New York, September 22, 2003-Andrew Davidson's latest book, Securitization: Structuring and Investment Analysis has just been released from John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Mr. Davidson, president of Andrew Davidson & Co., Inc., collaborated with co-writers Anthony Sanders, Professor of Finance at Ohio State University, Lan-Ling Wolff, head of Fredell & Co. Structured Finance in London and Anne Ching, senior consultant at Andrew Davidson & Co., Inc., to create a single, comprehensive work that fully details how financial instruments can be securitized, structured, analyzed and valued. Securitization: Structuring and Investment Analysis has already been dubbed by industry insiders as the road map to guide the investor into the world of securitization.

"An excellent primer on asset securitization, clearly written in plain English and with straightforward mathematical expressions. This book is suitable for both business school students and structured finance market practitioners." --Joseph Hu, PhD, Managing Director, Structured Finance Ratings, Standard & Poor’s

"This book fills a very important gap in the mindset of the bond structurer and the investor. Often, the two disciplines approach their tasks ignorant of the perspectives of the other side. But successful structuring requires providing the best value to investors in order to compete, and investors who don’t fully understand structuring will not remain investors for long. Highly recommended!" --Bennett W. Golub, Managing Director, BlackRock, Inc.

"This book is a "must read" for those interested in the securitization market. While most literature on this topic address only the vast and mature U.S. market, this book has a section devoted to the burgeoning European market. It aptly compares and contrasts the two markets and provides potential investors and issuers a grounding in the pitfalls and rewards of this rapidly changing market."--Trevor Pothecary, Group Chief Executive, Mortgages plc the All Status Lender.
