Synthetic CDO

 

A synthetic CDO (Collateralized Debt Obligation) is a complex financial product that provides exposure to the credit risk of underlying assets—such as mortgages or corporate bonds—without owning them. Instead of holding physical cash assets, it uses derivatives, primarily Credit Default Swaps (CDSs), to replicate the cash flows of a traditional CDO, allowing investors to bet on the performance of debt.
