Like a CDS, but the reference is a BASKET of several obligations. A 1st-to-default means that the basket is triggered when the first obligation defaults.

  • Hi David, Please correct me if I'm wrong but uncorrelated RVs are not necessarily independent. So one cannot split the joint survival probability into the product (1-5%)^20.

  • And you wonder why the US economy has collapsed....

    It's all about complexity and 'pretend' assumptions. Until reinsurers, securitizations and these types of complex financial instruments are outlawed there is no chance of recovery.

  • This is great. This really illustrates the key levers of a basket default swap quite well. Thanks.

  • very informative thx 999999

  • I think, the theme of correlation between assets default might be better explained, but anyway very informative, many thanks!

  • absolutely helpful, amazing
