0.01 sec.

An interest rate swap where the buyer is permitted to pick the maturities of the interest rates swapped. For example, the buyer may choose to receive the six month interest rate (calculated over some notional amount) while paying a one-year rate. One buys a CMS when one believes he/she knows the direction of future rates.
