CDO model: Finite Homogeneous Pool Model by Domenico Picone of Dresdner Kleinwort,

Andrea Loddo of Dresdner Kleinwort September 2008 Abstract: Finite, homogeneous pool model: - After having released the Large Homogenous Pool Model in the first part of our series, we now move towards the Finite Homogenous Pool model.
- Given the simplified assumptions behind this model, it is not a pricing tool for CDO tranches but instead is the first step to allow the user to appreciate the impact of key parameters such as correlation, recovery and spread on the value of a specific tranche.
- Additionally, as the pool is considered to have a finite and identical number of obligors, aspects such as idiosyncratic risk are not specifically treated. We will relax and analyse these points in the upcoming models.
