The credit derivatives market has enjoyed a strong growth in liquidity for loan products and credit derivatives for some years now. A growing number of players populate both the supply and demand sides of the market, leading to product diversification on the one hand and a broadening of demand on the other. Rapid growth has been observed, in particular, in the single name credit default swap market, through which institutions can hedge against credit default by large, well-known enterprises.
However, the instrument that can be used to hedge against credit default by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is portfolio securitisation, through which loans or loan default risk are transferred as a package. One of the reasons for making a bundled transfer is the limited exposure to individual SMEs.

In parallel with the development in the capital markets, many credit institutions are re-organising their credit risk management units. This is being driven, on the one hand, by the regulatory demands in credit risk measurement under Basel II. On the other hand, greater capital market liquidity is making loan products more mobile. Banks are conducting increasingly active credit portfolio management. For example, the capital market may be used to deliberately increase credit exposure by means of an investment or to deliberately reduce risk by loan securitisation. This enables a bank to optimise its credit portfolio, which in turn has a positive impact on its profits position.
