A comprehensive, in-depth look at global debt capital markets in
the post-crisis world

Fully updated with comprehensive coverage of the post-crisis
debt markets and their impact on key industry issues, Fixed
Income Markets: Management, Trading, and Hedging, Second
Edition offers insights into derivative pricing, cross-currency
hedging, and new liquidity legislation. Written by Choudhry,
Moskovic, and Wong, Fixed Income Markets is an indispensable
read for anyone working in bond markets, interest-rate markets, and
credit derivatives markets looking to better understand today's
debt markets.

This acclaimed book takes a unique look into the leading
practices in bond markets as well as post-credit-crunch impacts on
pricing that are rarely captured in textbooks. The new edition
provides expanded coverage on a wide range of topics within
hedging, derivatives, bonds, rebalancing, and global debt capital
markets. New topics include:

* Dynamic hedging practices and cross-currency hedging

* Collateralized and uncollateralized derivatives, and their
impact on valuation

* Callable bonds, pricing, trading, and regulatory aspects
related to liquidity

* Rebalancing as a method for capturing contingencies and other
complex imbedded risks

As a bonus, the book includes reference information for
statistical concepts and fixed income pricing, as well as a full
glossary and index. Written in Choudhry's usual accessible style,
Fixed Income Markets is a comprehensive and in-depth account
of the global debt capital markets in today's post-crisis
world.
