Target Swap

A target swap or note is a special accrued (range) swap or note.  Target swaps are also known as “range you choose” swaps.

At each coupon reset date, the counterparty chooses a central rate.  The range for the period is a symmetric band about the central rate.  If the index rate is within the range, the interest is accrued as Leverage * Index + Spread.  If the index rate is outside the range, interest is accrued as OutCoupon.  Interest is accrued daily.

The following is a sample dialog window for  a target swap.
