问题如下:

Which of Larent’s statements about structured financial instruments is most likely correct? The statement about:

选项:

A.relative value. B.diversification. C.the value of the senior tranches.

解释:

Solution

A is correct. Laurent’s statement about relative value is correct. CDOs are securities whose underlying cash flows are the interest and principal of the underlying debt instruments that are pledged as collateral. Whenever the value of a CDO is different from the value of its underlying collateral (in this example, the CDO value is lower as implied by the BB rating of its underlying debt instruments), an arbitrage opportunity exists. In this example, the trade opportunity is to (1) short (alternatively, purchase credit default swaps on) the underlying bonds and (2) purchase the undervalued CDO.

B is incorrect because the collateral for a CDO consists of its underlying corporate bonds. Accordingly, there is no diversification benefit.

C is incorrect because the mezzanine tranche of a CDO increases by more than the senior tranche whenever correlations increase.

AA rated CDOs currently offer significant relative value for long-term investors as the yield spread reflects a BB default rate expectation for the underlying collateral.

资产是AA rated CDOs,即底层资产池是AA-rated bond。因为题目没说是分层结构,那就认为只有一层资产,这样的话底层资产是多少评级,外层资产CDO算出来的spread应该就反映这个评级。

所以,如果CDO的定价是合理的,CDO的价格反算出来的spread应该是AA级别的Spread。

但是,根据CDO市场价格算出来的yield spread是BB级别的(as the yield spread reflects a BB default rate expectation),这说明CDO的价格是被低估的。他不应该按BB级别定价,合理的价格应该是按AA级别的更低的spread定价,即合理价格应该更高。

所以可以买入CDOs,等待市场价格回归合理价。

For purposes of versification, both collateralizeobligations (Cs) antheir unrlying corporate bon shoulincluin the portfolio. rateCs currently offer significant relative value for long-term investors the yielsprereflects a fault rate expectation for the unrlying collateral.”大背景环境会变好为了做分散化,要同时买C和C底层的corporate bon—这个应该不太对,要么只买C要么只买底层,同时买肯定不是分散化。现在AA的C提供的相对价值比BB的预期违约率要高“rateCs currently offer significant relative value for long-term investors the yielsprereflects a fault rate expectation for the unrlying collateral.”——这句话是什么意思我没太明白,意思是说AA的C现在比BB的C值钱么?
