Abstract
The swap market has enjoyed tremendous growth in the last decade. With government issuesshrinking in supply and increased price volatilities, the swap term structure has emerged as analternative pricing, benchmark, and hedging mechanism to the government term structure. This
paper outlines the advantages of using the swap curve, and provides a detailed methodology forderiving the swap term structure for marking to market fixed-income products. The paperconcludes with a discussion of the proposed swap term structure derivation technique.

Rsum
Le march des swaps a connu un essor prodigieux durant les annes 1990. Avec la rduction de
loffre des titres dtat et la volatilit accrue de leurs prix, la structure terme des taux de swapsoffre une solution de rechange celle des emprunts dtat, tablissant ainsi une nouvelle courbede rfrence pour lvaluation des titres revenu fixe et la couverture des risques. Lauteur dcritles avantages que prsente lutilisation de la courbe des taux de swaps et expose en dtail unemthode permettant de dterminer celle-ci pour fins dvaluation des prix au march des titres revenu fixe. Lauteur conclut sur une discussion de la mthode quil propose.
