The
quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and
credit
indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the
likelihood
of an expected loss (or profit) for the credit derivative had the notional amount of the swap agreement
been
closed/sold as of the period end. Decreasing market values (sell protection) or increasing market values (buy
protection),
when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced
entity’s
credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under
the
terms of the agreement. |
4
|
Implied
credit spreads, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate or
sovereign
issues as of period end, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and
represent
the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular
referenced
entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be
made
to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit
soundness
and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of
the
agreement. A credit spread identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced
entity
or obligation. |
