Abstract

This study examines the market‐implied premiums for bearing systemic credit risk by analyzing credit derivatives on the CDX North American Investment Grade portfolio from September 2005 to March 2021. We construct systemic credit risk premium (SCRP) as the difference between the observed prices of multiname super‐senior tranches and their synthetic counterparts valued from historical asset correlations implied by single‐name Credit Default Swap spreads. Our findings show that the fitted SCRP surged during the 2007–2009 financial crisis, remained stable for a period, declined gradually after 2016, and spiked again during the COVID‐19 shock. The empirical analysis highlights that the estimated SCRP has significant implications for asset pricing, particularly in affecting investment opportunities for US stock investors during periods of financial instability.
