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.
