Derivatives

Derivatives, including futures contracts, options and swaps, are synthetic financial instruments that can help you better manage financial risk associated with debt, as well as foreign currency receivables, payments and other financial arrangements.

Your business is subject to risk such as adverse market movements and exchange rates.

• Protect against adverse movements in market interest rates by using a floating rate term loan to purchase a derivative that converts the floating rate into a fixed rate or caps the maximum floating rate
  
• Protect against adverse movements in exchange rates by using derivatives to notionally convert liabilities in one currency into another currency
