Product Description
"This book fills a very important gap in the mindset of the bond structurer and the investor. Often, the two disciplines approach their tasks ignorant of the perspectives of the other side. But successful structuring requires providing the best value to investors in order to compete, and investors who don?t fully understand structuring will not remain investors for long. Highly recommended!"
?Bennett W. Golub
Managing Director, BlackRock, Inc. "An excellent primer on asset securitization, clearly written in plain English and with straightforward mathematical expressions. This book is suitable for both business school students and structured finance market practitioners."
?Joseph Hu, PhD
Managing Director, Structured Finance Ratings
Standard & Poor?s "In their new work Securitization: Structuring and Investment Analysis, Andrew Davidson et al. reinforce their preeminence in the alchemy of mortgage securitization. Anyone involved in mortgages neglects Andy?s work at his peril."
?Richard T. Pratt
Chairman, Richard T. Pratt Associates
Former Chairman, Merrill Lynch Mortgage Corporation "This book provides an insightful and accessible exploration of securitized real estate markets. As such, it provides a valuable service to those active and interested in these burgeoning markets. The authors have done a wonderful job of gracefully integrating a vast and important subject matter. Accordingly, this book also makes for an excellent textbook for those universities offering one or more courses in this rapidly growing field."

For players in securitization who need to know more about structured finance including new securitized markets, this book is a great resource!
 Deceptive and outdated August 20, 2004
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
The title of Davidson's work certainly doesn't lack in aspiration, however, it proves the point that appearances are deceptive! It's disappointing in comprehensive coverage, bar maybe it's narrow scope on MBS. Worse though, statistics and contents are largely outdated. Even though I found a few rare pages worthy of reading, I still can't recommend this book to anyone. There are many superior alternatives in the market.
Terrible for quant July 18, 2004
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is terrible for the quant who wants to learn some technical stuff about MBS and ABS (for example, prepayment model or default model ....). I know the authors are doing business to sell their prepayment model. But I don't think that's the good reason that this book contains nothing more than MBS/ABS overview. If you want market/product overview, maybe this book is the answer.
 Compendium April 11, 2004

This is yet another compendium of contributed works. While this book isn't awful enough for one star, it isn't good enough for three. I woudl have felt more neutral if it said anything new or anything that you can't get from the fixed income research group of an investment bank or trading house for free, such as one right here in Greenwich.
Mortgage Backed Securities March 4, 2004

This wasn't a particularly good overview of the securitization market. It focusses on cash U.S. mortgage backed securities.
