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.
- Why is an interest rate swap needed?
- What is the potential return for the subordinate/ equity tranche, assuming no defaults?
- Why will the actual return be less than the return computed?
