Low Coupon Swap

An interest rate swap agreement with fixed rate payments below current market rates. The floating rate counterparty usually receives a front-end or back-end fee to compensate for the swap's positive net present value to the fixed rate payer. Low coupon swaps may be tax motivated. Also called Non-Par Swap. Compare with Discount Swap. See Off-Market Coupon Swap.
