Interest Rate Swaps Compression: A Progress Report
Interest Rate Swaps Compression: A Progress Report ISDA Study, February 2012 Summary This paper describes a risk reduction practice, portfolio compression (compression), which is conducted in the Interest rate swap (IRS) market. Compression enables swap dealers with substantial two-way (pay and receive) swap activity to terminate substantial amounts of swap contracts before they expire by their terms. The benefits of compression include reductions in counterparty credit exposure, operational risk and cost, as well as lower legal and administrative expenses in the event of a default of any participating dealer. Importantly, since contracts are actually eliminated, under some regimes capital costs can be reduced.
