Interest Rate Hedging
The Capital Markets team at WSFS works directly with commercial and corporate borrowers to deliver risk management strategies and products to optimally structure their debt financing needs.
By managing interest rate risk with hedging instruments, borrowers protect themselves against rising debt servicing costs. Interest rate hedging solutions are commonly used in conjunction with approaching debt refinancing, construction to permanent loans, term borrowings, interest rate resets, mergers and acquisitions, and commercial lines of credit.
