A year-on-year inflation-indexed swap (YYIIS) is a standard derivative product over inflation rate.The underlying is a single consumer price index (CPI).. It is called a swap because each year there is a swap of a fixed amount against a floating amount, although in practice only a one way payment is made (fixed amount – floating amount).
An inflation swap is an agreement between two counterparties to swap fixed rate payments on a notional principal amount for floating rate payments linked to an inflation index, such as the consumer price index. [1] An inflation swap is the linear form of an inflation derivative, and used to transfer inflation risk from one counterparty to another.
The underlying asset is a single consumer price index (CPI). It is zero-coupon because there is only one cash flow at the maturity of the swap, without any intermediate coupon. It is called a swap because at maturity, one counterparty pays a fixed amount to the other in exchange for a floating amount (in this case linked to inflation). The ...
Real rate swaps are the nominal interest swap rate less the corresponding inflation swap. As for modelling, the trend has been either to provide: a model describing at the same time, nominal rates, real rates and inflation and representing the inflation as the exchange rate between nominal and real rates.
Daily inflation-indexed bonds (also known as inflation-linked bonds or colloquially as linkers) are bonds where the principal is indexed to inflation or deflation on a daily basis. They are thus designed to hedge the inflation risk of a bond. [1] The first known inflation-indexed bond was issued by the Massachusetts Bay Company in 1780. [2]
An interest rate swap's (IRS's) effective description is a derivative contract, agreed between two counterparties, which specifies the nature of an exchange of payments benchmarked against an interest rate index. The most common IRS is a fixed for floating swap, whereby one party will make payments to the other based on an initially agreed ...
An overnight indexed swap (OIS) is an interest rate swap (IRS) over some given term, e.g. 10Y, where the periodic fixed payments are tied to a given fixed rate while the periodic floating payments are tied to a floating rate calculated from a daily compounded overnight rate over the floating coupon period. Note that the OIS term is not ...
A deleveraged floating-rate note is one bearing a coupon that is the product of the index and a leverage factor, where the leverage factor is between zero and one. A deleveraged floater, which gives the investor decreased exposure to the underlying index, can be replicated by buying a pure FRN and entering into a swap to pay floating and ...
