Publisher Comments:

Securitization thoroughly explains the nuances of securitization for the global business market and covers all the issues that market practitioners need to understand. Synthetic securitization and structured products are revolutionizing the financial industry and changing the way banks, institutional investors, and securities traders do business both domestically and globally. Written by a top international trainer and expert on securitization, this book is an ideal resource for investors, bankers, and analysts.

Synopsis:

Securitization is one  of the most important financial instruments of our times. Since its beginnings in the 1970s, it has helped banks and companies raise almost US$7 trillions of dollars globally, revolutionized the financial industry, and changed 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.

Securitization: The Financial Instrument of the Future is a focused resource complete with global case studies on how securitization works, and how best to capitalize on it. It brilliantly brings together the complex array of issues that help,   hinder and affect the securitization business.

The book explains securitization techniques in lucid details and includes: Comprehensive coverage on multi-faceted issues relating to securitization; Easy to understand explanations of complex topics, and International case studies to illustrate different aspects of securitization.

Regardless of the nature of your interest in securitization - as issuer, investor, lawyer, accountant, regulator or analyst, this book will be of value to you.
