  Collateralized Debt Obligation 101   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The underlying collateral may be static or may be managed by an asset manager who generally has demonstrated experience in managing the asset classes mandated by the transaction.
The securities issued by the CDO are split into rated and unrated classes of bonds and equity, where the rating of each bond class is determined by its position in the priority of payments and other rating criteria.
The CDO equity represents a leveraged investment in the collateral; it has both a higher expected return (assuming of course that the expected return of the underlying return is positive, ie that expected losses are lower than coupon payments) and a higher volatility of return than the underlying assets.
