Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs)

$279.00/learner

From asset-backed securities to credit-linked notes, our securitization courses are designed to include all aspects of securitization. Securitization is the process through which loans or debts are pooled together to create a new debt security. Although corporate debt is typically an IOU, by which the issuer agrees to pay interest in addition to repaying the principal amount borrowed, the note created in the securitization process relies on the underlying loans used in the pooling process to pay interest and repay debt.

Product Information

Description

Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) are securitized pools of leveraged bank loans. The underlying loans are generally made to companies that are below investment grade. Given their low credit quality of the collateral, how do some of the classes receive investment grade ratings? How has the coronavirus impacted the health of these loans? What impact do so-called “cov-lite” terms have on these deals? These questions and others are explored in this virtual training. Pre-sale reports from actual deals are utilized to illustrate how different managers structure CLOs to capture “deal arbs.” The benefits and risks of refinancing entire structures with embedded call features are also assessed.
