    5.0 out of 5 stars Got it for new job.
    Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2017
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    I got a non-finance job at a finance company and looking to make a move into a finance role. I had no prior experience and just wading in with very basic knowledge I've accumulated from reading investing books from my local library. This book was suggested to me by a mentor and I'm so glad he did! Book has 9 chapters solely devoted to background to help you build a sold understanding of the fixed income securities sector of the finance world. Currently on chapter 3 and less intimidating than I thought I'd be, especially since it's a 1,700+ page tome! Can't wait to wow my future managers with my new-found knowledge! Wish me luck on my promotion!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A superlative bond book that doubles as a dumbell
    Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2012
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    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.

    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.

    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.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2013
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    This book touches on just about every topic in fixed income analysis. Some of the descriptions of various fixed income securities are more in depth than others - so a little bit of a mixed bag there. While it really needs a whole section on LDI management, overall a pretty helpful and comprehensive fixed income encyclopedia.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Nett, aber veraltet und mit Mängel im Detail.
    Reviewed in Germany on November 17, 2012
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    Das Buch ist - wie der Titel schon sagt - ein klassisches Handbuch. Es gibt zu jedem erdenklichen Fixed-Income Thema einen gut 20 seitigen Aufsatz. Im Summe sind es 71 Kapitel auf 1740 Seiten. Der Herausgeber hat namhafte Experten auf dem jeweiligen Gebiet gewinnen können. Die bisher von mir gelesenen Artikel (man liest so ein Buch nicht mehr von vorne nach hinten durch) waren recht ansprechend geschrieben. Man kann - wenn man etwas Ahnung hat - auch Kreuz und Quer lesen.
    Man kann auf 20 Seiten kein Thema detailliert behandeln. Noch dazu, wenn jedes Kapitel für sich steht und daher Redundanzen unvermeidlich sind. Das trifft auch auf jedes andere Handbuch zu.
    Was mich an diesem Buch stört ist die Tatsache, dass es zwar 2012 erschienen ist, die Autoren es aber nicht wirklich auf den neuesten Stand gebracht haben. Die meisten haben sich offensichtlich damit begnügt, den Originalbeitrag mit minimalen Adaptionen neu zu veröffentlichen. Es wurde das alte Gulasch nur neu aufgewärmt aber nicht frisch gekocht. Man erkennt diesen Umstand an den References. Diese sind selten nach dem Jahr 2000.
    Gute Handbücher gleichen das Problem nicht genügend in die Tiefe gehen zu können durch ein ausführliches "Further Reading" aus. Dieser Abschnitt fehlt in diesem Handbuch überhaupt. Es gibt nur vereinzelt References als Fussnote. Die Autoren zitieren sich dabei meist selbst.
    Ein gutes Handbuch erfordert sehr viel Liebe zum Detail. Das ist mühsam. Diese Mühe haben sich der Herausgeber und die Autoren weitgehend erspart.

    O livro é a bíblia da renda fixa, sem dúvidas. Quanto ao conteúdo não tenha dúvidas que é sensacional. Demorou +- um mês para chegar porque teve que ser encomendado, chegou em ótimas condições, sem problemas. O preço é um pouco salgado, mas para mim valeu a pena.

    Reviewed in Canada on April 14, 2018
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    This is certainly the best book on the topic that I have come across. I would, however, like to comment that the authors are saying that the page numbers have been limited by the binding limit of the book. I would like to point out that this book should be split into three volumes like Wilmott's Quantitative Finance. Then the binding will be perfect and the topics in the book can be properly split up. I completely understand that the cost will rise and so will the price, but it will be a much better production.
