Interest Rate Swap hedging permitted with notional limited to assets hedged; single counterparty limits apply, except for CCP cleared trades. Mutual funds may enter into plain vanilla Interest Rate Swaps (IRS) for hedging, with swap notional not to exceed the value of the assets being hedged. For OTC IRS, counterparties must be regulated market makers and exposure to a single counterparty is subject to a single-counterparty exposure cap. If IRS are transacted via an electronic trading platform where a clearing corporation acts as central counterparty guaranteeing settlement, the single-counterparty cap does not apply.
