CDOs
Concept is derived from securitisation Pool, tranches Pool with a very minimum of 10 to 20 assets Below 10 / 20 assets => Exotic Credit Derivatives area Usually the minimum is 50 (optimal number = 100 to 120 assets) Tranches = debt securities format Senior (super-senior = AAA tranche) Mezzanine (upper, lower) Equity (most junior debt) Also called first loss tranche
More risk

CDOs (contd)
Senior: 80 Mezz : 15 Eqty : 5
Pool 100
and 3 different senarios: If over the CDO life, the cumulative losses of the pool = 3
Senior tranche is not hit Mezz tranche is not hit
Mezz tranche is totally hit (by 15) Equity tranche is totally hit (by 5)

Objective
Balance sheet = credit portfolio management, reglementary issues, capital optimization, Arbitrage = taking advantage of the difference between the average return on the reference portfolio and the payments made to the tranches investors (= excess spread) Transfer mode Cash vs Synthetic
Cash = True sale of the underlying credit assets portfolio Synthetic = risk transfert via CDS Cash Flow CDO vs Market value CDO Cash flow = CDO revenues driven by those of the underlying credit assets portfolio + revenues allocation to investors according to note seniority (= cash flow waterfall) Market value (CDS based technology) = CDO performance linked to the variation of the underlying credit assets market value Static vs Managed CDO Static = Credit assets reference pool is defined at implementation and remain unchanged during all the life of the transaction Managed = Credit assets reference pool can fluctuate over time according to CDO manager trading decisions

The capital structure is not entirely distributed Single-tranche synthetic CDOs are also called Bespoke tranches Indeed, the investor can customize various caracteristics (= portfolio composition, term, rating,tranche size, subordination, ) Structure that can be self managed or externally managed Bilateral instrument (= no distribution) Non publicly rated structure Correlation desks are the natural counterparties Correlation desk traders Delta-hedge their position in the CDS markets Tranche underlying names need to be liquid Pricing & rating of single tranches will now be examined in part 2

The two distributions have the same mean ( = 2.8%) Correlation impacts the standard deviation of the cumloss distribution Correlation increases the sub area of senior tranches ( Loss distribution attracted to the right)
For the correlation @10%, there is a 1.05% probability that cumulative losses over 3 year will fall in the [6% - 100%] interval of pool size For the correlation @20%, there is a 3.12% probability that cumulative losses over 3 year will fall in the [6% - 100%] interval of pool size
Naturally those expected losses will drive the tranche pricings The larger the area of the tranche below the curve, the higher the spread Correlation increases Senior tranche price Correlation decreases Eqty tranche price Correlation has a relatively neutral impact on Mezz tranche Note: such statement is no longer true for very high correlation levels (impact of the 100% correlation bimodal distribution)

Determining tranche pricings through a CumLoss approach with a unique correlation figure is indeed possible around the equity zone But when applying the same approach to upper mezz and senior tranches, you find spread levels extremely low (near to zero bp) Whereas the market quotes hardly fall below 1 or more bppa Who would sell protection at 0.1 bppa? The law of supply and demand leads to higher market spreads,and hence higher correlation levels Such a market practice explains the correlation smile (same as for the options markets) The more senior the tranche, the higher the level of correlation induced by the market

Bootstrapping method
Base correlation related to x% is the correlation of the [0, x%] equity tranche on a standardised portfolio Recursive calculation of the base correlation curve [0%-3%] tranche spread known from mkt BaseCorrrel (3%) then calculated f-1(Spread [0% - 3%]) = compound Correlation
[3% - 6%] tranche spread known from mkt Given that [3% - 6%] tranche pricing depends on BaseCorrel (3%) and BaseCorrel (6%),
6%- 9% tranche spread known from mkt BaseCorrrel (9%) then calculated etc. Bootstrapping is a calculation method that derives the BaseCorrel of a senior tranche from a more junior tranche

