- 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
Best explanation of SWAPS I have ever seen
This man is a pedagogical wizard. Shame he stopped making videos.
Did he really stop?
Thanks Dustin!
@Dustin Suryadi Thank you for the info!!!
He's doing vids on killik and co's channel now.
follow his blog 'moneyweek.com'
This is one of the best videos on SWAPs you could ever come across. Thank you for coming up with such a brilliant video Sir.
This concept was real hard to grasp. This video made it look easy. You are a good teacher.
Better and clearer explanation than a whole 3 hr class with my professor
You just explained one of the most complicated practice in finance in the easiest way possible. Great job!!
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🥰
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.
This guy is for some reason hilarious, yet such a great teacher! thumbs up all day every day.
i would have aced my economics if this guy thought me!
JeevS GOne Still fail your spelling test though
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!!
This is the best video on swaps that explains the basic concepts extremely well
He is great. Why did he stopped making videos? How can we get him back to teaching.
He has explained a difficult and complicated topic in a simple, objective manner. Best explanation I have ever seen.
Learning for my state exams - Mr.Bennett you are saving me this week!
A very good and clear explanation of an OTC swap. No long winded introductions simply concise and to the point.
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!
The best explanation on IR Swaps I've ever heard! Thanks!
No one could have explained it better. The way you teach is amazing.
Thank you, sir :)
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.
This video has clarified swaps and relieved me of pre-exam stress and anxiety. thank you TIM
You make a strong difference to many. BEST TEACHER EVER!!! Thank you so much!
My lecturer explained this and nobody understood anything but here everything is clear. Great job!

Man, i know only the basic of finance, but i think i understand most of the video. Thanks.
Thanks man. This video really helped me understand the basics of swaps. It even helped more than an hour of reading.
Thank you so much for making swaps so easy to learn!!! Thanks a lot!!! Better than going to my lectures actually!!!

I am an engineer undergraduate and just wanted to inform you that your new job is to teach me all the terms that are flying around in financial movies. Thank you for that, keep the good work up :)
You explained the hard finance concept in a so vivid and gentle way~~ I think I really got the business model of a swap bank
Making money by offering better financial deal to clients! It’s really the magic of finance
I love your videos Tim, very well thought out and presented clearly. Thank you!
Such a great video. Very simple to understand. Get yourself prepared for the upcoming CFA exam, guys. Good luck!
That was awesome! So clear cut! I am better prepared for my final now! Thank you :D
After watching many videos on this topic, your explanation has made me finally have an understanding of this topic. Thanks a million Sir.😊
This is MUCH more useful than my stupid CPA material, thanks you so much!!!!!!!
Finally understand “swap” 😀 Thanks!
What an educator you are, Sir!
Salute
This video is f.. brilliant. No one explained it better. Thanks.
Thank you for all the knowledge that you have imparted with such ease of understanding. I am a fan of all your work ! :)
This is the best explanation ever for newbie, if you know absolutely nothing about swap or are confused. He really explained it as you were a five year old which is something I wanted lol
This was very helpful in understanding a rather complicated concept. Thank you!
In my 4 years of business school this is the best display of teaching I have ever seen; this man should be a finance professor making six figures.
Why has no textbook ever thought to explain it this way? We spend hard-earned money buying books that intentionally obfuscate things and leave the reader more confused than they were before reading them.
Thanks so much Tim Bennett for making this rocket science of a concept feel like ABC. I must confess for a moment there I was checking the comment section expecting to see people who understood swaps screaming about how wrong his explanation was because, by Jove, there's no way this concept could be this simple. From the comments so far, I can now fully accept Tim's explanatory genius. Again, thanks Tim.
This guy explains these topics in a matter that is very easy to understand. Thank you sir.
Finally Got a teacher. Thanks
You kept me fully interested until the end. You enlightened me in a moment when you said it is financial magic.
It is the simplest and straight to the point IRS explanation I've ever found.
nice presenation! Your speaking speed really help non-English speaker to understanding swap! Thank you
You are probably the only reason I now have a better chance at passing my final on Tuesday.
I'm learning a LOT from your videos - they're very clear - thanks!
