Thank you!

alleen maar een idee van wat het zou kunnen zijin
Mogelijk had ze zin als volgt moeten luiden:
"Om daar al je geld kwijt te raken moetEN alle 6 de onderliggende CDO tranches volledige worden AFgeschreven"
Het zou kunnen zijn dat de schrijver alles van financiele- en beursaangelegenheden weet maar het nederlands minder goed beheerst.

Hetgeen overigens - blijkens *zijin* *financiele* en *nederlands* - ook bij mij iets is om een vraagteken bij te zetten.

'weggeschreven' is not the best word that could be used in this context. What is meant is the followintg: all CDO tranches that are subordinate to your investment need to have lost all their collateral (and therefor can not be paid back) before you start losing on your investment. Maybe 'defaulted' is the best word.

: The sentence seems OK. Perhaps Corien's suggestion: "written-off", will suit better.
