      What is the difference between CLOs and CDOs?Atoms / Icons / plusExpand

      CLOs (Collateralized Loan Obligations) and CDOs (Collateralized Debt Obligations) are both types of structured finance products, but they differ in their underlying assets and risk profiles. CLOs primarily consist of pools of loans, typically senior secured corporate loans, which are considered to have lower risk due to collateral backing. CDOs, on the other hand, are more diverse and can include various debt instruments, making them more complex.

      Is there Liquidity in the Structured Finance Market?Atoms / Icons / plusExpand

      Yes, there is liquidity in the structured finance market and most issuers offer liquidity during the life of the investment. Structured finance instruments, such as CLOs, are often traded in secondary markets, providing investors with opportunities to buy and sell these securities. The level of liquidity can vary depending on the specific type of structured product, market conditions, and investor demand.

      How does the process of securitisation work in structured finance?Atoms / Icons / plusExpand

      Securitisation is a fundamental aspect of structured finance. It involves transforming illiquid assets, such as loans or receivables, into marketable securities. The process starts with a financial institution (the originator) bundling a pool of these assets together. These assets then serve as collateral for the newly created securities. The securities are typically sold to investors, with the cash flows generated from the underlying assets used to pay interest and principal to the investors.
