Effective credit risk management is one of the biggest challenges that the participants in the financial market have to face. For that reason the Credit Default Swaps were created as a tool of managing and reducing the credit risk. Since the valuation of CDS contracts is considered as a complicated process, various valuation models have been developed. The main purpose of this thesis is to review the basic characteristics of a CDS contract and to present the reduced-form valuation model based on the hazard rate method developed by D. O’Kane & S. Turnbull (2003). Furthermore, aim of the thesis is the application of the valuation model of O’Kane & Turnbull by using hypothetical data, utilizing suitable software.
