From the Inside Flap
One of today's fastest growing investment and risk management mechanisms such as synthetic securitisations and structured products are revolutionizing the financial industry and changing the way banks, institutional investors, and securities traders do business both domestically and globally. While potentially beneficial, these important instruments are complex structures that are often misunderstood and frequently mishandled. This groundbreaking book offers a succinct and focused resource complete with global case studies on how they work, and how best to capitalize on them.

I am intrigued by the reviewer comment below. The review below gives this book one star and says it is no good and is similar to other books out there.
This book is not yet published. So how does the reviewer know what is in it?
As a matter of fact, I am one of the endorsers of this book. So I know what is in it. And it is not like other books, it is infact much superior to them. Here is a list of things described and analysed in Choudhry's book that is not in other books:
1-the iBoxx note and iBoxx CDS
2-the basket TRS used in a synthetic ABCP vehicle, referencing a zero-strike call
3- the single-tranche CDO
4-the multi-SPV credit hybrid CDO
5- synthetic RMBS structures
6-the synthetic repack vehicle using funded credit derivs to transform an existing unfunded unhedged exposure.
The list goes on.
I have no idea why someone would make up a review like the one below, this book is not yet published so the reviewer below is simply making his/her opinions up.
One last thing: I challenge this person to find information on the above by simply trawling the web. He/she knows this info would not be there.
We all of us should at least have the good grace to wait until a book is published, and then read it, before putting in a review.

I like this book because it is up to date and I found it gives the right balance between the 'technical' and 'practitioner' mindset - which is great. He has made some difficult topics more accessible. The examples are good and the new material is very valuable. Thank you.
Format:Hardcover
In "Structured Credit Products", Moorad gives an excellent overview of this diverse topic. He uses a "market practice" approach to give the novice a comprehensive introduction to the area of credit derivatives, including terminology, relationship diagrams, Bloomberg screen references, etc. I would recommend it to anyone who needs exposure to the credit world from an author who is known for his writing in the Fixed-Income arena.

Well written and must have book....
My first job after graduating from university was working for a hedge fund in quite a narrow role. After a year, I decided it was time to leave and broaden my horizons. Read more
