About this title

Synopsis

This comprehensive new book explains and clarifies the essential building blocks underlying the pricing and risk analysis of fixed-income securities and derivatives - using mathematics lightly, to make things easier, not harder. The emphasis throughout is on how-to-do, on building operational knowledge from the ground up. There are more than 300 examples and exhibits based on current market data. You will find essential information on:
* The global money market
* Foreign exchange transaction and foreign exchange derivatives
* Bonds and zero coupon bonds - including a risk management-driven discussion of duration and convexity
* Interest rate swaps, currency swaps, and exchange-traded futures
* Stochastic models and option pricing
* Stochastic models of the yield curve
