Course Description:
'' Compared to the early 1980s when the fixed income market was comprised of bonds and simple structures, today the market is comprised of more complex bond structures with embedded options that make bond valuation more difficult. The markets for fixed income securities represent important business and investment opportunities for insurance companies, investment banks, other financial institutions and non-financial corporations.
With increased volatility of interest rates, investors must understand the techniques for valuing these securities and how other derivative securities in the markets can be used to manage interest rate risk of fixed income portfolios. The objective of this course will be to equip students with principles and tools which allow them to tackle realistic valuation of fixed income securities and risk management of bond portfolios.
