While many who invested in the collateralized debt obligations market in the 1990s are bailing out after heavy losses, new players with a less emotional approach are enjoying some attractive gains.

Ron D’Vari is your typical investor in CDOs. Anyone who attended February’s ABS West conference in Phoenix is probably thinking that means D’Vari hates CDOs, or collateralized debt obligations, to give them their rather more cumbersome full title.

But that would make him your typical former investor in CDOs. There are certainly plenty of those around, who have lost heavily on CDOs and given up on the market. D’Vari, on the other hand, is very active in the CDO market, both as an investor and, more recently, a manager of CDOs.
