Mezzanine CDO Tranche

From Open Risk Manual

Definition

Mezzanine CDO Tranche. The tranche between senior and subordinated. Mezzanine tranches of a CDO issue are typically rated B to BBB.

If there are defaults or the CDO's collateral otherwise underperforms, scheduled payments to mezzanine tranches take precedence over those to subordinated/equity tranches.
