In a competitive market environment, the employees of the four trading units in creditworthiness trading are responsible for secondary market trading and risk management for bonds of international issuers in various currencies.
The product range includes
- Bank bonds
- Corporate bonds
- Bonds issued by supranational organizations and agencies
- Covered bonds, pfandbrief
- ABS and CLO
Trading in these products involves the active management of spread or credit risks.
Default risks can be minimised with a credit default swap (CDS). The CDS is similar to an insurance policy (also called "protection") on the default of an issuer. The insurance premium is usually based on the spread for the bond of the respective issuer. However, there may be a difference between the bond spread and the CDS premium, this is called the basis.
We provide our competitive pricing service in bonds and CDS for the strong cooperative network as well as for institutional clients from around the world on a variety of electronic platforms and via traditional telephone trading.
A high level of customer satisfaction, a professional market presence and reliable processing are the top priorities in credit trading.
