Active fixed income and credit management

the long version

"Good bond portfolio management is not just focused on one question - maturity/duration - and not just based on qualitative analysis. Smart portfolio managers spend most of their time on spread trades and often hedge away market directional risk. Moreover decisions are increasingly quantitatively based.". "Active Fixed Income and Credit Management covers key trades and tools for their analysis. The book also recognizes the growing significance of derivative contracts and credit diversification to bond investors."--BOOK JACKET.
