Credit Default Swaps (CDSs)

Credit Default Swaps (CDSs)

Using insurance companies as intermediaries, CDS enables institutional investors to invest in companies that may have a lower credit rating than they would normally be comfortable with.

Important information

  • The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested.
