What Is a Swap?

 

Learn what a swap is and why you don't need to be afraid of them.

Some people consider swaps to be scary or complex and are even considered exotic. While those terms aren’t incorrect or unjustified for some, it usually comes down to the apprehension of swaps are based on a lack of knowledge about them. To simplify it, a swap is a bilateral agreement negotiated between a user and a swap dealer. It can be formed into whatever the user needs it to be so in some situations a swap could be complex or exotic. This white paper offers some insight into what a swap is and explains why swaps shouldn’t be feared, simply understood.
