A credit default swap (CDS) is basically a type of insurance policy that protects holders against the risk of default and other risks for a defined period of time. In this policy, the lender who is concerned about a borrower defaulting on a loan buys a credit default swap from another investor who agrees for the reimbursement if the borrower defaults. A credit default swap can be constructed on a single entity or as indexes containing multiple entities. Many investors used these securities to take a view on a particular credit event bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation acceleration, and, in some countries, involuntary restructuring. Also, investors can trade CDS to make a profit if they believe its price is too high or low.
Moreover, credit default swaps have two sides to the trade: a buyer of protection and a seller of protection. A credit default swap is written on the debt of a third party, called the reference entity. In case if the reference entity undergoes a credit event, the seller of protection pays the payment to the buyer of protection.
In addition, when a credit event occurs, the settlement of the CDS contract can be done either by physical delivery of the reference obligation from the buyer of protection to the seller of protection in exchange for the CDS notional or through a cash payment from the seller of protection to the buyer of protection. Buyers and sellers of protection participating in the credit event auction have a choice between both the settlement options.
