Vinod Kothari's book provides the reader with a necessary macro and micro picture of the credit derivatives market. Without an appreciation for each piece of the jigsaw puzzle that is credit derivatives, it is impossible to have an understanding of the whole. This has never been truer than right now in the midst of the greatest financial turmoil in a century. Some blame credit derivatives for either causing or amplifying the crisis; others point out that one of the main tools for fixing the impotency of the banking sector is credit derivatives. To varying degrees, all are correct and therefore few can afford to be connected to the credit markets without a thorough understanding of credit derivatives. Vinod provides a comprehensive picture of the drivers behind the market supplemented by a detailed explanation of why institutions get involved. The extensive product details and the accompanying explanations of legal, regulatory, accounting and operational issues complete the picture and arm the reader well for a foray into this crucial sector of the credit markets.

Credit derivatives have been the most spectacular financial product of the past 15 years. From an obscure product, traded by professional in small amounts, they have transformed into a mammoth product with notional amounts estimated to be about US$60 trillion (up from US$50 billion in 1994). Vinod Kothari's new book explains the products in detail and explores the various trading strategies. It does so in an objective and scientific manner. I highly recommend the book to anyone interested in the topic.
