Deal: Apollo CCO

Deal: Apollo CCO

Structurer: Barclays Capital

Date Announced: December 7 2004

Barclays Capital issued the first collateralized commodity obligation (CCO) last month, providing fixed-income investors with access to commodities as an asset class. Historically, collateralized debt obligations (CDO) have used bonds, loans or credit default swaps as the underlying asset. This variant uses derivatives technology to create a debt-style pay-off for a different asset class, giving investors exposure to a basket of commodities in an established fixed-income format.
