Inflation derivatives
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inflation Derivatives or inflation-indexed derivatives refer to OTC and exchange traded derivatives that are used to transfer inflation risk from one counterparty to another. Typically, real rate swaps also come under this bracket. Inflation swaps are the linear form of these derivatives. They can take a similar form to fixed versus floating interest rate swaps (which are the derivative form for fixed rate bonds), but use a real rate coupon versus floating, but also pay a redemption pickup at maturity (i.e. the derivative form of inflation-indexed bonds).
