Ethical Dilemma-You are a swap dealer and know that XYZ County finance director is clueless
Please give a detailed explanation on the following scenario: You are a swap dealer and know that XYZ County finance director is clueless about how to conduct interest rate risk management. If you pitch a $250,000,000 interest rate swap transaction, your personal take home compensation is $250,000. You know that you can sell the deal based on the fear of future rate increases. However, you also know that if interest rates increase, the county finances are actually better off due to floating rate assets held by the county. Thus, if the deal is done, the county finance director believes there is less interest rate risk based on your sales pitch. However, the county actually has more interest rate risk and you have your $250,000 commission. If the deal is not done, the county has less interest rate risk and you have nothing (but your integrity). What do you do? Please give a detailed explanation.
