PUTTABLE SWAP

 

  • An interest rate swap in which the fixed-rate receiver has the right to terminate the contract after a specified period. The puttable swap is the opposite of a callable swap. The fixed-rate payer is effectively sold a swaption, who receives a lower fixed rate in compensation. Puttable swaps are similar to extendible swaps. Also known as a cancellable swap.
