Abstract

Adjustable-Rate Mortgages are often embedded with protective derivate instruments to hedge against mortgage rates volatility risk. First, we explore how writing collar options on adjustable-rates affect the total cost of debt. Then, we achieve a measure for the Benefit-Cost Rate Spread with the intent to monitor the Adjustable-Rate Mortgage global cost. Our findings are useful to provide financial practitioners with better awareness about the benefit-cost rate spread in writing protective options.
