Customer Reviews
Good but not comprehensive
This is a useful reference for anyone working in the banking industry. However it is not that comprehensive and a number of fairly standards strutures such as CLNs, CDOs, FRODOs, TRSs are not touched on at all. "Credit Derivatives" gets a very broad definition with very few specifics. It may be more appropriate to more traditional banking as it is strong in the area of mortgages, loans, deposits etc, but even here some common terms such as MOR don't get a mention.
Also in this day and age an electronic version with hypertext would be more appropriate - cross referencing is remarkably difficult now that we are all used to the web!
To conclude, the format and content could do with a little modernisation.
Good reference.
Very useful reference for both learners and profesionals
