debt obligations (CDOs), collateralized loan obligations (CLOs),

The exploding use of credit derivatives and collateralized debt
obligations (CDOs) has transformed the world of credit, creating an
$18 trillion market almost overnight and resulting in innumerable
investment and career opportunities globally. "The Structured
Credit Handbook" provides the reader with a comprehensive and clear
roadmap to today's new credit landscape. The full spectrum of
structured credit products, from single-name CDS to CDOs, is
explained in a simple, clear fashion that is free from the
financial jargon and mathematical complexity which characterize
many other derivative texts. The handbook begins with an in-depth
explanation of the building blocks of the structured credit
markets, single-name default swaps and indexes, and it culminates
with complex products such as credit options, synthetic tranches,
CDOs based on bank loans and asset-backed securities, and
CDO-squareds.
