Indexed Rate

See: Indexed ARM.

Rates (like college lovers) change all the time. Many home mortgages, for example, are pegged to LIBOR, which changes regularly with the tweakings of the British banking system. So a typical home mortgage rate might be indexed to LIBOR, as in, "LIBOR plus 120 basis points," or something like that.
