## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Excellent Primer on the subject
*by J***M on August 22, 2006*

As a technologist charged with implementing a convertible arbitrage fund, this book was incredibly helpful. By reading it, I learned enough about the strategy and how it works to have intelligent conversations with portfolio managers and analysts and understand what needs to be done to make it work. The book covers the Greeks and why they matter, and gives explanations of the strategies that are easily understood, but whose details are laid out in sufficient depth that the layperson might not be able absorb them all the first time through.The books doesn't, and really can't, get into issues relating to data providers, prime brokers, and other execution-related topics. Yet it does cover almost every permutation of the strategy that you might find currently being implemented by a CA fund.Overall, I think that this book provides an excellent grounding in the strategy, is a very engaging read, and will be a good reference as your understanding of the subject grows.In closing, let me say this: The chapter on the Greeks alone justifies the purchase of this book. I have received questions from people wanting to know how I gained such depth of understanding in convertible/capital structure arbitrage so quickly, and I do not hesitate to hand them this book. (Well, maybe there is some hesitation.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dont buy it if you are not in the trade or profession
*by S***D on October 13, 2004*

I am not saying this is not a good book. In fact, this is by far the best I had come across on Convertible Arbitrage. It's so informative and well written that it should be a handbook for hedge fund professionals or finance professors. However, it's far beyond the comprehension of the investment public who would surely be confused by the vast amount of greek alphabets, financial equations and graphs. Of course, for those affluent readers (time- and money-wise) who want to learn, say, Bearish Tilt Gamma Convertible Hedge, Vega Hedge thru Volatility Swap etc. despite the technicalities and scale issues facing individual investors, it's definitely not a bad bet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Calamos provides perspective and mechanics
*by D***A on August 8, 2004*

I managed a convertible arbitrage portfolio for over 3 years from 1998-2002. When I began managing, the information found in this one book, had to be gathered from many different resources, if it was available at all. I wish this had been available when I first began. This book exposed me to techniques that I have not used before because of my investment mandate. Now I have them in my toolbox if I decide to hunt extra "alpha" for my portfolio.Some of the techniques are only applicable by arbitrageurs that are in foreign markets. Even these are creative and inspire great avenues for further thought. It was while studying these that the thought occurred to me that the book might not be useable by the individual investor unless they are highly unique.There are elements of this book that have the air of "promotion" to it. The first chapter cites the advantages of this technique in concert with other management styles. The returns and other statistics span from publication date back to 1995. 1994 was a profoundly difficult year for convertible arb managers and could possibly weakened Calamos' assertions (to be fair he acknowledges as much at the end of the book). Convertible arbitrage will have difficult comparisons when it operates in an environment of low volatility and rising rates unless all risk (and return) are hedged away.
