deemed to be withdrawn only if no nonproceeds remain in the account.
• Subsequent deposits of nonproceeds do not replenish proceeds.

I.e., the proceeds remaining in a commingled account are the lowest the account got after getting those proceeds.
