Handbook of the Money and Capital Markets is a comprehensive review and analysis of investment instruments and the markets in which they trade. Designed to help investors obtain the best possible return--with the most manageable exposure to risk--from the funds they invest, the book focuses attention not only on traditional investment instruments such as stocks and bonds, Treasury and Ginnie Mae securities, and tax-exempt municipal bonds, but also pays particular attention to new instruments such as universal commercial paper, collateralized mortgage obligations, REMICS, securitized automobile loans, money market preferred funds, and zero-coupon investments. Written for the professional money manager, the corporate treasurer, the financial planner and consultant, as well as the serious private investor, the book clearly illustrates the dynamics of contemporary financial markets with thorough coverage of such topics as recent developments in money and capital markets, selected debt and equity market relationships and concepts, swaps, the bond rating process, adjustable rate mortgages, the underpinnings of basic valuation theory, interest rate spreads and differentials, basic bond portfolio strategies, duration and immunization, both yielding junk bonds, pass-through securities, and insured tax-free bonds.
