Terminology “Collateralized Debt Obligations”
A type of asset-backed security, constructed from a portfolio of fixed-income assets. The assets are classified in three levels or “tranches”: AAA-rated (or “senior”), AA to BB-rated (or “mezzanine”), and Unrated (or “equity”).

Tranches”

Terminology “Special Purpose Vehicles”
A CDO starts with the creation of a “Special Purpose Vehicle.” The SPV is typically an offshore Trust, and so a law firm is involved in its creation. It also needs a Trustee (often a bank) and an accounting firm.

Terminology “Tranches” of bonds
The SPV issues three kinds of bonds and equity securities:
• AAA-rated bonds (“senior” - paid first)
• Lower-rated bonds (“mezzanine” paid after senior)
• Unrated bonds (“equity” – you’re kidding, right?)
Senior, Mezzanine and Equity

Terminology A CDO needs an
“underwriter,” to select the debtor-equity ratio, design the tranches, and set the prices on the coupons for investors in the equity notes. The underwriter is typically an investment bank.
