[Verse 1] Banking desk decisions weighing heavy on your mind Interest rates keep shifting like a pendulum through time You need some shelter from the chaos but you're counting every cent There's a clever combination that's magnificently blended [Chorus] Collar wraps around your risk, cap and floor together Buy the floor and sell the cap, smart financial tether Ceiling blocks the painful highs, basement stops the lows Collar keeps you in between where steady profit grows [Verse 2] Picture rates ascending past your comfort zone tonight Cap protection costs you premium, draining budget tight But here's the brilliant twist my friend, you flip the script around Sell a cap to someone else, let premium come back down [Chorus] Collar wraps around your risk, cap and floor together Buy the floor and sell the cap, smart financial tether Ceiling blocks the painful highs, basement stops the lows Collar keeps you in between where steady profit grows [Bridge] Zero cost or near to it when premiums align Sacrifice the upside gains to keep expenses fine Bounded range of outcomes in your calculated space Interest rate uncertainty has met its perfect match [Verse 3] Corporate treasurers and borrowers employ this balanced art Managing their exposure while protecting the bottom part Floor ensures your minimum, cap limits what you pay Collar strategy delivers peace without the price decay [Final Chorus] Collar wraps around your risk, cap and floor together Buy the floor and sell the cap, smart financial tether Ceiling blocks the painful highs, basement stops the lows Collar keeps you in between where steady profit grows [Outro] Two derivatives combined create your safety net Cost-effective risk control, the smartest hedging bet
