Student Educational Loan Fund, Inc. (Abridged)
By: Peter Tufano
Abstract
Rick Melnick oversees the Student Educational Loan Fund (SELF), which provides loans to Harvard Business School students. SELF is changing the terms of student loans from variable-rate with semiannual payments to fixed-rate loans with equal monthly payments. Melnick must decide how to finance SELF in light of the new loan mix. SELF can use a wide range of interest rate derivative products to modify the terms of its existing financing.
