Credit Default Swaps (CDS) are financial instruments that allow investors to hedge against the risk of default on a loan or bond. CDSs are designed to transfer the credit risk of a borrower to a third party, such as an insurance company or investment bank, in exchange for a premium. The buyer of a CDS pays regular premiums to the seller, and in the event that the borrower defaults, the seller is obligated to pay the buyer the face value of the CDS.
