I believe his books will come to be seen as the definitive guides to the money and capital markets. Choudhry is a true master of his subject in that he understands its complexities, and because his books are highly readable, he is able to reach out and educate a wider audience.” – David Wileman CEO, King & Shaxson Limited “Choudhry has written a comprehensive book on fixed–income markets that will appeal to both seasoned practitioners and novices. He has skillfully combined intuitive rationale with mathematical thoroughness to provide a clear exposition of cutting–edge techniques used in the marketplace. It will give readers a clear and deep understanding of the market in a way that is bound to make it required reading for all serious practitioners.” – Dr. Haris Kessaris Equity Derivatives, KBC Financial Products, London “A broad yet comprehensive outline of the fixed–income market and its derivatives. This book is useful for the starter in the markets as well as the experienced professional and academic researcher.” – Aaron Nematnejad Japanese Equity and Convertible Bond Sales Department, Daiwa Securities “Any reader who is looking to learn more about fixed income––and ensure the knowledge that he gains is applicable to today′s financial markets––should pick up a copy of this book. It is a valuable read for any scholar or practitioner.” – Rod Pienaar Director, Global Investment Bank “Once again a superlative work from Dr. Moorad Choudhry, this time focusing on U.S. instruments and applications. A must–buy for anyone with an interest in fixed–income securities and derivatives.” – Ketul Tanna Market Risk Management Group, JPMorgan Chase, London “Choudhry′s book provides clear and comprehensive coverage of a wide range of concepts and calculations crucial to a practitioner’s understanding of modern fixed–income security markets. Fixed–Income Securities and Derivatives Handbook takes the reader from the basic bond instruments through yield–curve modeling and options and into relatively new fields of credit derivatives and inflation–linked bonds. The examples help to clarify difficult ideas and to demystify some of the complex algebra associated with this area. The book will appeal to many levels of readers, both in the university sector and in financial markets.” – Brian A. Eales Principal Lecturer in Financial Instruments, London Metropolitan University
