Constant Maturity Credit Default Swap

Constant Maturity Credit Default Swap

A Constant Maturity Credit Default Swap or (CMCDS) is a type of credit derivative product, similar to a standard Credit Default Swap. The difference is that a CMCDS pays a floating spread, using a traded CDS as a reference index. CMCDS may combined with CDS on the same entity to take only spread risk and not default risk on an entity.
