Frankly, I wasn't impressed with previous editions of this book. I thought they were too technical, didn't cover a topic in enough detail, or didn't go deeply enough into structured finance and the exotic product boom of 2002-2012 (CDOs, ABS, CDS, etc.).This current version overcomes those problems and is an excellent survey/intermediate-level text (the best on the market I've seen). It starts from simpler and more basic FI products and quickly goes into more detailed and esoteric ones. The balance between the high-level picture and detail is good. For more detail and advanced math/modelling, you will have to buy more specialized books (say on credit derivatives/KMV models or asset-backed securities modeling). I will be spending much time with this book over the next 6 months. I would highly recommend it along with the Tuckman and Bhansali books for advanced readers.
Fabozzi has edited a surprisingly well written book about bonds. Most chapters are accessible, even for a moderate beginner. I myself came to the book not knowing my CDO's from my CDS, but the book walked through the core concepts slowly and clearly. Absolutely top notch.
Covers a wide breadth of fixed income securities. It will not make you an expert on any one segment, but give a solid start to all fixed income asset segments. This combined with another book on a specific segment would make a great combination.
This is by far Fabozzi's most comprehensive fixed income book. It should satisfy most of your needs. If you own a few other books written by Fabozzi, then this probably won't add much value. He tends to cut and paste sections or even whole chapters across multiple books.
This book is intense, dry, and packed full of excellent info. Try to read this book slowly and gain some amazing insight into the world of fixed income. A must for Finance individuals!
You simply need this book as a reference. Can give you the 30 second "I'm informed" background on just about any fixed income product you can think of!
This book is a classic - it goes into great depth about everything you need to know in fixed incomeAlthough the material is deep and can be dry at times, Fabozzi manages to explain the concepts of fixed income quite clearly and in such a way that they stay in your mind pretty easily; this is true especially for the essential ideas like durationComing from a non-finance (engineering) background i thought that many of the ideas in the book were quite easy to imagine and to connect to physicsGreat book although it is long!
A+ in MBA Fixed Income with this. Using for the CFA exam too. Easy reading and lots of info. A++++
