Reviews


There is a reason...
... why this book is getting few stars here at amazon. It is absolutely terrible! Read it at school and was tricked to buy it. Among the 40-50 academic books I have read this is the worst. Totally unorganized and so badly written that you believe the book was written as a project in grammar school.

BORING
If you want to waste your money then spend it on Sundaresan.
This book is highly disappointing. If your professor tells you buy it then you can tell him or her to .....
If you want to master fixed income securities, then you only need to purchase one and only one book, namely "Fixed Income Securities: Valuation, Risk Management, and Portfolio Strategies" by Martellini and Priaulet. That's the best book out there.

Much better books out there, Poorly written :(
Only a good book for reference. Difficult to understand author's explaination of analysis of Fixed Income products. Many instances key steps are skipped in problems used for examples. Look for an alternative.

Disappointing
I found this book to be of marginal usefulness. The writing style is not to the point and at times disorganized. The book does not come with spreadsheets despite all the screenshots in the chapters. What good is that? Additionally, it is quite expensive. There are other much better books out there for the same price.

A robust book that covers with breadth and detail
I had the pleasure of taking Professor Sundaresan's Debt Markets course at Columbia. He has tremendous experience in the marketplace. This book does a good job of covering the theory while also covering the practical aspects of the marketplace. One of my complaints is that some topics lacked a step-by-step approach, and you found yourself looking at a huge equation and wondering where it came from.

Hits: Duration, Convexity,Term Structure, Auctions, Treasuries, Corporates, Mortgages.

Misses: Futures, Unsightly 3-dimensional graphs

I also have Fabozzi's Handbook and Fabozzi's Bond Markets, Analysis and Strategies. This book is comparable to the latter.
