Produktbeschreibung

The authors provide the reader with an extensive tool set for active and successful management of fixed income portfolios as well as for credits.

Methods applicable for different risk factors - duration, yield curve, basis, volatility and credit management - are illustrated in detail using a top-down and bottom-up approach.
