| Abstract: | This paper analyzes the source and magnitude of marketing gains from selling structured debt securities at yields reflecting only their credit ratings (hereafter as: cr-rts.), specifically at yields on equivalently rated corporate bonds. Cr-rts. based on probabilities of default and cr-rts. based on expected default losses are distinguished. It is shown that subdividing a bond issued against given collateral into subordinated tranches can yield significant profits under the hypothesized pricing system. |
