About the product

Interest rate option Floor is a contract providing the option buyer with the right to demand the option seller (issuer) to perform the option and pay the amount of cash settlement of the interest period (floorlet), in case where in a given interest period the fixed Floor option execution rate is higher than the reference rate.

Benefits:

  • Purchase of the Floor option helps secure profitability of an investment while retaining an opportunity to take part in the increase of interest rates.
  • Option buyer has the opportunity to generate unlimited yield limiting the potential loss to the level of option premium paid.
  • Opportunity to individually fix transaction parameters and fix the option execution rate at any level.
  • Transaction valuation during the transaction term cannot be negative relative to prevailing market interest rates (spot and forward) i.e. early closure of transaction does not generate Client's liability due to the Bank.

Risk:

  • Purchase of option is linked with the duty to pay option premium, which – conditional upon option parameters – may become a significant cost for the buyer.
  • In effect of change of market conditions (e.g. decline of spot and forward interest rates), in case of early transaction closure, the amount of option premium received may be significantly lower than option premium paid on the transaction conclusion date.
