UK Interest Rate Swap for Retail Investors

July 6th, 2014, 11:02 am

Hi,I am just wondering is there any way to get into a fixed/floating interest rate swap for retail investors?Looks like spread betting on the short sterling is the only option?Thanks,

Or ETFs.It's not really the same cashflows as an IRS but you can get exposure to floating-floating or fixed-floating rates/basis if you structure it correctly.
