Premium Leg


A regular stream of payments made by the protection buyer to the protection seller in a default swap (a credit default swap/ CDS). The proportion of these payments is calculated from a quoted default swap spread which is charged and paid on the face value of the underlying defaultable asset (for which protection is cherished). These payments are regularly made until a credit event takes place or until maturity (of the swap), whichever comes first.
