The Hidden Correlation of Collateralized Debt Obligations
ثبت نشده
چکیده
We propose a model for the correlation structure of reference portfolios of collateralized debt obligations. The model is capable of exhibiting typical characteristics of the implied correlation smile (skew, respectively) observed in the market. Moreover, it features a simple economic interpretation and is computationally inexpensive as it naturally integrates into the factor model framework.

Risk Analysis of Collateralized Debt Obligations
Collateralized debt obligations, which are are securities with payoffs that are tied to the cash flows in a portfolio of defaultable assets such as corporate bonds, play a significant role in the financial crisis that has spread throughout the world. Insufficient capital provisioning due to flawed and overly optimistic risk assessments is at the center of the problem. This paper develops stocha...

Loan spreads are analysed for two types of loans. The rst takes losses at maturity only; the second one follows the formulation of CFOs (Collateralized Fund Obligations), with losses registered over the lifetime of the contract. In both cases, the implementation requires the choice of a process for the underlying asset value and the identi cation of the parameters. The parameters of the proces...

In this paper, we review recent advances in pricing tranches of a collateralized debt obligations and credit default swap indexes: one factor Gaussian copula model and its extensions, the structural model, and the loss process model. Then, we propose using heavy-tailed functions in future research. As background, we provide a brief explanation of collateralized debt obligations, credit default ...
متن کاملSimulation Methods for Risk Analysis of Collateralized Debt Obligations
Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs) are sophisticated financial products that offer a range of investments, known as tranches, at varying risk levels backed by a collateral pool typically consisting of corporate debt (bonds, loans, default swaps, etc.). The analysis of the risk-return properties of CDO tranches is complicated by the highly nonlinear and time dependent relationship between th...
متن کاملRisk assessment for credit portfolios: a coupled Markov Chain model
Credit portfolios, as for instance Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDO’s) consist of credits that are heterogeneous both with respect to their ratings and the involved industry sectors. Estimates for the transition probabilities for different rating classes are well known and documented. We develop a Markov Chain model, which uses the given transition probability matrix as the marginal law, bu...
