ABSTRACT

With the growth of the credit derivatives market, it has become possible to determine a market price for previously illiquid and untradeable risks. Among these new risk asset classes is Counterparty Credit. We will discuss some simple pricing models of counterparty credit risk, and how to hedge these parameters. Finally, we will look at real world applications in context of a bank or corporation.
