Inverse Floaters are debt obligations on which the interest rates typically fall as market rates increase and increase as market rates fall. Changes in market interest rates or the floating rate of the security inversely affect the residual interest rate of an inverse floater. As a result, the price of an inverse floater will be considerably more volatile than that of a fixed-rate obligation when interest rates change. To provide investment leverage, an issuer might decide to issue two variable rate obligations instead of a single long-term, fixed-rate bond. The interest rate on one obligation reflects short-term interest rates. The interest rate on the other instrument, the inverse floater, reflects the approximate rate the issuer would have paid on a fixed-rate bond, multiplied by a factor of two, minus the rate paid on the short-term instrument. The two portions may be recombined to create a fixed-rate bond. A Portfolio might acquire both portions of that type of offering, to reduce the effect of the volatility of the individual securities. This provides a flexible portfolio management tool to vary the degree of investment leverage efficiently under different market conditions. Inverse floaters may offer relatively high current income, reflecting the spread between short-term and long-term tax-exempt interest rates. As long as the yield curve remains relatively steep and short term rates remain relatively low, owners of inverse floaters will have the opportunity to earn interest at above-market rates because they receive interest at the higher long-term rates but have paid for bonds with lower short-term rates. If the yield curve flattens and shifts upward, an inverse floater will lose value more quickly than a conventional long-term bond. A Portfolio might invest in inverse floaters to seek higher yields than are available from fixed-rate bonds that have comparable maturities and credit ratings. In some cases, the holder of an inverse floater may have an option to convert the floater to a fixed-rate bond, pursuant to a "rate-lock" option.
