INTEREST RATE SWAP
Agreement between two parties, called counterparties, where one flow of future interest payments is being swapped for another according to principal amount specification. Oftentimes, interest rate swaps exchange a fixed payment for a floating one which is connected to an interest rate. A company will normally utilize these either to restrain or manage exposure to interest rate fluctuations, or acquire a narrowly lower interest rate than it would have been obtained without the swap.
