Abstract

The fair valuation of complex financial products for credit risk transfer (CRT) can provide a good basis for sustained growth of these markets and their recovery after the current financial crisis. Therefore, the risks of these structured credit securities (such as Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDO) and Credit Default Swap-Index tranches) have to be known as well as the investor’s current risk aversion.

We thank Mr. Dr. Liebig and Mrs. Mrasek (Deutsche Bundesbank) as well as Mr. Gruber, Mr. Fuechsl and Mrs. Hu (Bayerische Landesbank) for providing the data sets within a research cooperation.
