  • Credit derivatives are a relatively recent development and are only available in the more developed financial markets and then only for specific companies. They provide insurance policies that banks can buy to shield themselves from some losses arising from loan default. They are contracts between two parties where the seller of the credit derivative agrees to pay the buyer of the contract a pre-agreed amount when a specific condition or set of conditions is met. The sellers of these policies are usually insurance companies or SPVs (special purpose vehicles) set up by insurance companies.
