Fixed-Income Securities: Valuation, Risk Management and Portfolio Strategies

This textbook will be designed for fixed-income securities courses taught on MSc Finance and MBA courses. There is currently no suitable text that offers a 'Hull-type' book for the fixed income student market. This book aims to fill this need. The book will contain numerous worked examples, excel spreadsheets, with a building block approach throughout. A key feature of the book will be coverage of both traditional and alternative investment strategies in the fixed-income market, for example, the book will cover the modern strategies used by fixed-income hedge funds.

• The text will be supported by a set of PowerPoint slides for use by the lecturer
• First textbook designed for students written on fixed-income securities - a growing market
• Contains numerous worked examples throughout
• Includes coverage of important topics often omitted in other books i.e. deriving the zero yield curve, deriving credit spreads, hedging and also covers interest rate and credit derivatives
