Credit-linked notes, CLN (also referred to in German)

Special type of credit derivative. These are bonds issued by the protection buyer (floating rate payer; usually by a special purpose vehicle – also known as special purpose vehicle [SVP] and conduit [conduit]), but where the full nominal amount is only paid out at the end of the term if the agreed credit event – usually by reference to the master agreements of the International Swaps and Derivates Association – has not occurred by then. – In addition to the credit risk of the reference asset, the fixed rate payer also assumes the credit risk of the issuer. In most cases, CLNs are issued in different tranches, which are rated accordingly by rating agencies. – See derivatives transactions clearing obligation, derivatives transactions reporting obligation, first loss tranche, credit derivative, credit securitization, originate-to-distribute strategy, senior tranche, single master liquidity conduit, securitization, securitization structure. – Cf.
