5.0 out of 5 stars The new bond market learning benchmark, December 10, 2001
This review is from: Bond and Money Markets: Strategy, Trading, Analysis (Securities Institution Professional Reference Series) (Hardcover)
The trainer at a fixed income course I attended recently recommended that we all buy this book. He said "it's expensive but well worth it". He wasn't kidding - this book is worth every penny. I reckon it's set to be the standard reference work for anyone working in the bond and money markets. Since I bought it, everyone in my department has borrowed it at one time or another, to look things up, refresh their memory or learn something new. It's brilliant, and written in a way that is easy to follow. I understood swaps and credit derivatives straight away, and the section on value-at-risk was very accessible. I also found the examples and illustrations very helpful. A great effort. I suspect that it took so long for the author to write that by the time he finished it, chapter 1 was already a few years old, some of the market statistics date from 1998 or 1999. But that's a minor point, this book has everything you would want to know about the markets, and has to be my best purchase on the subject ever. Nice job, well done. Matthew Bartlett, Investment Bank, City of London

5.0 out of 5 stars The only book you need on bonds and derivatives, October 7, 2003
This review is from: Bond and Money Markets: Strategy, Trading, Analysis (Securities Institution Professional Reference Series) (Hardcover)
This is a truly impressive work and a great reference. Even market experts will find something of value here, it takes the reader from first principles to some very complex subjects, all explained in very acccessible fashion. Every topic connected with the debt capital markets is covered, ranging from bonds, interest-rate derivatives, money markets, credit derivatives, yield curve analysis, structured products, CDOs, everything. It is also very well written, like having your own private tutor and market expert delivering a lecture on the markets. It is well worth the money I paid for it, and I recommend it to anyone who needs to know about bonds, derivatives and market analysis. This book is streets ahead of all the competition, no author I have come across, in over 20 years of experience in the markets, comes close to writing like Choudhry does. jrasheed2000@yahoo.co.uk
