Credit Derivative Strategies: New Thinking on Managing Risk and Return (Bloomberg Financial) Review
simply read the upper right corner of the cover "I recommend it highly" - Darrell Duffie, you should know this is THE book you can't miss.I disagree with the comment below. This book is more about credit strategies and how to assess and manage risk beyond traditional "market risk" practice. It only spends last two chapters at the end talking about CDS and CDO pricing. Frankly, no model is perfect, event classic Black-Scholes is flawed. Demanding and implementing a "right" model doesn't make sense at all. Instead, focusing on the strategy itself and fully understanding the fundamental risk you are buying are the way to go. However, in reality, you will be surprised on how many HEADs of risk management on the Street don't really know the risk they are exposed to. One trader said to me: I'd be fire if those guys know exactly what I'm doing.
This book does its job providing meaningful risk management insights.
