# Caps/Floors

## CNS Treasury’s Caps and Floors functionality manages interest rate risk within set limits, offering protection through upper and lower rate thresholds. Real-time tracking and automated reporting simplify interest rate risk management.

### Caps and Floors

CNS Treasury’s **Caps and Floors** functionality offers treasury teams a strategic way to manage interest rate risk within defined limits. **Interest Rate Caps** set an upper limit on floating interest rates, providing protection if rates rise above a predetermined level, while **Interest Rate Floors** establish a lower limit, ensuring a minimum return on interest-bearing assets. These instruments are particularly useful for companies with variable-rate debt or investments, allowing them to hedge against adverse movements while benefitting from favourable market conditions.

#### Key Features and Benefits

With CNS Treasury, users can manage the full lifecycle of caps and floors, from setting up contracts to tracking and reporting. The platform automatically monitors rate thresholds, payment schedules, and expiration dates, ensuring real-time visibility into positions and risk exposures. Additionally, CNS Treasury provides integrated reporting and analysis tools, enabling treasury teams to assess the impact of caps and floors on cash flow and overall risk management strategy.

#### Compliance and Hedge Accounting

CNS Treasury also supports hedge accounting for caps and floors, ensuring compliance with **IFRS9** standards. The platform supports journal entries, effectiveness testing, and regulatory reporting, simplifying the accounting process and maintaining transparency. By integrating caps and floors into the broader risk management framework, CNS Treasury enables treasury teams to protect against interest rate volatility confidently and accurately.

CNS Treasury’s **Caps and Floors** functionality provides flexible, automated tools for managing interest rate risk within set limits, offering real-time tracking, compliance support, and clear reporting.
