Definition

Key used for defining a spread type.

Use

You can define spread types as a non-identifying characteristic for each yield curve. Before the system generates such a yield curve with spread from the market data, it adds the reference interest rate and interest rate spread at the grid points.

Example

You can, for example, create spread types for a mortagage bond spread via-à-vis government bond yields, or for a spread determined by rating agencies via-à-vis government bond yields.
