CapCooler | Forward start amortizing IRS - Help appreciated |
Hello!
I would kindly appreciate any help on the following interest rate swap related
question.
The thing is about forward start amortizing swap.
The IRS contract has a notional of 100 MUSD that shall start in 24 months time
exchanging a 3 month LIBOR for a fixed 5 year SWAP rate. The loan to be hedged
is under disbursement and there is a grace period set. It is likely that the
grace period will end after 24 months so the beginning of loan capital
payments will match with the start of the SWAP contract. However, there is a
slight problem. As per loan contract, the grace period may end sooner than 24
months.
Linked to all that is my question.
Q: If the SWAP contract is entered now specifying the best estimate for the
start of capital payments would it create problems with the SWAP contract if
the grace period will in reality end couple of months earlier?
What do you guys say? If that is the case, is there a possibility to make
precisions to the to the start date of the contract at a later stage when it
will be precisely known?
If there is too little info, I will be happy to provide such.
Thank you very much in advance, any discussion is appreciated!
