Fair Value Hedge
• An entity with a fixed rate receivable may be concerned that fluctuations in interest rates will affect its fair value.
They might enter into an interest rate swap in which they will pay out interest at a fixed rate, to offset the interest received, and receive interest from the counter-party at a variable rate.
o As a result, they will always be paying the market rate of interest and changes in the fair value of the note will be offset by changes in the fair value of the derivative used as a hedge. o This would be considered a fair value hedge.
