Swap Exposure with the Benefits of a Futures Contract

CME Group continues to offer risk management solutions that help investors and asset managers navigate volatile conditions in the capital market. Among those tools are MAC Swap futures contracts, which are intended to provide a liquid means of managing rate exposure.

MAC Swap futures offer the opportunity to trade actual interest rate swaps on a forward basis with the financial protections attendant to a standard futures contract. As such, MAC Swap futures blend the advantages of trading both futures and over-the-counter (OTC) derivative instruments in a consolidated package.
