Abstract
The explosively-growing credit derivatives market provides international investors a new and complementary platform to trade and hedge credit risk and sovereign risk, alone or combined with other positions. Understanding the products and functions, participants, risk and opportunities in the credit derivative market is essential for international investors to maximize investment returns and minimize risk in this market, as well as in traditional bond and loan markets. This is particularly important in an increasingly integrated global financial market. This chapter provides an overview of the global credit derivatives market, including the history, new trends, products, participants, and risk, and then discusses the alternative investment and hedging opportunities provided by this market to international investors.
