I guys,
I have a question regarding CDOs.
Lets say we have a classic CDO /non-synthetic/, which holds a pool of mortgages and passes the cashflow on to the investors. What happens after the first mortgages start to default - how does it affect the payouts to various tranches?
Does it work in the way that first the principal is being paid out to all tranche holders and then, from the rest of the money interest payments are being paid in a waterfall fashion, so that the equity tranche is wiped out only after all other tranches lose interest payments? Or is so that the senior tranches get paid their principal plus interest first and only then the other tranches can get paid?
Thanks.
