Description:
Fixed income practitioners need to understand the conceptual
frameworks of their field; to master its quantitative tool-kit; and
to be well-versed in its cash-flow and pricing conventions.
Fixed Income Securities, Third Edition by Bruce Tuckman and
Angel Serrat is designed to balance these three objectives. The
book presents theory without unnecessary abstraction; quantitative
techniques with a minimum of mathematics; and conventions at a
useful level of detail.
The book begins with an overview of global fixed income markets
and continues with the fundamentals, namely, arbitrage pricing,
interest rates, risk metrics, and term structure models to price
contingent claims. Subsequent chapters cover individual markets and
securities: repo, rate and bond forwards and futures, interest rate
and basis swaps, credit markets, fixed income options, and
mortgage-backed-securities.
Fixed Income Securities, Third Edition is full of
examples, applications, and case studies. Practically every
quantitative concept is illustrated through real market data. This
practice-oriented approach makes the book particularly useful for
the working professional.
This third edition is a considerable revision and expansion of
the second. Most examples have been updated. The chapters on fixed
income options and mortgage-backed securities have been
considerably expanded to include a broader range of securities and
valuation methodologies. Also, three new chapters have been added:
the global overview of fixed income markets; a chapter on corporate
bonds and credit default swaps; and a chapter on discounting with
bases, which is the founda
