The Handbook of Credit Portfolio Management will help portfolio managers around the world to master this challenge. The book endeavors
to give honest guidance for portfolio managers actively running a wide range of asset classes. Its focus on credit assets also reflects the fact that
most credit portfolio management (CPM) functions have now been established, and going forward, the main attention of CPM is transaction
driven. The book provides an extensive collection of articles drafted by practitioners and academics engaged in this topic.
However, the handbook is not just intended for credit portfolio managers. It is also a recommended read for senior management and risk managers
in financial institutions so as to master the crises the industry has seen since July 2007. Further, and as the convergence between products
and markets continues, the handbook will be similarly appreciated by relationship managers, hedge fund managers, and asset managers. It will
also help finance officers and regulators to understand many of the aspects a CPM function can have, and as such The Handbook of Credit Portfolio
Management could not come at a more appropriate time.
