Credit derivatives terminology

By Vinod Kothari

    

Calculation agent: The party who would calculate, upon happening of the credit event the protection payments to be made by the protection seller. The calculation agent usually computes the market value of the defaulted obligation and computes the protection payment to be made. The calculation agent may not be an independent party – it may be the protection buyer or protection seller.
