Fixed Income Masterpieces

Book excerpt: "Over the short period of the last three years, fixed income investments in institutional portfolios have increased approximately $500 billion. Despite this enormous and rapid growth, bond traders, portfolio managers, investors, and others often make investment decisions without considering the basic principles that fueled this growth." "Based on his extensive experience in the field, Livingston Douglas gives you the most important and influential contributions by such legends as Henry Kaufman, Martin Leibowitz, and Sidney Homer. The first collection of classics for the bond market, Fixed Income Masterpieces gives you dozens of hard-to-find masterpieces, some written almost 100 years ago, organized into one easy-to-reference source; an historical perspective of the development of fixed income markets so you can make better investment decisions today; and complete coverage of the mechanics of the market, including historical data, mathematics, portfolio management, and indexes, so you have key facts right at your fingertips." "The only resource to give you complete coverage of the development of the bond market, investments, and financial strategies, Fixed Income Masterpieces is an essential addition to the libraries of every player in the bond investing arena, as well as those developing money management operations around the world. Livingston Douglas has done the monumental task of gathering and organizing these timeless writings so you can start benefiting today from the experience of other successful investment professionals."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
