Credit default swaps
Explanation:
swaps de incumplimiento crediticio >
"Credit default swaps are derivative instruments based on underlying fixed income securities such as corporate and government bonds. Swaps are privately negotiated contracts traded on over-the-counter markets.
The buyer of a credit default swap pays a premium to the seller to assume the risk of the issuer of the underlying security defaulting on the coupon or interest payment. Credit default swaps are used for hedging as they enable investors to insure their bond holdings against the risk of default. They are also traded for investment purposes."
