Real Estate Developer Utilizes an Interest Rate Cap to Create a Synthetic Swap

A residential real estate developer had a floating-rate bank loan with an embedded interest rate index floor – a common requirement from banks. After thorough analysis, AEGIS advised the company to purchase an interest rate cap at the same rate as the loan's floor, creating a "synthetic swap". This swap protects the company’s floating interest expense while working in conjunction with the pre-existing loan floor.
