Fixed Income Securities

The book deals exhaustively with pricing and risk management issues pertaining to fixed income products. At the appropriate points, extensive computational problems, wherever possible with the help of Excel, have been clearly demonstrated. To aid beginners, the book commences with a focus on the time value of money, which is a sine qua non for the study of the subject. The book concludes with a study of bonds with embedded options, such as floating rate bonds, callable and putable bonds, and convertible bonds. Interest rate derivatives are not covered in this book, and the readers are advised to study textbooks on financial derivatives, which deal exhaustively with the subject.
