Definition

Fixed Interest Rate Leg. A swap stream that specifies fixed interest amounts and terms for the payment of that interest

Synonyms

• Fixed Interest Rate Swap Stream

Issues and Challenges

This may be the funding leg of some swaps (i.e. one party agrees to pay fixed interest amounts in exchange for whatever is the other leg) or it may be one or both sides of an Interest Rate Swap, where the two parties exchange different interest streams. Note that the FpML term on which this Swapstream term was based, is the one for asset return swaps, where this is the payment leg. This is the leg which has interest amounts, interest calculations and calculation dates, and optional stub calculation terms. It should be possible to relate this to the specific interest payments of an underlier if there is one.