Thus, my tranche represents 6.7% of the portfolio global cost of carry Cost of carry of the tranche related to pool nominal = 56 bppa * 3% = 1.68bppa This cost related to the global cost of carry of the pool = 1.68bppa / 25 bppa = 6.7% It can be noted that the lower the tranche seniority, the higher its relative cost of carry, and thus the more important its Delta In other words, the delta of the tranche is 6.7%. It means that the tranche behaves like 6.7% of the portfolio in terms of MtM Delta-hedging (by a correlation desk) will thus be done on a nominal of 6.7% * 100 billion = 6.7 billion MtM (for the investor) = - 6.7% * [0.40% - 0.25%] * [3.7 year] * 100 billion
Pool nominal
MtM (for the investor) = - 37 million Calculation looks like the MtM of a Bond

Tranche Delta is used: By investors (correl desk) to hedge their exposure to movements in the CDS spread of the underlying credits Delta = definition of the CDS underlying nominal that needs to be sold / bought to hedge a short/long synthetic CDO tranche position By CDO sponsors to manage the transactions Delta = indication of the cost of substituting underlying credits. Delta main features Tranche delta range from 0% to 100% of pool nominal Tranche delta are usually quoted in terms of notional amount needed to hedge the tranche against spread movements of the particular underlyings. Delta = (Tranche spread var. / CDS on the specific underlying spread var.) * Tranche notional Tranche Delta depends on: Attachment point (= subordination) Tranche thickness Pool spread Time to maturity Default correlation

The more junior the tranche, the higher its delta Tranches that are lower in the capital structure are more risky as there is less protection against default risk

The larger the tranche, the higher delta For a fixed level of subordination (here = 3%), a wider tranche is exposed to a larger band of losses, and is therefore more risky Note that the increase in tranche delta flattens out once the limit of possible losses is reached

Pool spread: Tranche deltas are linked to the risk profile of the pool. The riskier the pool, the greater the delta of the Eqty tranche the lower the delta of the senior tranche Time to maturity: As the time to maturity tends to 0, defaults becomes less likely to occur, the delta of the Eqty tranche converges to 100% of the pool nominal, and the deltas of all other tranches converge to 0% : Default correlation As correlation level increases,the risk is shifted to the senior tranche (= higher probability of joint default), the delta of the Eqty tranche decreases and the delta of the senior tranche increases

MtM
Point of time Issuance + 1Year + 2Years + 3Years + 4 Years + 5 Years (Residual maturity = 14 days)
All parameters being equal We look at the [3% - 6%] tranche We make strong assumptions: Portfolio spread (= 25bppa) remains unchanged all along the life of the CDO Correlation curve remains unchanged (Attachment point = 15% / Detachment point = 23.8%) To explain the curve shape, lets simplify the MtM formula by ignoring the Delta impact (negligible since moving into a relatively narrow corridor)
As time to maturity decreases, the MtM deteriorates (there is less time for defaults to hit the [3% - 6%] mezzanine tranche Tranche spread decreases)
up until a certain point of time when MtM increases again until reaching 0 at maturity ( time decay impact on tranche MtM superior to spread reduction impact)

All parameters being equal We look at the [0% - 3%] tranche and the [3% - 6%] tranche Maturity = 5 years We make strong assumptions:
Correlation curve remains unchanged: 15% /15% for the tranche [0%-3%] and 15% / 23.8% for the tranche [3% - 6%]
We move the portfolio spread from 25bppa to 50 bppa [0% - 3%] tranche spread moves from 872 bppa (core) to 1727 bppa [3% - 6%] tranche spread moves from 56 bppa (core) to 216 bppa The ratio 34.2/1 is the leverage of that tranche The ratio 6.4/1 is the leverage of that tranche
Eqty tranche is the most sensitive to portfolio (and single-name) wide spread moves Note that tranche spread vs pool spread curve is sligthly convex

Correlation curve remains unchanged: 15% /15% for the tranche [0%-3%] and 15% / 23.8% for the tranche [3% - 6%] Duration can be defined as a kind of discounted average life time The riskier (= more junior) the tranche The higher the portfolio spread the higher the number of default the smaller the duration
Note that American priced tranche will always have a smaller duration than European priced tranche
