Hello, I have read many articles here about using base correlation to price Index tranches. If one was pricing an off-the run tranche does one simply apply a linear interpolation off the correlation skew? I have been hearing that process is incorrect and that further calculation needs to be performed to obtain a correct measure of correlation at the given attachment/detachment. Would someone be able to give me some more insight into this please if possible? Cheers.
