Interest rates
Corporates can be exposed to interest rate risk in numerous ways, which impact both their assets and liabilities. Short-term (LIBOR) rates are often the basis for floating (bank) debt and short-term deposits, and change on a daily basis. As the basis for debt capital markets issuance, long-term rates may even change every second.

Interest rate risk management
Managing this risk is important for every corporate exposed to interest rate fluctuations that can affect the financial result of a company’s business. Therefore, for most corporates today, interest rate risk management is an integrated part of their overall risk management strategy.
One of the first steps in interest rate risk management is to analyse and quantify the exposure to interest rate risk. We can perform such analyses for your company based on several models, using client specific information (financing needs, existing loan portfolio, debt maturity calendar, etc.) combined with market data (interest rates, currency rates, level of volatility). Based on the outcome of this analysis, steps on how to best manage and reduce this risk are formulated.
