Fitch Ratings has amended its 'Global Criteria for Cash Flow Analysis in CDOs' to include all CDO types. The report, which was published on Nov.
9, 2009, replaces a report originally published on April 30, 2008. The original 2008 report stated that it did not cover Fitch's approach to rating collateralised debt obligations (CDOs) of structured finance securities, trust preferred
securities or commercial real estate loan CDOs. The amended report includes a new paragraph that describes that these criteria do indeed cover these additional asset classes. The core criteria have not changed.
To reflect this amendment, the report title has been updated to expand the coverage of these criteria to all CDOs, from just corporate CDOs.
Also, the list of related research has been updated to include those titles published since the date of the original report.
The amended report is available at ' www.fitchratings.com :
' under the following headers.
Structured Finance >> Structured Credit >> Criteria Reports
