Derivatives are traditionally valued by taking the expected future cash flows and then discounting them in accordance with interest rates to give today’s value (present value). Implicit is the assumption that the derivative contract will run to its contractual date and all the cash flows will be paid and received. However, in the real world this may not occur. The counterparty may default.

Introduction A bond is a long term debt obligation. It is sold by the borrower who is called the "issuer" in order to borrow money for the medium and long term. Typically a bond will have a maturity of between 2 and 20 years. The issuer can be a bank, company or government institution. A bond normally has a known maturity or redemption date and during its life pays the investor interest. The interest payments are called "coupons". Bond investors rank prior to equity holders in liquidation but are subordinate to secured lenders. From an issuer's perspective the coupons are usually tax deductible (unlike dividend payments on equity). Bond markets provide investors with variety. One of the most frequently issued bonds is called a floating rate note.
