Frank J. Fabozzi, Henry A. Davis, ...

Wiley, 2006

Fabozzi is a genius
The examples provided break down every part of structured finance you need to know. Fabozzi must understand the importance of a strong foundation because he lays one out for you in every piece he writes. I have learned more from reading his work than studying finance at school. He takes concepts and applies them to the real world in a way we can understand. His method allows us to think up more ...

Moorad Choudhry

Wiley, 2004

Excellent all-in coverage
This book brings together all related points and saves the practitioner from having to buy 2 or 3 books. It covers bond yield, yield curve estimation and modelling, and then brings it all together in a chapter on relative value trading and yield curve spread trading. An excellent, well-written book that I think all government bond and Eurobond traders and portfolio managers will want to check out.

2 reviews
Moorad Choudhry

Bloomberg Press, 2005

Really good for newbie
By saying newbie, I mean at least you should know some basic terminology like duration, convexity, interest rake risk, etc. It's really for those who have some basic knowledge on fixed income securiteis and want to explore more in depth. I personally read some chapters from Fabozzi's handbook, and feel like it's not very technical oriented and I prefer this one. Haven't finished reading yet, ...

For that purpose the book was useful. For example, it distinguishes between repos, sale/buybacks and secured loans. It has a fairly detailed section on the legal and regulatory aspects of repos written from the UK ...

Excellent introduction
This book is a very good introduction to the concept of credit derivatives and how to use them. But don't be mislead, this book does not cover the various modelling & pricing issues but it sticks to the concepts, which makes him the best introductory book available on the topic.
