I. Overview

Purpose

  • 1. Provide background on the purpose of derivatives.

Overview

The University maintains a Debt Policy which provides guidelines on the authorization and management of debt. The University manages its debt portfolio on a consolidated basis and makes debt management decisions to achieve the lowest cost of debt capital and maximize its portfolio objectives. The use of derivatives can play a key role in managing the University’s debt portfolio.

In certain circumstances, derivatives are an effective way for the University to adjust its mix of fixed- and floating-rate debt and manage interest rate exposures. Derivatives may also be an effective way to manage liquidity risks. The University’s philosophy is to use derivatives strategically to achieve asset and liability portfolio objectives and hedge existing exposures. Derivatives will not be used to create leverage or to speculate on the movement of interest rates.
