**Role Overview**

A credit default swap (CDS) is a derivative contract that allows an investor to hedge against the risk of default on a debt instrument, such as a bond or loan, issued by a specific entity (the reference entity). In a CDS transaction, one party (the protection buyer) pays a periodic fee to another party (the protection seller) in exchange for protection against the default of the reference entity. If the reference entity defaults on its debt obligations, the protection buyer receives compensation from the protection seller. Investors use CDS indices for various purposes, including hedging against credit risk, speculating on changes in credit spreads or market sentiment, and gaining exposure to specific sectors or regions of the credit market. CDS indices are also used as benchmarks for evaluating credit market performance and as underlying instruments for trading and investment products, such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and structured notes.
