Interest rate hedge products are highly flexible and can be restructured to appropriately address an evolving capital structure, changing risk appetites, or to take advantage of attractive market conditions.

Our interest rate risk management specialists can assist you in identifying opportunities to restructure existing hedge programs that take advantage of the prevailing economic environment to potentially lower existing interest rates and achieve immediate interest expense savings.

Flexible hedge products that can be tailored to meet your specific risk profile and risk management objectives include:

• Interest rate swaps
• Caps
• Collars
• Floors
• Forward rate agreements
• Cancellable options

A forward starting hedge allows a company to take advantage of the current rate environment to secure future interest rate certainty, typically to:

• Address an anticipated refinancing due to the impending maturity of the underlying debt
• Address maturing hedges to mitigate the rollover risk associated with reverting back to a floating rate liability
• Hedge anticipated debt and secure funding costs today ahead of the closing of the obligation, which may be in a higher rate environment
