The XVA of Financial Derivatives: CVA, DVA and FVA Explained (Financial Engineering Explained) 1st ed. 2015 Edition

This book provides a good introduction to the topic, but leaves much to be desired. Firstly, the proof readers didn't catch a lot of the spelling mistakes, grammar erros and typos, which really impedes reading. Secondly, the author seems to have a taste for unnecessarily complex formulas, which make even the simplest concepts like CVA sometimes a bit opaque. On the positive side, the book does a competent job of going over most of the ground in a very few pages.

Excelente livro para quem lida com o assunto. Aborda de maneira prática os diversos conceitos referentes ao XVA. Recomendo a todos profissionais do assunto.

This book stands out among the various titles on the subject. The reason is that it reads like it's written by a real practitioner, who knows and understands the challenges first hand. The complexity of the book reflects the complexity of the subject, no more, no less. This is in stark contrast to other titles written by academics, who have probably never set foot inside an investment bank. The only drawback is that the editing is a joke, but this is a consistent problem with mathematical/quantitative finance series of the major publishers such as Palgrave and Wiley.
