Fixed-income Investment brings you the recent research about fixed-income securities, including advances in investment technologies. Managers of investment portfolios and asset/liability managers will find these insights invaluable in today's volatile investment climate. Here is a probing look of the latest risk valuation and analysis techniques, including stochastic models of prepayments along interest rate paths, decomposition of option-embedded securities into their "primitive" parts, a consistent framework for evaluating corporate debt and equity. Fixed-income Investment also examines new approaches to structured portfolio management, including how pathwise immunization helps standardize the behavior of portfolios under different interest-rate scenarios, bond dynamic hedging using a return attribution system, optimization techniques combined with stochastic horizon analysis and more.
