Whenever I browse through the business and finance section of a bookshop, it always seems there's such a large selection of items on one subject that it's difficult to know which one to pick, especially if (as I am) one is new to the subject. This book is great for beginners, or anyone who wants to know more about the subject of bonds. It stands out because it's cheap, but also because the topic coverage is comprehensive and also because (as I found out later) the author actually traded bonds in the market and so brings a different insight to the subject. Highly recommended.

Mr Choudhry has put together an excellent introduction to the subject of bonds. Although no subject is covered to a very great extent, there are excellent introductions to all the major topics. There are also introductory chapters on off-balance sheet instruments and risk management. For UK market readers there is a good chapter on the UK gilt market. All in all an excellent introduction to the subject.
Format:Paperback
regarding whether you are familiar with fixed-income markets or a beginner, this book will give you what it takes to understand and trade the bond markets!!
