Substitution Swap
A swap that is carried out by trading a fixed-income security for a higher-yielding bond with similar features.
Investopedia Commentary
The two securities being swapped have similar coupon rates, maturity dates, call features, credit quality, etc.
Investors will most often participate in substitution swaps when they believe there is a temporary discrepancy in bond prices due to market disequilibrium.
