Credit Derivatives made easy,
By
This review is from: An Introduction to Credit Derivatives (Hardcover)
Excellent and very clear - I have a background in finance but wanted an addtional insight into the world of credit derivatives. Mr Choudhry succeeds in three areas where other writers on finance frequently fall down. He is clear, to the point and practical (eg he frequently refers to relevant bloomberg screens). An unpompous approach to something that could so easily be complex

Great stuff!,
By
This review is from: An Introduction to Credit Derivatives (Hardcover)
As a beginner in this area, I was pleased and relieved quite honestly to find such an open and user friendly treatise on a complex subject. Mr Choudhry as you might imagine given his other works, has mastered a style which renders even the most difficult subject a doddle. A must have for your bookshelf if you are hoping to go into this area.

Watered Down,
By CFO - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: An Introduction to Credit Derivatives (Hardcover)
This book bills itself as an introduction. It is only $44.95 as of this writing, but it isn't worth it. The free J.P. Morgan Credit Derivatives Guide (RISK Publications) handed out at some conferences has as much substance, but also has the virtue of being free. The material in this book is very similar to the free research - too similar - and one can find this much on the web.
While many competing books are more expensive, they have more substance. There are several newly published credit derivatives books to choose from, and I would recommend giving this one a miss. 2 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

Overpriced Paper,
By BenG "BenG" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: An Introduction to Credit Derivatives (Hardcover)
Juvenile pop culture references, an inconsistent "compilation of my notes" writing style, steeped in the jargon of fixed income, weak coverage of similar securities outside of the asset class (EDS vs. vanilla call), and stupifyingly overpriced given its breadth and length. This is really a hard-backed journal paper that should be purchased only with someone else's money.

Excellent introduction,
By Nicolas Roth - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: An Introduction to Credit Derivatives (Hardcover)
This book is a very good introduction to the concept of credit derivatives and how to use them. But don't be mislead, this book does not cover the various modelling & pricing issues but it sticks to the concepts, which makes him the best introductory book available on the topic.
