Securitisation has been one of the most exciting developments in fixed-income markets, perfectly illustrating the dynamic and flexible nature of the market itself. The application of securitisation techniques has given rise to "structured finance" securities, which now encompass a wide class of products, each of which deserves separate treatment in its own right.
The Handbook of European Structured Financial Products is the first comprehensive guide to this ever-expanding market. The detailed information contained within these pages is aimed at practitioners--including bankers, insurers, and investors--that have an interest in the structured finance of the European debt market.
Comprising six information-packed sections, The Handbook of European Structured Financial Products introduces you to many of these products--and the concept of securitisation--while providing practical information and in-depth insight on:
- ABS and the various assets classes that have been originated as ABS--credit card ABS, consumer loan ABS, auto loan ABS, and much more
- Whole business securitisation
- Residential and commercial MBS
- Cash and synthetic CDOs
- Structured credit products in the form of credit-linked notes and repackaged transactions
