The least likely method is returning the swap to the exchange. Most swaps are over-the-counter
agreements, so there is no exchange. Even if there were, the exchange isn’t in
the business to assume one side of the swap, but rather to pair buyers and
sellers.
The following methods of terminating a swap are feasible:
- Purchasing a swaption
- Selling the swap to a counterparty
- Enter into a separate offsetting swap
- The contract specifies early termination by either party
with cash settlement
