Abstract: This paper begins with a short explanation of what collateralized debt instruments (CDO's) are and how investors might use them. We give detailed descriptions of the waterfall and the binomial expansion technique (BET) first proposed by developed by Moody's. We then test how the model parameters affect the rating of the different tranches of a real contract (a cash flow CDO).

JEL Classification: G19, C19.

Keywords: Collateralised Debt Obligation, BET, Cash flow CDO, Rating Structured deals.
