interest rate, or an exchange rate.

How can derivatives be used?• Forwards and futures: to hedge an existing
market exposure.• Options: to obtain downside protection to an
exposure even while retaining upside potential.
• Swaps: to transform the nature of an exposure.
• Credit derivative: to obtain insurance against events such as default.

What’s gross notional outstanding value?
Notional outstanding refers to the principal amount of the contracts.
• If a forward contract calls for the delivery of 1,000 oz of gold at a price of $1,800/oz, the notional outstanding in the contract is $(1, 800 × 1, 000) = $1.80 million.
• If an option gives the holder the right to buy 10,000 shares of Google at $500/ share, the notional outstanding in the contract is $(10, 000 × 500) = $5 million.
• If a swap calls for the exchange of floating cash flows for fixed cash flows on a principal of $100 million, the notional outstanding in the swap is $100 million.

Three main types of CDS• Single name: The reference entity is an individual
corporation, bank, or government.• Index: CDS referring to multiple constitutent entities in
the index with each entity having an equal share of the notional amount. The degree of standardisation is highest for these contracts.
• Basket CDS: CDS with more than one reference entity (typically between three and one hundred names). Specific types include first-to-default CDS, full basket CDS, untranched basket and tranched basket known as a synthetic CDO.

one of its obligations.• Repudiation/moratorium: where the reference entity
repudiates or declares a moratorium over some or all of its debts.
• Restructuring: where the reference entity arranges for some or all of its debts to be restructured causing a material change in their creditworthiness.

CDS uses: hedging and Speculat ion
• An individual or company that is exposed to a lot of credit risk can shift some of that risk by buying protection in a CDS contract.
• CDS provide a very efficient way to take a view on the credit of a reference entity.

CDS: Market risks• The market for CDS is OTC and unregulated.• Contracts often get traded so much that it is hard
to know who stands at each end of a transaction.• Counterparty risk.• The possibility that a widespread downturn in the
market could cause massive defaults and challenge the ability of risk buyers to pay their obligations.
• Leverage.
