Forward Rate Agreement – FRA

Forward Rate Agreement – FRA

A forward rate agreement is similar to a fx forward transaction. In an over-the-counter transaction, one of the parties borrows or lends a predetermined amount of money at a predetermined interest and maturity.

The party who borrows is in a long position, and the party who lends is in a short position. The transaction is essentially financially settled, where the difference between the interest agreed at the time of the transaction and the interest realised at maturity is recorded for the nominal value of the transaction (in a net manner).

Benefit

  • With this product, it is possible to determine the interest on a credit or a loan in advance.
  • We can fix the price of a short-term security that we want to buy or sell in the future.
  • If we take the FRA, the product can be used as a hedge against falling interest rates; while in the event of a selling, the FRA provides coverage against rising interest rates.

Risks

  • If not concluded by the client as a hedging asset, there is a risk of a change in the interest rate level.
  • In the event of an early closure, a loss may occur on the transaction if the interest rate on the underlying product changes in a direction unfavourable to the client.
