Product Description
The only comprehensive account of operational risk in securities settlements
Securities Operations focuses on the settlement aspects of a securities transaction. As financial analysts make a greater effort toward quantifying and managing operational risk, they are paying more attention to securities transactions in general and to the settlement phase in particular. While describing the practical issues, this book enumerates the different "back office" related risks potentially encountered throughout the settlement. Simmons also covers more advanced topics such as derivatives, trade compensation, internal allocation of funding costs, and operational performance measurement.

 Do not purchase. There are better books, 2008-03-22
This book is out of date with respect to Securities Operations. Does not covers import topics as Continuous Net Settlement (CNS) or Delivery versus Payment (DvP) in an adequate manner. It felt as though chapter 29 inclusion was the result of trying to address the short comings of the material. This book needs a complete rewrite.
A better book would be "After the Trade is Made" by David Weiss.

Worst Book. Don't waste your money and time, 2006-08-09
Most pathetic book I have ever bought on securities operations. The book is full of tables with little explanation. Very poor presentation. Don't waste your money and time. Better buy 'After the Trade is Made' by David M Weiss.

Excellent!, 2006-07-15
Anything below 5 stars for this book is not fair. This is an excellent reference material, not just a one time read. My regret is that I didn't read it right after it came out.

Absolutely simple and amazing, 2005-09-05
This book has given me an extensive overview of securities operations - the striking feature of this book is its simplicity - concepts have been presented in a very simple manner with day to day illustrations - a must buy for those who want to understand the Capital Markets industry better.
