Consider a fixed-rate semiannual-pay equity swap where the equity payments are the total return on a $1 million portfolio and the following information:
What is the fixed rate on the swap?
| ||
| ||
|
(1 – 1/1.045) / (1/1.021 + 1/1.045) = .022239 × 2 = 4.4477%
Consider a $5 million semiannual-pay floating-rate equity swap initiated when the equity index is 760 and 180-day LIBOR is 3.7%. After 90 days the index is at 767, 90-day LIBOR is 3.4 and 270-day LIBOR is 3.7. What is the value of the swap to the floating-rate payer?

|
1.0185 = 1 + 0.037(180/360) 1.0085 = 1 + 0.034(90/360) 767/760 – 1.0185/1.0085 = ?0.00070579 × 5,000,000 = ?$3,526 Note: The 1.0185/1.0085 is the present value of the floating rate side after 90 days.
Consider a semiannual equity swap based on an index at 985 and a fixed rate of 4.4%. 90 days after the initiation of the swap, the index is at 982 and London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is 4.6% for 90 days and 4.8% for 270 days. The value of the swap to the equity payer, based on a $2 million notional value is closest to:

|
?$22,564 is the value to the fixed-rate payer, thus $22,564 is the value to the equity return payer.
