Antitrust: European Commission Sends Statement Of Objections To 13 Investment Banks, ISDA And Markit In Credit Default Swaps Investigation – Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Credit Default Swap (CDS)?
A credit default swap ("CDS") is a derivative contract designed to transfer the credit risk (i.e. the risk of default), linked to a debt obligation referenced in the contract. CDS are used by investors for hedging and investing. As a hedge a CDS provides protection against the credit risk arising from holding debt instruments. As an investment vehicle CDS can be used to express a view on the future development of the debt issuer's creditworthiness and earn a profit if the view is correct. CDS are by far the most important type of credit derivatives. Other less frequently used credit derivatives are options and forwards.
What is the size of the CDS market?
In 2013, there were almost 2 million active CDS contracts world-wide, with more than € 10 trillion gross notional amount (source: DTCC). The notional amount is the amount of debt the CDS contract is written on. The actual payment flows from CDS contracts are considerably smaller than the notional amounts. The payments for offering or obtaining credit protection are expressed as a percentage of the notional amount and usually quoted in basis points, i.e. in one-hundredths of a percentage point.
