"This is an essential book for any practitioner, researcher or student of securitisation - concise and accurate coverage of the key aspects of securitisation on all the main and secondary markets of the world."--Alexander Batchvarov, Managing Director, International Structured Product Strategy, Merrill Lynch, London. "John Deacon's original book became the leading textbook for those genuinely interested in gaining a profound and detailed understanding of the arcane world of securitisation. The new, updated version confirms John's status as the top writer in this sector. Securitisation has moved on, becoming ever more complex in both its detail and its variety, but John's book never fails to deal with all the intellectual challenges posed, in a clear, logical and comprehensive fashion. A must for all practitioners- - I thoroughly enjoyed it."--Robert Palache, Managing Director, Head of European Infrastructure Finance and Corporate Securitisation, Barclays Capital "Deacon's book is an unparalleled treatise on all aspects of asset securitisation and CDOs and is ideal for use by both experienced market practitioners and by those new to the seemingly ever-expanding world of securitisation. The book comprehensively outlines the various structures encountered, ranging from true sale and future flow financings to synthetics and whole business, addressing not only the framework of the structures but also the regulatory and accounting implications. A must have reference book."--David Newby, Executive Director, ABN AMRO BANK N.V., Head of UK and Irish Securitisation, Head of European Commercial Real Estate Securitisation "John Deacon's experience in seeing a myriad of securitisation structures as an investor, as well as in using securitisation technology to create investment capacity brings a unique, practical perspective to the securitisation market. This book will become fundamental reading for both experienced securitisation professionals and those looking to understand this critical component of the capital markets."--Iain Barbour, Global Head of Securitisation, Commerzbank Securities "This book is one of the most comprehensive pieces covering the asset backed and CDO markets that I have ever read over my 15 years of involvement in the most innovative deals in the European Securitisation market. It provides a great knowledge base and reference point for CFOs, treasurers, investment bankers, lawyers, regulators, rating agencies and other market participants. I would recommend this book to anyone involved in the industry, whether they are new to the market or have 20 years experience."--Andy Clapham, Senior Managing Director, Bear Stearns, Head of European Securitisation &CDOs; voted one of the top 10 Structured Finance professionals of all time in 2002. "This latest edition of John Deacon's book on securitisation once again provides bankers, lawyers and others with an up-to-date analysis of the whole range of securitisation - from simple receivables, through future flow and whole business, to synthetic. In addition to providing core legal analysis (which readers can research in more depth elsewhere if required), the book gives valuable insight into the key business issues that have to be addressed as well as the rationale for particular structures. The country analysis is an especially good starting point in looking at any jurisdiction."--Neil Campbell, Partner, Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP, Head of Securitisation and Structured Finance, Asia-exJapan.
