"This is the first comprehensive hands-on introduction to financial engineering. Neftci is enjoyable to read, and finds a natural balance between theory and practice."
- Darrell Duffie, James I. Miller Professor of Finance, The Graduate School of Business, Stanford University

"Neftci's book captures much of the excitement of the recent surge of theoretical and practical work on financial engineering. A variety of readers will be interested in this book, including lay people who are interested in better understanding how financial markets can be used to share and mitigate risks and practicioners who are interested in constructing and valuing new securities."

Review
"Its focus on financial engineering and the actual use of derivative instruments makes Neftci's book an extremely useful complement to the standard introductions to derivative pricing and financial mathematics. The value of the text has been enhanced further by the addition of five chapters on structured products and credit derivatives not present in the first edition."
--Rüdiger Frey, University of Leipzig

"Since its publication in 2004, Neftci's book has become the de facto reference text for financial engineering practitioners and academics. With renewed and extended emphasis on structured products engineering, Neftci keeps the material relevant and up to date for the current state of the financial markets."
--Dan Stefanica, Baruch College
