Credit Default Swap

A specific type of credit derivative where the underlying reference asset is a credit obligation such as a bond or a bank loan of a specific company. One counterparty (the protection buyer) makes a periodic payment (the credit default swap premium) to the second counterparty (the protection seller). If the underlying reference asset suffers a credit event such as bankruptcy, the protection seller will make a payment to the protection buyer. Credit default swaps allow protection buyers to hedge themselves against credit risk, and protection sellers to invest based on their assessment of credit risk.
