Credit derivatives are used by countless investors and bankers, but how do they work? "The Credit Derivatives Handbook" is a complete and comprehensive guide to credit derivatives. Seeking to give their readers everything they need to know to masterfully use derivatives in order to maximize profits and efficiency, co-editors Greg N. Gregoriou and Paul Ali have compiled a core instructional guide and body of informed and informative commentary on one of the more complicated of the financial instruments of the late 20th Century. Called one of the most important recent financial innovations, gaining a grasp of the subject is vital for tomorrow's finance world. It also speaks on international opportunities as well, making "The Credit Derivatives Handbook" enthusiastically recommended for those looking for an encyclopedia on the subject and who want a perfect grasp on today's finance -- especially in view of our financial industry's current volatility.
 impressive rigour August 25, 2008

The authors explain credit derivatives with impressive rigour. The book marshals contributions from academics and industry professionals.
One distinguishing aspect is the chapter on Islamic finance. While there have been books on this subject, rarely does it seem discussed in the context of credit derivatives. Yet the contortions necessary to avoid the payment of interest often seems to lead to a financial instrument that can indeed be called a credit derivative. We see how the shifting of ownership and risk, and the decoupling between these, gives rise to derivative structures.
Credit default swaps are also covered in the text. You see their common makeup and how pricing can be determined.
The maths in the book is sophisticated and often necessitates a strong background in maths or the sciences.
