JPMorgan to pay most in $1.86 bln swaps price-fixing settlement -Bloomberg

(Adds comments from the banks, paragraph 4)

Oct (HKSE: 3366-OL.HK - news) 1 (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co (Xetra: 850628 - news) is set to pay almost a third of a $1.86 billion settlement to resolve claims that a dozen big banks conspired to limit competition in the credit-default swaps market, Bloomberg reported.

JPMorgan is paying $595 million, Bloomberg said, citing people who asked not to be identified because the firms haven't disclosed how they're splitting costs. (http://bloom.bg/1WAm3d5)

Morgan Stanley (Xetra: 885836 - news) , Barclays Plc (LSE: BARC.L - news) and Goldman Sachs Group Inc are paying about $230 million, $175 million and $164 million, respectively, the report said.

Goldman, JPMorgan and Barclays declined to comment. Morgan Stanley was not immediately available to comment on the report.

Credit default swaps are contracts that let investors buy protection to hedge against the risk that corporate or sovereign debt issuers will not meet their payment obligations. (Reporting by Sweta Singh; additional reporting by Sneha Banerjee in Bengaluru; Editing by Maju Samuel and David Gregorio)
