1 2.1 Introduction
The main purpose of this chapter is to introduce interest-rate risk management. Interest-
rate risk has received increased attention as an important source of corporate risk in recent
times. Interest-rate movements may affect present and future cash fl ows of the company.
We begin by examining the various sources of interest-rate risks and their impact on the
company. We then examine how these risks can be managed using a range of interest-rate
management techniques including the use of interest-rate products such as forward-rate
agreements, interest-rate swaps, futures and options. The chapter concludes with a brief
summary.
