Introduction
Interest rate derivatives are financial instruments that derive their value from the movement of interest rates. These derivatives are commonly used by financial institutions, corporations, and investors to hedge against interest rate risk. The use of interest rate derivatives has become increasingly popular in recent years as a way to manage risk and enhance returns.
This thesis aims to explore the influence of interest rate derivatives on risk hedging. By examining how these instruments are used in practice, we can gain a better understanding of their impact on risk management strategies. The research will also assess the effectiveness of interest rate derivatives in mitigating interest rate risk and improving overall portfolio performance.
