| | Credit default swap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Lower credit ratings imply a greater risk that the reference entity will default on its payments and therefore the cost of protection will be higher. | | | The credit default swap (CDS) is the most widely used credit derivative. | | | The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency reported the notional amount on outstanding credit derivatives from 667 reporting banks to be $1.909 trillion. |

| | Credit default option - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In finance, a default option or credit default option is an option to buy protection (payer option) or sell protection (receiver option) as a credit default swap on a specific reference credit with a specific maturity. | | | Credit default options on single credits are extinguished upon default without any cashflows. | | | However options on credit indices such as iTraxx and iBoxx include any defaulted entities in the intrinsic value of the option when excercised. |

| | Credit Derivative |
| | Most credit derivatives entail two sources of credit exposure: one from the reference asset and the other from possible default by the counterparty to the transaction. | | | Credit events are typically defined to include a material default, bankruptcy or debt restructuring for a specified reference asset. | | | The fundamental difference between a credit default swap and a total return swap is the fact that the credit default swap provides protection against specific credit events. |

| | In a cashflow CDO, the underlying credit risks are bonds or loans held by the issuer. | | | Through the use of a credit default swap, the bank receives some recompense if the reference credit defaults. | | | The pricing method is approximate in that it ignores the credit risk of the CDS seller, who may be unable to buy the bond in the event of default (suppose in an extreme case that the seller is also the issuer of the bond which is protected). |

| | CREDIT DERIVATIVES AND RISK MANAGEMENT |
| | A credit default swap typically pays off at the occurrence of a "credit event" that amounts to a default, so would not be suitable for trading exposure to a non-performing loan portfolio — which is already in default. | | | Namely, the credit default swap provides protection that equals the excess of the payoff of a default-free bond over the payoff of a credit-risky bond with the same coupon, maturity, and other terms. | | | That puzzles you, since you associate (a) a rise in the share price with an increase in the credit quality, (b) an increase in the credit quality with a decline in the credit spread, and (c) a decline in the credit spread with a decline in the quoted cost of a default swap. |

| | Journal of Risk - Credit default swap valuation with counterparty default risk and market risk |
| | The model is applied to the valuation of vanilla credit default swaps with counterparty default risk and to the valuation of basket credit default swaps. | | | The pricing error in credit default swaps can be substantial by ignoring the correlation between market risk and credit risk, as well as between counterparty credit risk and reference credit risk. | | | In addition, because the sensitivity of basket credit default swap rates to market risk increases with the number of reference entities, the valuation error can be more substantial in pricing basket credit default swaps than credit default swaps with a single reference entity when market risk is ignored. |
