Abstract: A Disseminated Decision. Fieldworked-Based Research on Credit Derivatives The text is based on field-worked research carried out among fund managers investing their clients' money in credit derivatives. The analysis shows that employees present themselves as a source of the decision to invest by applying procedures that imply a multiple and contradictory theoretical figure of an individual investor. Yet, their decision is actually the result of the partly hierarchical interactions within their company and it follows the rules of the network of experts where credit derivatives are produced and exchanged. Thus, the decision does not belong to an individual "investor" but it is disseminated in these social spaces.
