CSOs have become unmanageable, says Fitch

Wednesday, April 1, 2009

Fitch commented today that the ability of CSO managers to trade has been dramatically reduced due to structural constraints, a lack of market liquidity and unprecedented spread widening. It notes that CSO managers have held off from making any trades that would erode surbordination, making a number of CSO virtually unmanageable and exposed to credit events.

The comments are published in an article entitled "Corporate synthetic CDO management in a time of illiquidity".
