This question seems to come up everyday, to summarise equities have much smaller margins now and hard to make decent money - with the huge exception of equity derivs - as for new products what do u want to know about specifically?

 

I am probably going to b-school and want to know what type of products to focus learning on (we have a capital markets concentration).

Specifically credit type products. Right now I work with plain CDS and have some exposure to CLN's but wanted to know what the cutting edge stuff is that I should study. (for sales and trading jobs). Specific interests lie in emerging markets and currency.

 

Cervantes,

This coincides with my own interest, but from what I've seen a big push is for structured LCDO (underlying loan cds) and CLOs. I couldn't tell you how to model them, but can say they got a lot of action since there is a slight variation in default correlation and the ability to specialize within sectors. Look at correlation stuff too, for the same reasons. I'm curious about EM (will start a new thread prolly) since i'm about to go into FID trading, and would like to know if that's growing. My guess is the growth in sovereign cds could be fertile ground...
