scusate ma ne ho scoperto una grossa....
ne abbiamo parlato tutti, ma che cazz è un "first to default basket" ?
First to Default notes (FTD) offer investors enhanced returns on the credit risk of a basket of corporates. Detailed below is a simple explanation of the mechanics of FTDs and highlight some recent examples.
FTD notes are similar in structure to the CLNs detailed in the Credit Products. Credit Linked Notes. The key difference is that instead of taking the credit exposure of a single company, here the investor takes the credit exposure on the first company to default within a specified basket of companies (as defined by an underlying reference portfolio). In exchange for taking this credit risk, the investor receives regular coupon payments.
If any member of the portfolio suffers a credit event, such as bankruptcy, the FTD note will cease to exist and the issuer (for example ABN AMRO) will deliver to the investor the bonds of the entity which experienced the credit event.

è esattamente il contrario di quanto scritto da Repubblica !!!
un FTD lo compra un investitore che scommette sul NON-DEFAULT !
