A central counterparty receives a contract having transaction terms associated with an interest rate swap (IRS) and a position of a security, the transaction terms including an expiration date. Upon the expiration date and in a case of a physical settlement of the contract the IRS is generated based on the transaction terms. The central counterparty facilitates delivery of the security from a second counterparty to a first counterparty and starting on a specified date after the expiration date, receives payment of a fixed side of the IRS from the first counterparty, pays the fixed side of the IRS to the second counterparty, receives a floating side of the IRS from the second counterparty, and pays the floating side of the IRS to the first counterparty. In a case of a cash settlement of the contract and upon a specified date after the expiration date the contract is cash settled based on a market value of the contract. |
