Credit Default Swap Credit default swap do not hold the loan instrument and who have no direct insurable interest in the loan (these are called “naked” CDSs). If there are more CDS contracts outstanding than bonds in existence, a protocol exists to hold a credit event auction; the payment received is usually substantially less than the face value of the loan.[2] Credit default swaps have existed since the early 1990s, and increased in use after 2003. By the end of 2007, the outstanding CDS amount was $62.2 trillion,[3] falling to $26.3 trillion by mid-year 2010[4] but reportedly $25.5[5] trillion in early 2012. CDSs are not traded on an ex- change and there is no required reporting of transactions to a government agency.[6] During the 2007-2010 finan- cial crisis the lack of transparency in this large market be- If the reference bond performs without default, the protection came a concern to regulators as it could pose a systemic buyer pays quarterly payments to the seller until maturity risk.[7][8][9][10] In March 2010, the [DTCC] Trade In- formation Warehouse (see Sources of Market Data) an- nounced it would give regulators greater access to its credit default swaps database.[11] CDS data can be used by financial professionals, regu- lators, and the media to monitor how the market views credit risk of any entity on which a CDS is available, which can be compared to that provided by the Credit Rating Agencies. U.S. Courts may soon be following suit.[1] Most CDSs are documented using standard forms drafted by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA), although there are many variants.[7] In addition to the basic, single-name swaps, there are basket default swaps (BDSs), index CDSs, funded CDSs (also called credit-linked notes), as well as loan-only credit default If the reference bond defaults, the protection seller pays par value swaps (LCDS).

This is to say that the seller of the CDS insures the buyer against some reference loan defaulting. The buyer of the CDS makes a series of payments (the CDS “fee” or “spread”) to the seller and, in exchange, receives a payoff if the loan defaults. It was invented by Blythe Masters from JP Mor- gan in 1994. In the event of default the buyer of the CDS receives com- pensation (usually the face value of the loan), and the seller of the CDS takes possession of the defaulted loan.[1] However, anyone can purchase a CDS, even buyers who 1 2 1 DESCRIPTION 1 Description CDSs can be used to create synthetic long and short po- sitions in the reference entity.[9] Naked CDS constitute most of the market in CDS.[15][16] In addition, CDSs can Protection buyer also be used in capital structure arbitrage. t1 t2 t3 t4 t5 t6 ... tn A “credit default swap” (CDS) is a credit derivative con- ... tract between two counterparties.

The Valuation of Credit Default Swap with Counterparty Risk and Collateralization Tim Xiao1 ABSTRACT This article presents a new model for valuing a credit default swap (CDS) contract that is affected by multiple credit risks of the buyer, seller and reference entity. We show that default dependency has a significant impact on asset pricing. In fact, correlated default risk is one of the most pervasive threats in financial markets. We also show that a fully collateralized CDS is not equivalent to a risk-free one. In other words, full collateralization cannot eliminate counterparty risk completely in the CDS market. Key Words: valuation model; credit risk modeling; collateralization; correlation, CDS. 1 Email: [email protected] Url: https://finpricing.com/ 1 Introduction There are two primary types of models that attempt to describe default processes in the literature: structural models and reduced-form (or intensity) models.

OECD Journal: Economic Studies Volume 2012 © OECD 2013 Interest-rate-growth differentials and government debt dynamics by David Turner and Francesca Spinelli* The differential between the interest rate paid to service government debt and the growth rate of the economy is a key concept in assessing fiscal sustainability. Among OECD economies, this differential was unusually low for much of the last decade compared with the 1980s and the first half of the 1990s. This article investigates the reasons behind this profile using panel estimation on selected OECD economies as means of providing some guidance as to its future development. The results suggest that the fall is partly explained by lower inflation volatility associated with the adoption of monetary policy regimes credibly targeting low inflation, which might be expected to continue. However, the low differential is also partly explained by factors which are likely to be reversed in the future, including very low policy rates, the “global savings glut” and the effect which the European Monetary Union had in reducing long-term interest differentials in the pre-crisis period.

