Customer Reviews

Excellent review

I find Satyajit Das's books to be quite comprehensive. Indeed, the material is encyclopedic in its coverage of swaps, derivatives and other structured products. Mr. Das provides original source material on swap structures and paces the reader through difficult material with ease. Anybody who is willing to spend the time will find the material well written from structurer, marketer and client perspectives. This makes it very useful for trading desks of investment banks and hedge funds. The level of detail may appear daunting at first but is necessary to acquire knowledge in this specialized field. I have bought most of his books including the current boxed set of 4 books that covers newer areas of credit and interest rate derivatives, and structured products. I am therefore at a loss to see where one of the reviewers has given him a poor rating which I feel is wholly undeserved! I'd encourage Mr. Das to continue his prolific output as it serves a real need in the investment community.

Comprehensive coverage

This is a very comprehensive book on this subject. Covers all the aspects of Swaps and related issues. Although, some isues like BIS guidelines are changed since the last publication of this book, it gives good idea of the regulatory and taxation issues of swaps & other related derivatives. This book can be used as a reference in this field. (not for first time reader of this topic)
