CDO-Squared
{{Short description|Financial product backed by tranches from other CDOs}}
CDO-Squared is an investment in the form of a special-purpose entity (SPE) with securitization payments backed by collateralized debt obligation tranches. A collateralized debt obligation is a product structured by a bank in which an investor buys a share of a pool of bonds, loans, asset-backed securities, and other credit instruments. Payments resulting from those bonds, loans, asset-backed securities, and other instruments are then passed on to the holders of the shares of the collateralized debt obligation. It is a way to invest in multiple credit instruments and diversify risk.{{cite web|title=CDOs-Squared Demystified |url=https://www.markadelson.com/pubs/CDOs-Squared_Demystified.pdf |publisher=Nomura Fixed Income Research | date=2005 |accessdate=2018-10-04 }}{{Cite web |title=Collateralized Debt Obligation (CDO-Squared) Overview |url=https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cdo2.asp |access-date=2024-11-28 |website=Investopedia |language=en}} These instruments became popular before the 2008 financial crisis. There were 36 CDO-Squared deals made in 2005, 48 in 2006 and 41 in 2007. Merrill Lynch was a big producer, creating and selling 11 of them.The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report, 2011, p.203
The collapse of the market for collateralized debt obligations and CDO-Squared contributed to the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis. Goldman Sachs
appears to be the last bank to hold CDOs-Squared, holding $50 million (~${{Format price|{{Inflation|index=US-GDP|value=50000000|start_year=2018}}}} in {{Inflation/year|US-GDP}}) in June 2018.{{cite web |last1=Woodall |first1=Louie |title=Goldman Sachs is last major bank holding CDO squared | date=2018-10-03 |url=https://www.risk.net/risk-quantum/6002576/goldman-sachs-is-last-major-bank-holding-cdo-squared |website=Risk Quantum}}
