Debt Obligations & Structured Finance: New Developments
in Cash and Synthetic Securitization,
John Wiley & Sons, 2003, by Janet Tavakoli. Currently
the global bestseller in the field.
Jack Caouette, Vice Chairman MBIA Insurance Corporation
“Caveat Emptor! Never before in
the history of finance has this warning been more appropriate.
With the development of CDO’s, Credit Derivatives
and other esoteric structured finance techniques, market
participants—the savvy as well as the novice—are
exposed to a bewildering array of new ideas, concepts and
structures. Janet Tavakoli has tackled these subjects in
an outstanding mixture of exposition, mathematics and skepticism.
A must read for anyone who plans to play in these markets.” |
