• MUNICIPAL DERIVATIVES
  
  Synthetic securities created from municipal securities. Variable-rate, short-term securities are, for example, created from long-term, taxable municipals when remarketing agents add a series of put options, the backing of a letter of credit, and an agreement to pay interest at rates that vary weekly, monthly, quarterly, or semiannually.
