A vanilla PRS is a product that is used to hedge long term finance facilities against rising profit rates. The mechanics of the product are such that the client pays a fixed rate and receives the relevant floating rate equal to the reference rate (the underlying rate). Irrespective of the market rate, the client will continue to pay a fixed rate for the entire life of the trade. A vanilla PRS is a useful tool to long term liabilities, where the profit rate is fixed and there is certainty on the cash flow for the tenor of the loan. The arrangements is based on a Shariah compliant unilateral promise (waad) mechanism.
A cap is an option that provides protection to the client from rising rates, while still allowing the customer to benefit if rates fall.
