While continuing to focus on common mathematical approaches to model credit portfolios, this second edition presents updates on model developments that have occurred since the publication of the best-selling first edition. It contains a new section on multi-period models and discusses recent developments in structured credit. Along with many wor

Written from the perspective of practitioners who apply mathematical concepts to structured credit products, Structured Credit Portfolio Analysis starts with a brief wrap-up on basic concepts of credit risk modeling and then quickly moves on to more advanced topics such as the modeling and evaluation of basket products, credit-linked notes referenced to credit portfolios, collateralized debt obligations, and index tranches. This unique critically acclaimed volume is written in a self-contained style so readers with a basic understanding of probability will have no difficulty following it. In addition, many examples and calculations have been included to keep the discussion close to business applications.

Illustrating mathematical models for structured credit with practical examples, this book presents an introduction to the foundations of structured credit portfolio modeling. It features material on estimation of asset correlations, and benchmark correlations based on securitizations of benchmark portfolios in the market.
