Description
Developments In Collateralized Debt Obligations The fastest growing sector of the fixed income market is the market for collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). Fostered by the development of credit default swaps (CDS) on all types of indexes of corporate bonds, emerging market bonds, commercial loans, and structured products, new products are being introduced into this market with incredible speed.
In order to keep up with this dynamic market and its various instruments, you need a guide that provides you with the most up-to-date information available. That's why Douglas Lucas, Laurie Goodman, Frank Fabozzi, and Rebecca Manning have created Developments in Collateralized Debt Obligations.
Filled with in-depth insights regarding new products, like hybrid assets in ABS CDOs and trust preferred CDOs, and detailed discussions on important issues-such as the impact of CDOs on underlying collateral markets-this book will bring you completely up to speed on essential developments in this field.
