A collateralized loan obligation specialist is most likely to:
选项:
A.sell its debt at a single interest rate. B.cater to niche borrowers in specific situations. C.rely on diverse risk profiles to complete deals.解释:
C is correct. A CLO manager will extend several loans to corporations (usually to firms involved in LBOs, corporate acquisitions, or other similar types of transactions), pool these loans, and then divide that pool into various tranches of debt and equity that range in seniority and security. The CLO manager will then sell each tranche to different investors according to their risk profiles; the most senior portion of the CLO will be the least risky, and the most junior portion of the CLO (i.e., equity) will be the riskiest.
A is incorrect because with the different CLO tranches having distinct risks varying with their seniority and security, they will be priced over a range of interest rates. In contrast, unitranche debt combines different tranches of secured and unsecured debt into a single loan with a single, blended interest rate.
B is incorrect because debt extended to niche borrowers in specific situations is more commonly offered through specialty loans. For example, in litigation finance, a specialist funding company provides debt to a client to finance the borrower’s legal fees and expenses in exchange for a portion of any case winnings.
