Method, system, and computer program for an electronically traded synthetic exchange traded coupon
First Claim
1. A method for making vanilla interest rate swap more fungible by creating a synthetic interest rate swap comprising:
- selecting a consecutive series of futures that value a forward start interest rate swap to start on a settlement date; and
selecting a term of the futures that replicates the floating-rate payment terms for the interest rate swap that is being synthetically replicated.

Abstract
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, a novel method, system, process, and computer program is provided that synthetically replicates a plain vanilla IR Swap through a future as well as to create a more fungible interest rate swap in the spot market. The forward start interest rate swaps of the present invention consist of a consecutive series of futures that value a forward start interest rate swap to start on a settlement date. The futures replicate the floating-rate payment terms for the interest rate swap that is being synthetically replicated. The spot interest rate swap is a standardized interest rate swap that is fungible.