  • Log Normal Asset TRS Funding
    Liability-side Pricing of Swaps and Coherent CVA and FVA by Regression/Simulation Lou Wujiang1 1st Draft, August 8, 2014. Updated Dec 20, 2015. Abstract An uncollateralized swap hedged back-to-back by a CCP swap is used to introduce FVA. The open IR01 of FVA, however, is a sure sign of risk not being fully hedged, a theoretical no-arbitrage pricing concern, and a bait to lure market risk capital, a practical business concern. By dynamically trading the CCP swap, with the liability-side counterparty provides counterparty exposure hedge and swap funding, we find that the uncollateralized swap can be fully replicated, leaving out no IR01 leakage. The fair value of the swap is obtained by applying to swap’s net cash flows a discount rate switching to counterparty’s bond curve if the swap is a local asset or one’s own curve if a liability, and the total valuation adjustment is the present value of cost of funding the risk-free price discounted at the same switching rate. FVA is redefined as a liquidity or funding basis component of total valuation adjustment, coherent with CVA, the default risk component. A Longstaff-Schwartz style least-square regression and simulation is introduced to compute the recursive fair value and adjustments. A separately developed finite difference scheme is used to test and find regression necessary to decouple the discount rate switch. Preliminary results show the impact of counterparty risk to swap hedge ratios, swap bid/ask spreads, and valuation adjustments, and considerable errors of calculating CVA by discounting cash flow or potential future exposure.

    Credit Default Swap in a financial portfolio: angel or devil? A study of the diversification effect of CDS during 2005-2010 Authors: Aliaksandra Vashkevich Hu DongWei Supervisor: Catherine Lions Student Umeå School of Business Spring semester 2010 Master thesis, one-year, 15 hp ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We would like to express our deep gratitude and appreciation to our supervisor Catherine Lions. Your valuable guidance and suggestions have helped us enormously in finalizing this thesis. We would also like to thank Rene Wiedner from Thomson Reuters who provided us with an access to Reuters 3000 Xtra database without which we would not be able to conduct this research. Furthermore, we would like to thank our families for all the love, support and understanding they gave us during the time of writing this thesis. Aliaksandra Vashkevich……………………………………………………Hu Dong Wei Umeå, May 2010 ii SUMMARY Credit derivative market has experienced an exponential growth during the last 10 years with credit default swap (CDS) as an undoubted leader within this group. CDS contract is a bilateral agreement where the seller of the financial instrument provides the buyer the right to get reimbursed in case of the default in exchange for a continuous payment expressed as a CDS spread multiplied by the notional amount of the underlying debt. Originally invented to transfer the credit risk from the risk-averse investor to that one who is more prone to take on an additional risk, recently the instrument has been actively employed by the speculators betting on the financial health of the underlying obligation. It is believed that CDS contributed to the recent turmoil on financial markets and served as a weapon of mass destruction exaggerating the systematic risk.

To support these efforts, the IOSCO Research Department undertakes a number of annual information mining exercises including extensive market intelligence in financial centers; risk roundtables with prominent members of industry and regulators; data gathering and analysis; the construction of quantitative risk indicators; a survey on emerging risks to regulators, academics and market participants; and review of the current literature on risks by experts. Developments in corporate bond markets have been flagged a number of times during these exercises. In particular, the lack of data on secondary market trading and, in general, issues in emerging market corporate bond markets, have been highlighted as an obstacle in understanding how securities markets are functioning and growing world-wide. Furthermore, the IOSCO Board has recognized, through establishment of a long-term finance project, the important contribution IOSCO and its members can and do make in ensuring capital markets play a leading role in supporting long term investment in both growth and emerging and developed economies.

The views expressed in the paper are those of the authors and are not necessarily reflective of views at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the Federal Reserve System. Any errors or omissions are the responsibility of the authors. Credit Default Swap Auctions Jean Helwege, Samuel Maurer, Asani Sarkar, and Yuan Wang Federal Reserve Bank of New York Staff Reports, no. 372 May 2009 JEL classification: G10, G13, G33 Abstract The rapid growth of the credit default swap (CDS) market and the increased number of defaults in recent years have led to major changes in the way CDS contracts are settled when default occurs. Auctions are increasingly the mechanism used to settle these contracts, replacing physical transfers of defaulted bonds between CDS sellers and buyers. Indeed, auctions will become a standard feature of all recent CDS contracts from now on. In this paper, we examine all of the CDS auctions conducted to date and evaluate their efficacy by comparing the auction outcomes to prices of the underlying bonds in the secondary market. The auctions appear to have served their purpose, as we find no evidence of inefficiency in the process: Participation is high, open interest is low, and the auction prices are close to the prices observed in the bond market before and after each auction has occurred.
