credit derivatives a credit derivative is a bilateral contract between a buyer and a seller under which the seller sells protection against the credit risk of a particular entity ( 201creference entity 201d or 201creference credit 201d ) .
credit derivatives generally require that the seller of credit protection make payments to the buyer upon the occurrence of predefined credit events ( commonly referred to as 201csettlement triggers 201d ) .
these settlement triggers are defined by the form of the derivative and the reference credit and are generally limited to the market standard of failure to pay on indebtedness and bankruptcy of the reference credit and , in a more limited range of transactions , debt restructuring .
credit derivative transactions referring to emerging market reference credits will also typically include additional settlement triggers to cover the acceleration of indebtedness and the risk of repudiation or a payment moratorium .
in certain transactions , protection may be provided on a portfolio of referenced credits or asset-backed securities .
the seller of such protection may not be required to make payment until a specified amount of losses has occurred with respect to the portfolio and/or may only be required to pay for losses up to a specified amount .
the company makes markets in and trades a range of credit derivatives , both on behalf of clients as well as for its own account .
through these contracts , the company either purchases or writes protection on either a single name or a portfolio of reference credits .
the company uses credit derivatives to help mitigate credit risk in its corporate loan portfolio and other cash positions , to take proprietary trading positions , and to facilitate client transactions .
the range of credit derivatives sold includes credit default swaps , total return swaps and credit options .
a credit default swap is a contract in which , for a fee , a protection seller ( guarantor ) agrees to reimburse a protection buyer ( beneficiary ) for any losses that occur due to a credit event on a reference entity .
if there is no credit default event or settlement trigger , as defined by the specific derivative contract , then the guarantor makes no payments to the beneficiary and receives only the contractually specified fee .
however , if a credit event occurs and in accordance with the specific derivative contract sold , the guarantor will be required to make a payment to the beneficiary .
a total return swap transfers the total economic performance of a reference asset , which includes all associated cash flows , as well as capital appreciation or depreciation .
the protection buyer ( beneficiary ) receives a floating rate of interest and any depreciation on the reference asset from the protection seller ( guarantor ) , and in return the protection seller receives the cash flows associated with the reference asset , plus any appreciation .
thus , the beneficiary will be obligated to make a payment any time the floating interest rate payment according to the total return swap agreement and any depreciation of the reference asset exceed the cash flows associated with the underlying asset .
a total return swap may terminate upon a default of the reference asset subject to the provisions in the related total return swap agreement between the protection seller ( guarantor ) and the protection buyer ( beneficiary ) . .
