Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a credit derivative to protect against the credit risk associated with a private debt on an individual basis. A financial institution lending money to a private entity may desire a credit derivative product that allows the financial institution to protect against the risk of default by the private entity. Such a credit derivative product allows the financial institution to bifurcate the cash flow from the privately issued loan into a no-risk portion and a credit risk portion. Once an agreement for a credit derivative product is executed, the information for the derivative product may be recorded and maintained in the institution's bookkeeping system. In some instances, the agreement may include an early termination option for the protection buyer.
