Credit default swaps (CDS) intro
Let's say that I run some type of a pension fund, and I have $1 billion that I need to invest someplace.발음듣기
And I dig around a little bit, and there's this Company A over here, and it needs to borrow a billion dollars, and it's willing to give 10% interest in exchange for borrowing that billion dollars.발음듣기
So if I give these characters over here my billion dollars, if I lend it to them, if I lend them the billion dollars, on an annual basis, they're going to give me 10% interest.발음듣기
The rating agencies, the ones that in theory should be independent, they've only given Company A a BB rating.발음듣기
And so here might enter a character like AIG, and obviously things have changed since their heyday.발음듣기
So AIG could say, hey, look pension fund, why don't you lend them the money, and what we're going to do is enter into a credit default swap.발음듣기
And in exchange for that, in exchange for that 100 basis points a year, you could view this as the insurance premium, we are going to ensure that if for whatever reason Company A defaults on that debt, you can give us the debt, you can give us that debt security, and we will just give you back your billion dollars.발음듣기
And they're essentially getting to lend to a BB company, but it's in effect like lending to a AA, because as long as AIG is good for the money, then the pension fund is going to get their money back one way or the other.발음듣기
What's interesting about credit default swaps - credit default swaps sometimes referred to as CDSs - is that even though they are insurance, for all purposes they are insurance, they are not regulated like insurance.발음듣기
So typically an insurance company when they insure something, they have to set aside some money, in case that thing actually happens.발음듣기
And they could do this over and over and over and over again, kind of snowballing all of their potential liabilities.발음듣기
And so you could imagine, it's really good money while no one is defaulting, but all of a sudden when people start defaulting, then all of a sudden AIG is going to be in trouble.발음듣기
