GENERAL SWAP VALUATION 1. Obtain spot rates. 2. Treat fixed rate as fixed rate coupon minus any floating spread. Discount at spots to get present value. 3. Since floating is par when reset treat floating as if bond maturing at reset date and discount cash flows at appropriate spot get present value.

The two companies enter into two-year interest rate swap contract with the specified nominal value of $100,000. Company A offers Company B a fixed rate of 5% in exchange for receiving a floating rate of the LIBOR rate plus 1%. The current LIBOR rate at the beginning of the interest rate swap agreement is 4%.

Since floating is par when reset treat floating as if bond maturing at reset date and discount cash flows at appropriate spot get present value. The interest rate used to determine floating leg payments is reset periodically. The date at which the new rate is used is called the "Reset Date". As opposed to utilizing the 3m LIBOR rate (for example) as of the Reset Date, a swap could use the 3m LIBOR rate as of 2 London business days prior to the Reset Date. A reset rate is a new interest rate on the principal of a variable rate loan when there is a scheduled reset date. What is an interest rate swap? An interest rate swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange one stream of interest payments for another, over a set period of time. Swaps are derivative contracts and trade over-the-counter.

Financial Terms, Rate Fixing Date. Rate Fixing Date. The date on which the periodic payment terms and conditions of a swap agreement are established. In other words, the rare fixing date refers to the point in time when an underlying interest rate readjusts to account for changes in a designated reference interest rate (such as LIBOR). Interest rate swap (IRS) is a type of swap and hence belongs to the class of derivatives. Its price is derived by market interest rates. On each reset/fixing date, the floating rate for the The interest rate used to determine floating leg payments is reset periodically.

I am looking at the valuation of an Interest Rate Swap (IRS thereafter) which is pretty much vanilla with one small tweak. Floating leg pays 3 months LIBOR in monthly intervals. To be precise: floating leg resets every month, and the 3M LIBOR prevailing at the reset date is paid out at the end of the monthly interval. interest amounts accrue. The Effective Date of the Swap must be a business day subject to the Modified Following convention. Spot Starting (Fixed rate only): A Swap whose effective date is two business days from the trade date (using the combined LDN and NY holiday calendar); subject to modified rounding convention (see definition above). Consider an extendible accrual interest rate swap with a notional of 20,000,000 where the fixed and floating payments are made only upon the maturity of the swap. The fixed leg is annual at a rate of 4.5% and the floating leg is reset annually with an additional spread of -0.15%.

The most common type of interest rate swap is one in which Party A agrees to make payments to Party B based on a fixed interest rate, and Party B agrees to make payments to Party A based on a floating interest rate. The floating rate is tied to a reference rate (in almost all cases, the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR).
