forward CDO tranche

July 8th, 2004, 3:24 pm

Can the default leg of a forward CDO tranche form (t1,t2) be priced by running only one simulation, or you need to compute the value of (0,t1) and (0,t2) and take the difference? I'm assuming the lower strike goes down regardless of when the default occurs, only losses that occured during (t1,t2) would need to be paid.
