A credit default swap (CDS) is a financial derivative that allows an investor to "swap" or transfer the credit risk of a borrower to another party. Essentially, it is a contract between two parties where one party (the buyer of the CDS) pays a periodic fee to the other party (the seller of the CDS) in exchange for protection against the risk of default on a specified debt obligation, such as a bond or loan.
