From the Inside Flap
Now, Understanding Swaps provides an optimal entry point for financial professionals seeking to master the conceptual and practical intricacies of this complex, highly profitable field. Designed for swap market beginners and experienced pros alike, this practical primer first explains what swaps are and how and why they are traded, then profiles the principal international swaps players. In clear, simple English, it then demonstrates how swaps are priced and quoted, how markets are made by swap dealers and brokers, and how to follow new capital and documentation requirements. For maximum utility, Understanding Swaps breaks down interest rate, currency, commodity, and equity swaps into their essential components. Then, using excellent examples and easy–to–follow diagrams, it graphically illustrates how to combine a number of basic swaps and related instruments to build complex financial structures that can be used to:
- Convert a commercial paper rollover strategy into a fixed debt rate
- Hedge exchange rate risk by converting a floating commodity price in one currency to a fixed price in another
- Convert a financial obligation denominated in one currency into an obligation denominated in any other currency
- Arbitrate capital markets by exploiting subtle price and interest rate discrepancies

Format:Hardcover
I strongly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn about swaps. It provides a comprehensive overview, starting at the very beginning. Many finance books assume a high degree of knowledge. This one assumes the reader has none and builds from there. It's also more readable than many of the existing books on the market.
I enjoyed this book a lot - it gave me enough information to work, with confidence, in the swaps world.
