I have a question about CDO's from asset backed securities. Below i will provide context to my question with picture. I have no idea how i can calculate losses in different tranches. Below is an example of a mezzanine CDO, how would i go about calculation losses in the tranches?
Assets Are divided between -> senior tranche AAA (80%), Mezzanine tranche BBB(15%), Equity tranche not rated (5%).
Then this BBB mezzanine tranche is divided into: senior tranche AAA (65%), mezzanine tranche BBB (25%), and an equity tranche (10%).
