Analysing and Interpreting the Yield Curve (Wiley Finance)

Book Description

The yield curve is the defining indicator of the global debt capital markets, and an understanding of it is vital to the smooth running of the economy as a whole. All participants in the market, be they issuers of capital, investors or banking intermediaries, will have a need to estimate, interpret and understand the yield curve. Fund managers that accurately predict the shape and direction of the curve will consistently outperform those that do not.

This groundbreaking new book offers:

An intuitive account of a very important technical subject, cutting through the mathematics to reveal key concepts
Market approaches to enable fund managers to evaluate the current and expected shape of the yield curve
An opportunity for market professionals to have an understanding of the latest analytical techniques.

Written by an experienced market practitioner, this book is a clear and accessible account of an important financial topic.

Excellent Synopsis for an Important and Much Ignored Topic.......2007-01-06

If you ever tried to research yield curves, then you will most likely find yourself reading a paragraph or a chapter in at least two books and / or articles. The author's capacity to summarize different bits of information to allow the reader to digest more efficiently this specfic topic is impressive. The book is primarily for an intremediate or expert fixed income person, but he does a good job in the beginning chapters to teach entry level fixed income people. The fixed income universe is divergent in products from bonds, derivative contracts and structured vehicles and it is people like Moorad Choudhry and his talent to amalgamate subject matter that any financial market person should read. All readers will ascertain a top down view of yield curves and if they need to go down to a granular level (i.e. find another book or article), then Choudhry has prepared the reader not to be lost between two trees in a forest.

Excellent all-in coverage.......2006-01-11

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.

Get this without a doubt!!.......2006-01-11

It is so rare to find an author whose work is aimed at the rank and file of the finance world. Choudhry has excelled himself once again and clearly knows his work. His writing style is quite the most concise yet detailed and also quite convivial. i am quite sure he is an extremely successful person both personally and professionally.

Finally, an excellent book about the Yield Curve.......2004-04-21

There have been so many books about the yield curve, and all of them so mediocre. It is good to finally have one that describes and analyses the curve for everyone - money managers, bankers, investment analysts. Written in the author's trademark accessible style, this book is like nothing out there, highly recommended.

Mediocre.......2004-04-03

There have been so many good books written about the yield curve that it is hard to imagine why this one was written. It is actually very similar, if not remarkably the same, to a couple of other books previously published. If you have the better written books on this subject, there is no need to buy this. If you don't have them, buy them instead.

Customer Reviews:

Very nformative and interesting........1998-03-24

This book is very deceptive in its simplicity. It explains how errors can and do occur. The theme is 'if you know what can go wrong, you can do something about it'. Filled with examples of how simple (and not so simple) mistakes can happen and the sometimes tragic consequences. Excellent reading for managers, engineers and anyone interested in understanding and reducing errors- including the typo in the one line summary.
