J.P. Morgan BISTRO Invented by JP Morgan “ Primary product of the credit bubble” (Spiegel, 16 November 2008)
J.P. Morgan‘s Product From JP Morgan's website: "JP Morgan's BISTRO product is a synthetic CLO [collateralized loan obligation] where risk transfer is achieved via a credit default swap on a large portfolio of reference entities rather than through a sale of the specific assets. This allows banks to buy credit protection to mimic the regulatory capital treatment of a traditional securitization while preserving its competitive funding advantage. Specifically, an originating bank buys protection from JP Morgan on a portfolio of exposures via a portfolio credit default swap and JP Morgan, in turn, purchases protection on the same portfolio from the BISTRO SPV [special purpose vehicle]. The originating bank provides credit enhancement through retention of the first loss risk. The BISTRO SPV is collateralized with government securities that it funds through the issuance of notes, whose notional is substantially smaller than the notional of the reference portfolio. The BISTRO Notes are credit-tranched and sold into the capital markets."  Source: http://www.safehaven.com/article-502.htm
