问题如下:
A CDO has three tranches with corporate bonds as its underlying assets. The total principal of the bonds is USD 100 million. Tranche 1 has USD 10 million bonds and absorbs the first 10% of the default losses. Tranche 2 has USD 20 million bonds and absorbs the next 20% of default losses. The final Tranche 3 has USD 70 million bonds and absorbs the residual default loss. Which of the following statement least accurately describe the tranches?
选项:
A.Tranche 1 has the highest yield.
B.Tranche 1 is usually called "toxic waste."
C.Tranche 1 would typically be rated as AAA by S&P.
D.Tranche 3 has the lowest yield
解释:
C is correct.
考点:CDS
解析:
The equity tranche, tranche 1, must have the highest yield, and is sometimes called "toxic waste" because it has the highest risk. Conversely, tranche 3 would have the highest credit rating and the lowest yield.
老师解析当中的tranche 1和tranche 3是不是说反了?题干当中的tranche 3是吸收所有的剩余损失,那应该是承担更高的风险获得更高的收益,所以tranche 3应该是highest yield and lower rating啊
