An Introduction to Credit Derivatives
By- Moorad Choudhry, Head of Business Treasury in Global Banking and Markets (GBM), Royal Bank of Scotland; Visiting Professor, London Metropolitan University; Senior Fellow, Cass Business School
This introduction to credit derivatives and their markets provides a practitioner's perspective on products and the risks they involve. Expanded and updated to cover crisis-related developments, it employs a succinct style without sacrificing technical details and scientific precision. Its liberal use of Bloomberg screens and new worked examples increase its hands-on practicality, and its new online set of CDS pricing models and other worksheets multiply its uses. The only book that captures the rapidly changing dynamics of the credit derivatives market, "An Introduction to Credit Derivatives" combines qualitative and quantitative content unavailable elsewhere.
