Your Question:

Consider the following basic $150 million CDO structure with the coupon rate to be offered at the time of issuance as shown:

 

Assume the following:

  • The collateral consists of bonds that all mature in 10 years.
  • The coupon rate for every bond is the 10-year Treasury rate plus 300 basis points.
  • The collateral manager enters into an interest rate swap agreement with another party with a notional amount of $100 million.
  • In the interest rate swap the collateral manager agrees to pay a fixed rate each year equal to the 10-year Treasury rate plus 100 basis points and receive LIBOR.
  1. Why is an interest rate swap needed?
  2. What is the potential return for the subordinate/ equity tranche, assuming no defaults?
  3. Why will the actual return be less than the return computed?
