First published in 1972, Inside the Yield Book revolutionized the fixed income industry and forever altered the way investors looked at bonds. Over thirty years later, it remains a standard primer and reference among market professionals. Generations of practitioners, investors, and students have relied on its lucid explanations, and readers needing to delve more deeply have found its explication of key mathematical relationships to be unmatched in clarity and ease of application. This edition updates the widely respected classic with a new chapter by Martin L. Leibowitz on present value analysis, and a new foreword by Henry Kaufman, former vice chairman of Salomon Brothers.
Inside the Yield Book explains and makes sense of essential mathematical relationships that are basic to an understanding of bonds, annuities, loans—in fact, any securities and investments that involve compound interest and the determination of present value for future cash flows.
In an era of calculators and computers, some of these important underlying principles are not always grasped thoroughly by market participants. Bond traders, investors, and analysts who want to sharpen their ability to recall and apply these fundamentals will find this book the perfect concise resource. This authoritative work, now significantly expanded, is more instructive, important, and useful than ever for mastering crucial concepts of time, value, and return, and for comprehending how they operate in the world of investment. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Inside the Yield Book: The Classic That Created the Science of Bond Analysis, New Edition (Sidney Homer, Martin L. Leibowitz)
