kalps 'Wrap' refers to insurance
DariSH So, I and II are actually the same
Roman91 DariSH, I and II are not exactly the same. Insurer can default just as much as issuer of debt security; therefore, there is SOMEONE out there who will guarantee that insurer will pay you in the case if issuer defaults. So WRAP essentially refers to an additional layer of protection for debt holder.
