Description: "Subprime Mortgage Credit Derivatives offers readers the best strategies and risk management tools for dealing with today's growing and currently volatile subprime mortgage credit derivatives market. The authors examine the factors that determine default and prepayment risk, and in the process outline the origins of the current subprime crisis. They look at how the three forms of subprime mortgage risk-cash, single name ABCDS, and the ABX-differ and what drives their relative spreads. And they examine the salient features of the excess spread/overcollateralization structure used on most subprime securities since 1998, showing how even a small change in the prepayment rate or default rate can cause a major shift in cash flows, which in turn can have a major impact on valuations."--BOOK JACKET.
