I can't bear pollack either – there is a good reason why it is a sustainable fish – but by roasting a first-rate tranche and dumping a ladleful of buttery sea-sweet brown shrimps over the top (£13), the kitchen has taken bland and boring and given it character and interest.
If so, that would begin to make worthless some bonds up to the AA rated tranche, which has been considered safe by most investors.
These deals are monitored by rating agencies, which rate each tranche according to its perceived likelihood of default, from AAA (the best) to C (the worst).Some CDOs, known as "Russian dolls", contain investments in other CDOs, making their monitoring extremely complicated.
In very simplified terms, the deal is structured so 94% of all the investors must be paid back before investors in the tranche rated triple-B-minus gets its money back.

All they needed was that correlation number, and out would come a rating telling them how safe or risky the tranche was.It's a must read.Brad Setser looks at the relationship between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and explains why the former is using the UAE to bail out the latter, rather than doing it directly.
We typically pick two tranches after VQSR, a specific tranche and a sensitive tranche, by examining the behavior of VQSLOD scores of multiple tranches.
