Substitution Swap

Substitution Swap
A swap that is carried out by trading a fixed-income security for a higher yielding bond with similar features.

The two securities being swapped have similar coupon rates, maturity dates, call features, credit quality, etc.

Investors will most often participate in substitution swaps when they believe there is a temporary discrepancy in bond prices due to market disequilibrium.
