Críticas:

Bond Market Securities - an essential treatise I am no rocket scientist, therefore, I held many misconceived assumptions that I would have to rush out and qualify to be such a creature before I could even pick up this book. How wrong I was, and I promise you I am still not a rocket scientist, but a far superior practitioner of the bonds market. This book is a concise and accessible introduction to the diverse range of instruments that trade in the debt capital markets today. It begins with an introduction to conventional bonds and their analyses before considering the more complex techniques used in the analysis and valuation of structured products. Readers will gain from a succinct synopsis of the mathematics of spot and forward rates and an introduction to modelling the yield curve. Furthermore, uses and applications of option-adjusted spread analysis, and the analysis of index-linked bonds. No prior advanced mathematics knowledge is assumed because the author aims to put you at your ease with this subject. This is very successful and I feel confident that I can implement theoretically and practically what I have learned. Bravo! Jolyon Wagg of Henry Marshall Securities states " in my opinion Mr Choudhry is the premier exponent of bond market instruction today." I agree, and add this one to your bookshelf. Srikant Guruswamy Divendra PhD, Heinz Schuster und Funkelmann "Bond Market Securities is accessible to both scholars and practitioners, but sacrifices little in quantitative rigour or institutional detail. It will be added to my graduate reading lists..." Professor Steve Satchell, Faculty of Economics and Politics, Cambridge University "In bond markets it is easy to overcomplicate things with too much jargon, too many technical terms and too many long mathematical formulae. Moorad's book brings refreshing clarity to the subject, helping show how (and why) these markets really work." Peter Matthews, Senior Credit Trader and Head of FRN Trading, ABN Amro Bank NV "Moorad is a rare combination - technically and intellectually brilliant and blessed with the personality and ability to communicate effectively with the rest of us. He has the ability to demystify the seemingly most complex concepts and an enthusiasm for his subject that shines through his writing and captures the reader's interest." Martin Barber, Partner, KPMG Consulting
