Interest rate swaps can feel complex, but the idea behind them is actually simple.

In this video, we explain how investors use swaps to manage interest rate risk without selling their bonds.

Instead of selling a fixed-rate bond and buying a floating-rate one, they keep the bond and adjust the cash flows using a swap.

Why? Because they may still like the bond for its credit quality, duration, or long-term return.

But they also want protection when interest rates change.

So they manage risk without changing the investment itself.

This is a key idea in CFA Fixed Income and often appears in exam questions in different forms.

The May 2026 CFA exam window is already moving, so it is a good time to strengthen your understanding of these concepts.
