Marta Filipa das Neves Antunes This project addresses the valuation of an interest rate cap, a financial derivative used to limit exposure to fluctuations in interest rates in variable-rate financing contracts. The aim is to calculate the fair value of this cap on a specific date, based on the characteristics of the contracted financing and the observed interest rates. To achieve this, various theoretical interest rate models, such as the Black-Scholes model, will be explored and applied with the objective of mathematically formalizing the problem, selecting the most appropriate model, and gathering the necessary data for the practical implementation of the calculations. The study is particularly relevant in the context of financial risk management, enabling the company to accurately assess the effectiveness of its hedging strategies in mitigating interest rate variability.
