Homework II
 

1) In the article “Credit Default Swaps and Structured Credit: A Primer for Wealth Managers” by Jeffrey T. Prince, CFA, he recognizes five problems that were associated with the collateral that was used to create ABS CDOs. (25 points)
 
a) Name and discuss briefly the five problems associated with the collapse in the ABS CDO market. Note the collapse was due to the very high default rates experienced by ABS CDOs. The five problems or issues are said to be the reason default rates were so high.
 
b) The article also briefly mentions two opposing views as to who, in general, was at fault for the bubble. Please list and briefly describe the two opposing views. Which viewpoint does the author agree with?
 
c) What was, or is, the “Anthos Funding” deal? Describe it in brief terms. What are its unique characteristics? Why is it mentioned in the article by Mr. Prince?
 

2) In class, we constructed a CDO utilizing three bonds. We saw that by utilizing “pooling”, and “prioritizing” default claims, we created securities with attractive characteristics. Essentially, we “re-packaged” existing debt that is “pari passu” into priority claims on the collateral of the pool. The result is, a portion of the issued debt has reduced probability of default and is of higher quality than the collateral of the pool – that securitizes the debt. (75 points)
 
a) Assume you purchase four bonds. Create a CDO and issue four tranches of bonds. Model the pool and display the probabilities of default, the pay-offs, and recovery rates. Calculate the current price of each bond and the YTM. Calculate the total market value of the pool.
