Growth of Structured Product CDOs

From virtually zero in 1998, the structured product CDO market recorded a volume of about $10 billion in 2000, nearly 10% of the entire CDO market. In 2006, the percentage of structured finance CDOs zoomed to nearly 60% of the total market—out of a total volume of $549 billion, structured finance CDOs added to $312 billion.
