CVA exposure to 30y

January 19th, 2012, 10:01 am

The only time I ever hear CVA desks mentioned in market comments, is in conjunction with the phrase 'receiving heavily in EUR 30y swaps'. I assume there is some technical reasons why CVA desks are so exposed to the 30y part of the curve, and why they are always the same way. Can anyone explain this?

I think there's a thread on this already, started by freddiemac, if memory serves.
