Structured Finance Resources?

I’m interested in learning a bit about structured finance. For those working in the field, are there any must-read/watch materials that you recommend (could cover anything from jargon to technicals to prereq knowledge)? Thanks in advance

Absolutely, I'm glad you're interested in structured finance! Here are some resources that I recommend:

  1. Advanced Excel Formulas: Excel is a key tool in finance, and having a strong grasp of advanced formulas can really set you apart.

  2. Financial Modeling Resources: Understanding financial modeling is crucial in structured finance. Resources like "What is Financial Modeling?", "Types of Financial Models", and "Financial Modeling Best Practices" can provide a solid foundation.

  3. Interview Questions & Answers: If you're preparing for a job in this field, resources like "101 Investment Banking Interview Questions", "Private Equity Interview Questions", and "Hedge Fund Interview Questions" can be very helpful.

  4. Career Resources: These include "Salary & Compensation Guides", "Job Descriptions", "Designations Guide", "WSO Company Database", "Industry Reports", and "Technical Knowledge Articles".

  5. WSO Community: The forums, events, training bootcamps, videos, podcasts, and finance dictionary can all be great resources for learning and networking.

  6. Templates: Financial Modeling Templates, Word Documents, and Presentations can be very useful for practical application of your knowledge.

Remember, structured finance can be a complex field, but with the right resources and dedication, you can certainly master it!
