- Tim Bennett explains how an interest rate swap works - and the implications for investors.

MoneyWeek videos are designed to help you become a better investor, and to give you a better understanding of the markets. They’re aimed at both beginners and more experienced investors.
In all our videos we explain things in an easy-to-understand way. Some videos are about important ideas and concepts. Others are about investment stories and themes in the news. The emphasis is on clarity and brevity. We don’t want to waste your time with a 20-minute video that could easily be so much shorter.
I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my inherited portfolio of about $2.5m. I’m used to just buying and holding assets which doesn’t seem applicable to the current rollercoaster market plus inflation is catching up with my portfolio. I’m really worried about survival after retirement.
True, I mostly just buy and hold stocks, but my portfolio has been mostly in the red for quite awhile now. Unfortunately to be able to make good gains, you’ll need to be consistent and restructure your portfolio frequently.
It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.
My partner’s been considering going the same route, could you share more info please on the advisor that guides you?
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Colleen Rose Mccaffery” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Thanks a lot for this suggestion. I needed this myself, I looked her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
To explain something like this in a way that someone new can understand is really admirable.
Exactly!
Indeed! 😍
Totally! I think I got it
He’s the best

I watched a 2 hours lecture twice just to know and understand how swap works, but I got nothing. I watched this 15 minutes video only once and I got the whole idea. Very grateful
Same , my teacher is so bad
This concept was real hard to grasp. This video made it look easy. You are a good teacher.
This guy is for some reason hilarious, yet such a great teacher! thumbs up all day every day.
I am studying for an exam right now, and this has come in really handy. I really could not understand the concept of interest rate swaps earlier from text books and you really explained it in such an easy manner. I am so stunned and genuinely happy that I now understand this concept. Thank you. Thank you so much for explaining it in such an easy to understand way🥰
this is brilliant content - I was never confident with explaining what swaps are and now I feel like I could confidently go into my interview to explain! thank you so much!!
I can't say how appreciate I am. This video gives me the feeling that "that's what swap is about!!!" how amazing! Thank you so much.
You just explained one of the most complicated practice in finance in the easiest way possible. Great job!!
Thank you very much.I couldn't understand this for many time.But now it's crystal clear.Thanks again.You have made my day.
Extremely well explained! I kept asking where the original loans were coming from to better understand why the two companies need to enter into a swap agreement. You're video is the only I could find that answers my question. Thank you!
A very good and clear explanation of an OTC swap. No long winded introductions simply concise and to the point.

Sir, I just learned the the Interest Swap and taught it to 7 colleagues through class room training. Once again Thanks a lot.
I have been assigned a new Project - Canara Bank Derivatives where the implementation is going on.
Your understanding way and constructing the sentences wisely helped to understand the concept/functionality.
No one could have explained it better. The way you teach is amazing.
