Interest Rate Risk

Borrowers typically struggle with several key factors when trying to determine their optimal financing portfolio. In periods in which interest rates are historically low and the yield curve is relatively flat borrowers should look to increase the percentage of fixed rate debt in their portfolio and extend term. Conversely, when rates are historically high and the yield curve is inordinately steep borrowers should look to increase the percentage of floating rate debt in their portfolio and reduce term. The Treasury Services Group at ICICI Bank Canada works closely with borrowers to assist them in building the right debt portfolio for their own unique risk tolerance.

In order for you to actively manage your interest rate risk ICICI Bank Canada offers the following products:

• Forward Rate Agreements
• Interest Rate Swaps
