Leverage Stacked on Leverage

杠杆上面,还可以再放杠杆

Modern finance is a machine built from layer upon layer of leverage.

This chapter is an outline for now. The book is written in public: the full text, stories and cases will be added to this page, at this same address.

Chapter summary

Behind real estate sits a mortgage; mortgages are securitised; securities become collateral; funds borrow and derivatives magnify their exposure; companies borrow, and so do their shareholders; insurance assets become collateral too.

Modern finance is, at heart, an enormous machine built from countless layers of leverage.
