Abstract: Abstract We discuss the underlying market for broadly syndicated leveraged loans that characterize the deliverable loans on which most loan-only CDSs (“LCDSs”) are based. We then review the significant distinctions between single-name CDSs (typically based on bonds issued by reference entities) and LCDSs with loan-specific deliverable obligations. Such distinctions include reference entity credit events that trigger LCDSs, the timing of coupon payments on LCDSs, the specific obligations underlying LCDSs that are deliverable into LCDS-specific auctions or physical settlements, and the embedded cancellation options in LCDSs corresponding to prepayments on underlying broadly syndicated term loans.
