🔪 Tranching
US Capital Private Bank Knowledge Base
📌 Overview
Tranching is a process used in structured finance, particularly in securities like Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) and Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs), where a pool of financial assets is divided into segments or “tranches” that have varying degrees of risk, return, and maturity.
🔍 Key Concepts
| Icon | Concept | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ⚖️ | Risk Segmentation | Different tranches absorb losses in a specific order, protecting senior tranches first. |
| 💰 | Return Variation | Higher-risk tranches offer higher potential returns to compensate for increased risk. |
| ⏳ | Maturity Differences | Tranches can have different maturities, affecting cash flow timing. |
| 🔐 | Credit Enhancement | Senior tranches are often rated higher due to structural protections from subordinate tranches. |
| 📊 | Investor Choice | Allows investors to select tranches that fit their risk tolerance and investment goals. |
⚙️ How Tranching Works

Investors choose tranches based on their risk appetite and desired yield.
