Written by professionals for professionals, Credit Derivative Strategies is an in-depth, comprehensive guide to investing with credit derivatives. Emphasizing real-world applications, the contributors cover three broad topics:

- investment strategies currently used by institutional investors and hedge funds, including ways to find opportunities in relative value, distressed debt, and synthetic collateralized debt obligations (CDOs).

- risk management strategies designed to construct and optimize portfolios containing complex credit derivatives, including up-to-date techniques for evaluating event risk.

- pricing and valuation of credit default swaps, CDOs, and other products, including variations of time-to-default copula models.

These investment, risk management, and pricing strategies will keep experienced derivatives traders ahead of the curve. A special section describing the mechanics of twenty-two credit products will orient those new to the rapidly expanding market of credit derivatives.
