Pre-Settlement Credit Risk
|
The risk of a default event prior to the settlement of a transaction. The specific event leading to default can range from disavowal of a transaction, default of a trading counterparty before the credit of a clearing house is substituted for the counterparty's credit, or something akin to Herstatt risk, where one party settles and the other defaults on settlement. Also called Herstatt Risk.
