Today's First Comprehensive Guide To Covered Bonds Shows How To Exploit These Proven Financing Tools

NEW YORK, Aug. 3 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Practising Law Institute (PLI), the nation's leading provider of continuing legal education, announces the release of the new Covered Bonds Handbook, the first comprehensive treatise on an important financing alternative that has been popular in Europe for centuries and may soon become prominent in the U.S.

Covered Bonds Handbook shows why covered bonds have been major financial tools in Europe and discusses proposed Congressional legislation that would create a statutory framework for covered bonds that could spur their use in the U.S.

Written by expert contributors from around the world and edited by leading authorities on sophisticated financing techniques, Covered Bonds Handbook spotlights the many benefits of covered bonds, examines their potential advantages over securitization and comparative funding costs, and explains how covered bonds are currently structured in the U.S., Europe, and Canada.

Covered Bonds Handbook shows how covered bonds give issuers the opportunity to diversify their funding sources at competitive rates and provide additional operational flexibility, while offering the transparency that enables investors to assess relevant risks more accurately.

Covered Bonds Handbook features credit rating agency studies and reports, the texts of FDIC Interim and Final Policy Statements on covered bonds, Treasury Department Best Practices for Residential Covered Bonds, UK covered bonds reference materials, and sample U.S. covered bonds documents.

Covered Bonds Handbook is edited by Anna T. Pinedo and James R. Tanenbaum (Morrison & Foerster, New York City). Covered Bonds Handbook is $345 and is available for a 30-day free examination.
