FT Alphaville tiene una muy buena serie de posts sobre un método (una subasta) por el cual se obtiene el monto definitivo que paga un CDS (si un evento de default ocurre).
To the extent that CDS are used to hedge, rather than speculate, the outcomes of these auctions will dictate how effective the hedge has been.
In this series, FT Alphaville looks at why the auction process was put in place, how it works, and why it may be biased — while discussing some rather curious cases along the way.
Aquí están los links los tres posts.
- Why do they exist?
- A necessary condition for growth
- Mechanics

FT Alphaville nos regala -en este lunes invernal- dos post excelentes sobre ETFs. Uno digno de la sección Finanzas 101 y el otro sobre cuestiones más “profundas” sobre este tipo de instrumento: ETFs manejados de forma activa. Un tejemaneje de incentivos, donde pelean la trasparencia y la reserva de información.
The fund (Eaton Vance) began the regulatory process to approve five non-transparent actively managed bond ETFs in March 2010, based on highly technical patented processes. In April this year, the Securities and Exchange Commission finally granted the fund manager’s request.
So how did they do the impossible?
In a nutshell, their success lies in the intellectual property they came up with, their patented processes for non-transparent trading.
Aqui esta la patente.

FT Alphaville tiene un buen post sobre la actualidad del mercado de CDS (soberanos). Ofrece gráficos interesantes y una respuesta a la pregunta: ¿Que es el Quanto Spread y por qué existe?
The difference between the USD CDS spread and EUR CDS spread is referred to as the Quanto spread.
