In the Credit Index Swap panel, you can manually add and change a credit index swap. A credit index swap is a credit derivative used to hedge credit risk or to take a position on a basket of credit entities. Unlike a credit default swap, which is an over the counter credit derivative, a credit swap index is a completely standardized credit security and may therefore be more liquid and trade at a smaller bid-offer spread.

Note

This article assumes you are familiar with the entity elections that have been made for processing credit index swaps.
