Definition

Partial Defeasance Action. The setting aside by a borrower of cash or bonds sufficient to service the borrower's debt. Both the borrower's debt and the offsetting cash or bonds are removed from the Balance Sheet.

For callable debt, an issuer has money set aside to redeem a portion of an issue and the indenture states that the securities could be called earlier than the stated maturity.

In Securities trading, where a Clearing House becomes counterparty to each side of a trade, after the trade has been agreed. This is necessary to facilitate netting, and reduce Counterparty Risk. The term has become popular because of the growth of central counterparty clearing services in European cash equities markets.
