Abstract

[eng] Asset management and credit derivatives : opportunities and uncertainties . The qualified success of credit derivatives results from the very promising possibilities they offer in terms of investment opportunities and portfolio diversification. However, the market is still in its infancy : volumes represent a small fraction of the underlying credit, risk is being transferred on a thin population of credits and liquidity increases only gradually. Those products also bring new challenges, insofar as they not only modify the way borrowers are selected and monitored, but also strengthen relationships between market segments and affect the spreading of risks within the financial system. It is therefore not a surprise that regulators have paid considerable attention to the development of this market, acknowledging its potential benefits, as well as underlying the importance of thorough risk management and post-market processes and calling for enhanced market information. . JEL classification : G11, G12, G14, G28 [fre] Le formidable succès des dérivés de crédit atteste des possibilités extrêmement larges qu’ils offrent en termes d’opportunités d’investissement et de diversification de portefeuille. Mais ce marché n’en est encore qu’à ses débuts : les encours restent modestes au regard du sous-jacent, le transfert s’effectue sur une population de crédits encore relativement étroite et la liquidité ne s’accroît que progressivement. Ces produits font également apparaître de nouveaux défis, dans la mesure où ils transforment le processus de sélection et de surveillance des emprunteurs, renforcent les interactions entre compartiments de marché et affectent la répartition des risques au sein du système financier. C’est ce qui explique la vigilance des régulateurs, qui sont sensibles aux bénéfices potentiels de ce marché, mais souhaitent que les acteurs disposent de systèmes de traitement des opérations et de gestion des risques à la hauteur des enjeux et que la qualité de l’information s’améliore. . Classification JEL : G11, G12, G14, G28
