Fixed Income Securities: Valuation, Risk, and Risk Management, 1st Edition

Pietro Veronesi

Description

The deep understanding of the forces that affect the valuation, risk and return of fixed income securities and their derivatives has never been so important. As the world of fixed income securities becomes more complex, anybody who studies fixed income securities must be exposed more directly to this complexity.

This book provides a thorough discussion of these complex securities, the forces affecting their prices, their risks, and of the appropriate risk management practices. Fixed Income Securities, however, provides a methodology, and not a "shopping list" of all the possible interest rate securities ever been invented. It provides instead examples and methodologies that can be applied quite universally, once the basic concepts have been understood.

Features

The basics of fixed income pricing, risk and risk management.

More advanced term structure models that rely on continuous time mathematics.
This book aims at clarifying two important issues:
- First, models have parameters and parameters need data to be estimated.
- Second, models are “just models”, and they are always an incomplete description of a much more complex real world.
All chapters include real-world examples and case studies.
End-of-chapter exercises using real-world data and real-world securities cement the important concepts.
