Yоu’ve just stаrted аs а juniоr analyst оn the credit trading desk at a large investment bank. Early in the morning meeting, your manager gives you your first urgent assignment: “We’re holding CDS protection on that distressed company. We bought those CDS contracts to protect our holding of Bond [bond]. If the issuer defaults, we’ll have to settle the contract. The question is: should we push for cash settlement or rely on physical settlement? I want you to crunch the numbers and tell me which option is more convenient.” The company has four bonds outstanding, all of which are deliverable into the CDS contract. Their current market prices (as % of par) are: Bond Coupon Maturity Current Price (% of par) 1 [c1]% 2 years [rr1]% 2 [c2]% 4 years [rr2]% 3 [c3]% 7 years [rr3]% 4 [c4]% 10 years [rr4]% Task Type 1.001 if you recommend Cash Settlement Type 1 if you recommend Physical Settlement or if you are indifferent to either settlement.
