Abu asked:


I am very interested to know about CDO, collateralized debt obligations and Credit default swaps. Please also tell me how this CDOs are created, who create the CDOs and what benefits CDOs give to its buyers. I would like to know the mechanism behind creation of this derivative. Could you please explain the mechanism through a simple arithmetic?
