Fixed Income
Tarek Amyuni

Bonds are tradable instruments (debt securities) which are issued by a borrower to raise capital. They pay either fixed or floating interest, known as the coupon. As interest rates fall, bond prices rise and vice versa". This is the generic definition of a debt instrument. This class will first introduce you to the different existing debt instruments, then teach you their use in the financial markets and finally lead you to the interpretation of the yield curve and its meaning in the financial markets. The class will keep up with weekly reports on the US, European and Japanese bond markets and their implication on the financial markets. Credit derivatives and its pricing mechanism will be presented as a risk hedge instrument.
