    To explain something like this in a way that someone new can understand is really admirable.

    I watched a 2 hours lecture twice just to know and understand how swap works, but I got nothing. I watched this 15 minutes video only once and I got the whole idea. Very grateful

    I am studying for an exam right now, and this has come in really handy. I really could not understand the concept of interest rate swaps earlier from text books and you really explained it in such an easy manner. I am so stunned and genuinely happy that I now understand this concept. Thank you. Thank you so much for explaining it in such an easy to understand way🥰

    Good comment - yes the swaps market is, in many ways, one enormous example of arbitrage (exploiting pricing anomalies).

    A very good and clear explanation of an OTC swap. No long winded introductions simply concise and to the point.

  • @MoneyWeekVideos
    @MoneyWeekVideos  11 років тому +2

    Actually I might do a basic currency swap soon. Caps floors and collars are interesting too but require some background knowledge about options (a cap is just a string of options, as is a floor, with a collar being the two in combination). Thanks for the suggestions. Tim.

    Tommas099 - thanks for your comments. In fairness the example is designed to show a beginner the basic principles of a swap. All my numbers show is that a swaps bank can take advantage of the fact that different firms are able to borrow on different terms - my example is 100% theoretically sound but I accept the figures used are (quite deliberately) unrealistic in the I/R swaps market as I wanted to keep the basic principles as clear as possible. Tim.

    Sir, I just learned the the Interest Swap and taught it to 7 colleagues through class room training. Once again Thanks a lot.
    I have been assigned a new Project - Canara Bank Derivatives where the implementation is going on.
    Your understanding way and constructing the sentences wisely helped to understand the concept/functionality.

    Thanks man. This video really helped me understand the basics of swaps. It even helped more than an hour of reading.

  • @MoneyWeekVideos
    @MoneyWeekVideos  12 років тому

    matschbirne - that's right, the whole thing depends on the counter parties not defaulting. Of course a bank can separately protect itself using credit derivatives (see my video on what is a credit default swap for example) but these also carry counterparty default risk!! So one bank going bust can have a massive ripple effect as we have seen....

  • @MrSupernova111
    @MrSupernova111 7 років тому +2

    Extremely well explained! I kept asking where the original loans were coming from to better understand why the two companies need to enter into a swap agreement. You're video is the only I could find that answers my question. Thank you!

  • @tommaso99
    @tommaso99 13 років тому

    I came across this video while looking for a swap presentation to send to a lawyer friend to clue him in a little, whilst it is a very user friendly explanation, there are some fundamental and fairly crucial problems, particularly when you look at it from a practical stand point. Bare with me this may take a while!

  • @tramdhan111

  • @johnessien2167
    @johnessien2167 4 роки тому

    Why has no textbook ever thought to explain it this way? We spend hard-earned money buying books that intentionally obfuscate things and leave the reader more confused than they were before reading them.
    Thanks so much Tim Bennett for making this rocket science of a concept feel like ABC. I must confess for a moment there I was checking the comment section expecting to see people who understood swaps screaming about how wrong his explanation was because, by Jove, there's no way this concept could be this simple. From the comments so far, I can now fully accept Tim's explanatory genius. Again, thanks Tim.

    HI! Company A is paying Libor to Swaps Bank, and receiving 8% from them, and it's also paying 7% fix rate to Bank A. Thus, Company A net payment is: Libor - 8% +7% = Libor - 1%

  • @kunstkt
