Hedging by means of targeted product selection
Regardless of the type of financing, suitable products allow you to mitigate the negative consequences of rising interest rates or even eliminate them entirely. There are several options available to you:
- Combining different terms to maturity: Diversifying the interest rate fluctuation risk by staggering the due dates/terms to maturity.
- Forward contract: Entering into a financing arrangement with a fixed interest rate (e.g. fixed loan) before the cut-off date for payment. This can also be used for refinancing to hedge the interest rate risk in advance.
- Ordinary switch to a different product: If the type of contract (e.g. SARON Flex mortgage) allows it or once a fixed-interest period has expired.

With interest rate derivatives, you can hedge your financing arrangements against interest rate risks. This makes it easier to plan and protects your company against unfavorable interest rate trends. Interest rate derivatives are particularly suitable for larger companies or real estate companies since a certain minimum volume applies. There are various hedging instruments available, and their individual benefits and risks should be analyzed in detail based on the client's circumstances. One of the most common interest rate derivatives is swaps.
