More About the Author
Product Description
Review
'Gillian Tett, in her book Fool's Gold, has produced a thorough, journalistic account of the causes of the global financial crisis. This book's strength is as an analytical study of the instruments themselves and ... its aim – to provide a thorough understanding of financial markets – deserves a wide audience. It is not only bankers, regulators and politicians who need to understand the world of complex financial instruments. Journalists and academics also have a duty to comprehend and explain.' - from the Foreword, Vincent Cable, MP for Twickenham& Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader and Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Format:Paperback
There are many books available on capital markets. The thing that usually distingiushes one from another is how accessible its content is.
This book not only provides good content but it makes the content highly accessible. There are loads of examples, diagrams and formula that helped me come to grips with market instruments. The C++ source code provided with the yield curve programme is really helpfull in gaining a practical insight into a yeild curve implementation. If you really want to understand yield curve construction its all there."

Basic

Format:Paperback
This is a basic book that may be good for new people in the market, but professionals will find this lacking.

Poor coverage
24 Feb 2004
Format:Paperback
This is a very introductory book for practitioners who do not know the very basics, such as 'models', 'regression', etc.
The content overlaps with the author's other text Bond Market Securities. Corresponding chapters are identical.
Better alternatives are Jarrow, Hull.

Excellent book for new recruits
24 Jan 2002
Format:Paperback
Because it covers most of the financial instruments that we are dealing on our trading floor, we have decided to offer it as a gift to all new recruits.
It is always difficult for new comers to quickly become knowledgeable about many financial instruments at the same time.
