Book Description
There has been an explosive growth in the number of corporates, investors and financial institutions turning to structured products to achieve cost savings, risk controls and yield enhancements. However, the exact nature, risks and applications of these products and solutions can be complex, and problems arise if the fundamental building blocks and principles are not fully understood. This book explains the most popular products and strategies with a focus on everything beyond vanilla options, dealing with these products in a literate yet accessible manner, giving practical applications and case studies.
A special emphasis on how the client uses the products, with interviews and descriptions of real-life deals means that it will be possible to see how the products are applied in day-to-day situations – the theory is translated into practice.
Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.

Book Description
This book has two themes: Private Banking and investment decisions regarding Structural Financial Products. Dr. Dimitris Chorafas examines in a rigorous way whether structured financial products are advisable investments for retail and institutional investors and, if yes, which risks they entail. As our society becomes increasingly affluent, and state-supported pension schemes find it difficult to survive, a growing number of high net-worth individuals, and families, have become retail investors looking for ways and means to optimize wealth management, and Private Banking deals with these sorts of clients. Private banking also deals with clients that are institutional investors, such as pension funds, mutual funds, and insurance companies, as well as not-for-profits, foundations and companies explicitly set up for wealth management. Both institutional and retail investors are being offered by the banks they work with structured products. Typically, these are securities that provide them with a redemption amount, with may be either with full or partial capital protection, and some type of return. The book examines structured financial products, their polyvalent nature, and the results which could be expected from them.
Return on structural instruments, which are essentially derivatives, is paid in function of a specific investment strategy on selected underlying asset(s). This essentially means on the performance of the underlyings, obtained by asset managers, which may be banks or hedge funds, through purchase or sale of embedded options. But there are risks. Both risk and return from structured products are related to three main issues: the volatility of future value of an underlying, the uncertainty of future events, and the exposure of the product. Every type of investment is subject to market forces, and the more leveraged a portfolio is, the greater will probably be both the assumed risk and the expected reward. The fact that structured financial products appeal, or at least are being marketed, to both retail investors and institutional investors makes the dual approach deliberately chosen in this book most advisable. This book addresses all these issues in a practical manner with numerous case studies and real-world examples drawn from the authors intensive research.
*Because it is based on intensive research, the book is rich in practical examples and case studies
*Addresses the growing trend towards the use of structured financial instruments in private banking
*Thorough treatment of structured financial products that keeps maths to a minimum

Customer Reviews:
Useful book.......2006-01-16
Choudhry has done well in expressing this sometimes difficult subject. Worth the money as ever!
Same Old.......2005-09-02
I bought this on the strength of another review, but was very disappointed. Much of the book is not new, and what is new seems cloned from previous publications. It seems this author puts out a lot of books after reading previously published research. That is reason enough not to pay $70 plus dollars. To add to the injury, the book is not a pleasant read. The writing style is oddly stilted.
Concise and practical.......2004-11-15
In my view, Choudry's new book on credit derivatives and synthetic securization is simply the best book in the market (at the moment). The book is extremely readable, with fantastic examples using many illustrated examples of cash flows and samples of Bloomberg pages. The book targest clearly market practitionars, while it doesn't neglect aspects like pricings of those instruments (you don't need to be a quant to understand the technical part). The author begins with the basics of credit derivatives, it's use in the market, Basel I and II, market size etc. and leads to more and more detailed dicussions of how those new instruments are used (ink. termsheet examples). A huge amount of information comprised in a relatively small book of 400 pages.
Fantastic job Mr. Choudhry. Thank you!

Customer Reviews:
Interesting handbook. Complete and useful.......2005-08-16
Great handbook with easy and straightforward explanations of the main equity and fixed income traditional structures. The models are analysed in great detail with a very rich grasp of maths. It would be useful to have the same analysis for more exotic structures. Credit structures are also missing.
Learn a "new language" to read this book...........2004-11-07
THIS IS NOT ENGLISH. You may have to learn 2spanish-english" to read this book.It is ridicoulous. The technical part is good, but you really need to spend 50 minutes per page in order to understand the translation. It's a pitty because you have good coverage of Equity and Bond-Linked structured notes...with little math. Easy to follow but only the math...BUY THE SPANISH EDITION (if any)...Products like Asian Equity deposits, Digital Ranges, Step-ups, Range Accruals...are covered but with little implementattion guidance for Matlab or Excel code. Formulae is always available...advance users may find it usefull...not much proofs though.
Book Description
In recent years, financial engineering has developed new ways of financing deals based primarily on the capacity of the operations to generate sufficient cash for the repayment of loans or bonds. The business of structured finance has then become an interesting business area for non-financial companies, investment and commercial banks and consultants. In terms of volumes, it shows figures easily comparable to other, more traditional, sources of funding.
This book provides the reader with an analysis of the characteristics of structured finance deals – asset-backed securitization, project finance, structured leasing and leveraged acquisitions – together with updated data on the current state of the international financial markets for these operations.
