Description
The Structured Credit Handbook provides a comprehensive introduction to all types of credit-linked financial instruments. This book covers single tranche collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), credit derivatives, and iBoxx indexes, offering in-depth insight and expert advice. Written by experienced practitioners who have participated in the market since its infancy, each chapter introduces a new product and explains its practical applications. The handbook begins with an explanation of single-name default swaps and indexes before moving on to more complex products such as credit options, synthetic tranches, CDOs based on bank loans and asset-backed securities, and CDO-squareds. With this valuable resource, readers will gain a firm understanding of the investment rationale, risks, and rewards associated with CDO investments. The book offers a clear roadmap to today's new credit landscape, free from financial jargon and mathematical complexity.
