Certificate of Participation (COP)
A municipal obligation secured by relatively short-term leases on public facilities. In contrast to general-obligation or revenue bonds, leases provide only limited investor protection if a facility is not essential to municipal operations. Default rates on COPs have been substantially higher than default rates on other municipals.
