Description

A concise but comprehensive introduction to fixed income analysis for undergraduate and graduate students.

Offering more concise and less technical coverage of the material featured in the classic text Bond Markets, Analysis, and Strategies, this streamlined book is rightsized for a one-semester fixed-income course. In accessible terms, Frank Fabozzi describes the sectors of the fixed-income market, details how to value fixed-income instruments, and shows how to measure interest rate risk and how to manage a fixed income portfolio. Key concepts are illustrated with extensive examples and exercises, and end-of-chapter questions invite further research. The result is an incisive but approachable introduction to fixed-income analysis for undergraduate finance and business students.

Comprehensive coverage of fixed-income markets Easy-to-understand framing of mathematical concepts accommodates a wide readership with varying levels of mathematical expertise Extensive illustrations and examples animate analytical chapters Written by an expert with deep experience in the asset management industry and the classroom Pragmatic modular structuring of content enables adaptability to different curricula Instructor resources available
