    Description of The Handbook of Mortgage-Backed Securities

    A classic of investment literature, The Handbook of Mortgage-Backed Securities provides unparalleled coverage of every aspect of the mortgage-backed securities market. Authoritative and comprehensive, the book explains both the fundamentals and investment characteristics of mortgage-backed securities, as well as state-of-the-art strategies for capitalizing on opportunities.

    The fourth edition of the Handbook is very much a new book. Twenty-seven of the chapters are either new or have been substantially revised. The book fully reflects the recent developments in the market in terms of both product development and financial technology.

    Topics covered in much greater depth in the new edition include: prepayment behavior and modelling; whole-loan CMOs; commercial mortgage-backed securities; and option-adjusted spread analysis. Moreover, sections on stripped mortgage-backed securities, risk management, and taxation have been updated and revised.

    Expertly compiled by Frank J. Fabozzi, the Handbook features contributions from a wide range of experts, most of whom are actively involved in the mortgage-backed securities market. As a result, the Handbook provides readers with a well-rounded, real-world, perspective on this dynamic and multi-faceted market.

    By providing information vital to market participants, previous editions of the Handbook were instrumental in fuelling the growth of the mortgage-backed securities market. The fourth edition of the Handbook contains all the elements that made the three previous editions so successful and continues the book's long tradition of providing cutting-edge information for investors, traders and other market practitioners.
