Financial law

Front Cover
1 Review
Oxford University Press, Incorporated, 2007 - Law - 654 pages
The traditional financial market sectors of insurance, commercial banking, derivatives, capital markets and asset management are converging in practice, but their analysis is still largely sector-based. Financial Law offers a cross-sectoral, functional approach. It highlights anomalies in the different legal treatment of the respective sectors (suggesting law reform to some, and arbitrage opportunities to others) and identifies key trends.
This book offers an integrated approach to financial law which is both useful and timely, as the markets have been converging for over two decades. Functions traditionally performed in one sector are now undertaken in another, and financial techniques are emerging which combine characteristics of different traditional transaction types. Investment banks increasingly offer new structured products in a range of alternative legal "wrappers." Securitization--particularly in association with credit derivatives--continues to be a dominant force, drawing ever more categories of business into the capital markets.
Innovations such as these have been associated with a high level of legal risk, and the cross-sectoral freedoms offered by deregulation have not been fully exploited. This book presents financial law as a discrete branch of law, to be considered in the round; it will therefore provide the practitioner, scholar or regulator with a complete, unfragmented view of the subject.

More like a Handbook than anything else its well read and practical with key information that is relevant to insurance linked securities esp on swaps.
for example when she talks about swaps and counter parties.If you had followed the fall of Lehman Brothera not only do you start to agree with Soros but you get the legal side of things(Reality),hedge funds made many mistakes when they deposited money with Lehman brothers their wordings.
she does not describe the events on Lehman however by understanding her teachings with these tools you can see it yourself.
Eugene X Nxumalo is studying ACII and Ba Hons in Corporate finance at London Guildhall University(2009-2010.
I recommend this book to Underwritters, Investment Bankers(Structured Finance), Financial Advisers (who advise on large amounts of money) and the Corporate officer/General Manager.
