Based on your experience, what makes an investment in asset-backed securities lucrative?
The basic value in asset-backed securities, including collateralised debt obligations and collateralised
loan obligations, is derived from the ability to tranche the capital structure tranactions, from AAA to

risk profiles. As a result asset-backed securities achieve a higher yield at any given rating level than
traditional fixed income securities.
Skilled fund managers go a step further as they are capable of identifying and exploiting relative
value opportunities prevalent in the asset-backed security market. These can be very profitable and
are caused by: supply/demand imbalances, complexity premiums, rating agency inconsistencies, etc
