CHAPTER 6
Use of Interest Rate Derivatives in Securitization Transactions
In this chapter, we explain the use of interest rate derivatives in securitization transactions for hedging and yield enhancement.

Because they are over-the-counter instruments, they expose the trust (the special-purpose vehicle (SPV)) to counterparty risk.
