DELAYED RATE SETTING SWAP

It is an exchange of cash flows wherein the one is based on a fixed interest rate and the other one is based on a floating interest rate. It will define the amount of time the investor has to lock the swap's fixed interest rate. A delayed rate setting swap is also called a "deferred rate setting swap" or "spread lock". This type of interest-rate swap might be desirable if the investor expects interest rates to change in its favor in the near future but likes the spread currently available.
