We can help your business: 

 
  • Mitigate risk from unexpected rate movements
  • Flexibility: Borrowers may choose to fix 75% of their debt and let 25% float with market interest rates. Alternatively, borrowers can lock in 50% today, and 50% a year from now.
  • Ability to Lock in Future Rate: The interest rate swap allows borrowers to lock in a future fixed rate
  • Prepayment: Interest rate products can be prepaid at any time at their economic value. This make-whole provision is bilateral, meaning the settlement can be positive or negative depending on the current market. Termination for interest rate products is generally favorable versus a fixed rate loan.
  • Certainty: The swap will reduce the Borrower’s cash flow variation caused by changes in interest rates and improve the accuracy of cash flow projections.
  • No Fees: Most products allow the Borrower to lock in rates without any cash outlay.
  • Easy to Modify: Since they are “stand-alone” contracts, swaps can be restructured or modified quickly and simply without disrupting any underlying borrowings. Restructuring or amending a traditional fixed rate loan often forces a refinancing or costly re-documentation.
