Credit Market: Credit market refers to the market through which companies and
governments issue debt to investors, such as investment-grade bonds, junk bonds, and
short-term commercial paper. Sometimes called the debt market, the credit market also
includes debt offerings, such as notes, and securitized obligations, including collateralized
debt obligations (CDOs), mortgage-backed securities, and credit default swaps (CDS).
Equity Capital Market: A department of Investment bank that deals with structuring and
pricing the issuance of equity, such as IPO (Initial Public Offering – Flotation of the company
on the stock exchange), Private Placements and warrants in primary market. It also trades

Toxic Debt: Toxic debt are type of loans and other type of assets that have very low chance
of being repaid with interest. Such assets cause severe problem to the financial institutions
that keep them for longer period of time.
Credit default swap: is a financial swap agreement that the seller of the CDS will
compensate the buyer in the event of a debt default (by the debtor) or other credit
event. That is, the seller of the CDS insures the buyer against some reference asset
defaulting. The buyer of the CDS makes a series of payments to the seller and, in exchange,
may expect to receive a payment if the asset defaults.
For example, if a lender is worried that a borrower is going to default on a loan, the lender
could use a CDS to swap that risk. To swap the risk of default, the lender buys a CDS from
another investor who agrees to reimburse the lender in the case the borrower defaults.
Most CDS will require an ongoing premium payment to maintain the contract, which is like
an insurance policy. In the event of default, the buyer of the CDS receives compensation and
the seller of the CDS takes possession of the defaulted loan.
