collateralized debt obligation FAQ
Collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) are a type of structured asset-backed security (ABS) whose value and payments are derived from a portfolio of fixed-income underlying assets. CDOs securities are split into different risk classes, or tranches, whereby
The short answer: CDOs are bonds whose principal is backed by a bunch of other debt such as a pool of mortgages, car loans, credit car balances, etc. The interest a buyer of these CDOs receives is based on the interest paid by the underlying debt.
Usually something like your IRA, real estate, your car, etc.
OK, lets say 3 people, 1 rich, 1 middle class, and 1 poor, each borrow 100,000 to buy a home.
This is called a mortgage, and suppose each person agrees to pay the bank $1000 a month for the next 10 years (1000*12*10 = 120,000).

TEXT-S&P on US synthetic CDOs after month-end review
OVERVIEW -- We placed our ratings on 16 tranches from 15 synthetic CDO transactions on CreditWatch positive. -- We placed our ratings on four tranches from three synthetic CDO transactions on CreditWatch negative. -- We affirmed our ratings on three tranches from two synthetic CDO transactions and removed them from CreditWatch with negative implications. NEW YORK (Standard & Poor's) Feb. 21, 2012--Standard & Poor's Ratings Services today placed its ratings on 16 tranches from 15 corporate-backed synthetic collateralized debt obligation (CDO) transactions on CreditWatch positive. At the same time, we placed our ratings on three tranches from two synthetic CDO transactions backed by commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and one tranche from one corporate-backed synthetic CDO transaction on CreditWatch negative. In addition, we affirmed our ratings on three tranches from two corporate-backed synthetic CDO transactions and removed them from CreditWatch negative. The rating actions followed our monthly review of U.S. synthetic CDO transactions (see list). The CreditWatch positive placements reflect seasoning of the transactions, rating stability of the obligors in the underlying reference portfolios over the past few months, and synthetic rated overcollateralization (SROC) ratios that increased above 100% at the next highest rating level. The CreditWatch negative placements reflect negative rating migration in the respective portfolios and SROC ratios that fell below 100% as of the January month-end run. The rating affirmations reflect overall stabilization of the credit quality of the underlying reference portfolio and SROC ratios that increased to or above 100%.
