L'elaborato offre un'analisi nel panorama dei prodotti derivati, nello specifico del Credit Default Swap. Tale strumento ideato verso gli anni Novanta del secolo scorso ha contribuito all'effetto valanga durante la crisi dei mutui sub-prime nel 2008. Questo genus di swap, particolarmente utilizzato da grandi player internazionali, ha subito tentativi di regolamentazione nonostante sia tipicamente un prodotto scambiato over the counter. La tematica del rischio e della sua effettiva allocazione concede uno scorcio sulla rischiosità dello strumento, il quale nondimeno appare indispensabile in un'ottica di diversificazione e copertura dal rischio default di un' Entità di Riferimento.

Abstract
This paper gives an accurate analysis in the landscape of the derivatives or, more specifically, of the credit default swaps. This instrument created around the nineties of the last century has contributed to the snow ball effect during the crisis of the sub prime mortgages in 2008. This genus of swaps, particularly used by huge international players, has undergone regulatory attempts despite being a product typically traded over the counter. The topic of risk and its effective allocation provides a glimpse into the riskiness of the instrument, which nevertheless appears essential in diversification and hedging against the risk of default of a Reference Entity.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
