Advanced Bond Portfolio Management

Don't be fooled by the title. This is not an advanced book. It is an edited collection of mostly elementary articles on bond portfolio management. A variety of topics are covered, including trading strategies, benchmarking, yield curve risk, credit risk and modeling. The book targets inexperienced buy-side professionals. Some articles offer nice introductions to topics. Others are more idiosyncratic, proposing non-standard modeling or hedging techniques. [2/6/06]
