In recent years, financial engineering has developed new ways of financing deals based primarily on the capacity of the operations to generate sufficient cash for the repayment of loans or bonds. This clearly structured book provides the reader with an analysis of the characteristics of structured finance deals, asset-backed securitization, project finance, structured leasing and leveraged acquisitions. As the first comprehensive book on all structured finance products, it also gives updated data on the current state of the international financial markets for these operations.
