Create a Standard Phase in a Facility Agreement Tranche

A facility agreement in Fairways Debt is an envelope involving different tranches subject to specific legal conditions (standard loans), which can be shared among pools of different lenders and borrowers. Third parties are not necessarily involved in all tranches. This type of financing transaction is widely used in the real estate sector.

Create:

  • Standard phases to add a fixed/floating rate change confirmed in the contract.
  • Phases with projected fixed rates to estimate the future fixed rate, based on the swap rate and a spread, and to create an event that will notify you when the rate will be fixed.
  • Phases with projected floating rates to create an event that will notify you when the new index is determined.
