• Key Concepts: 
  A Credit-Linked Note (CLN) is a type of structured financial instrument that is used by insurance companies to manage their regulatory capital requirements. It is a debt instrument that is linked to the creditworthiness of a third party, such as a bank or other financial institution. The issuer of the CLN is typically an insurance company, and the investor is typically a bank or other financial institution. The CLN pays out a fixed rate of interest, and the principal amount is repaid at maturity. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Insurance companies use CLNs to manage their regulatory capital requirements. The CLN allows the insurance company to transfer some of its risk to the investor, while still maintaining its regulatory capital requirements. The CLN also provides the insurance company with a source of funding that can be used for investments or other purposes. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When investing in a CLN, it is important to understand the creditworthiness of the issuer and the terms of the instrument. It is also important to understand how the CLN will be affected by changes in interest rates and other market conditions.
