Credit Linked Note

From the Collaborative Bond and Money Market Data Portal 

 

A credit linked note (CLN) is a Category or type of debt instrument where movements in the price of the instrument is exposed to a credit, for example that of a specific corporate or a credit index. Typically this is achieved by embedding a credit default swap or one or more credit options. If the credit to which the note is linked defaults, then the issuer will not be required to repay the note, subject to the actual terms of the credit linked note.
