Fixed Income Instruments and Markets

This course is a comprehensive survey of fixed income instruments and the markets in which the instruments are traded. Participants will learn how to compute yield- and risk measures for government bonds, corporate bonds and mortgage securities. The emphasis is on the development of a 'real-world' toolkit that is directly applicable to everyday tasks performed by fixed income traders, quants and support personnel. The Bloomberg Professional terminal is used extensively in this course. This course is part 2 of the New York Institute of Finance’s Fixed Income Professional Certificate.
