Discount Swap
|
A swap based on the coupon of a discount instrument(s) as the fixed rate payment. Rather than add a spread to the fixed rate payment, the parties may agree to a balloon payment by the fixed-rate payer at maturity, based on the size of the discount at the start date. Also called Non-Par Swap, Off-Market Coupon Swap. Compare with Low Coupon Swap.
