- Class Description:
- This course develops the basic framework for valuing fixed income securities. The focus is developing an in-depth understanding of the term structure on interest rates, forward rates, and the principles of fixed income valuation. The course also includes a survey of the Treasury, Corporate, Municipal, and Securitization markets. Course Learning Objectives: The approach is to provide a solid generalized valuation framework, therefore the learning outcomes are not a set of facts, although there are always stylized facts that must be learned, but a way of thinking about relative valuation of cash flows in markets. This course will focus on developing the fundamentals of the valuation of fixed income securities and basic interest rate derivatives, because bond markets provide an excellent introduction to the fundamental skills of valuation that are at the heart of the practice of finance. There will be an emphasis on the theoretical framework of interest rate markets and bond pricing because understanding these fundamentals will serve you well in your future careers. Financial markets are continuously evolving and a solid foundation in the basics of finance theory will never become obsolete. Course Delivery Methods: This course combines lectures, readings, problems and group work to help the student master the material. Most of the learning will occur outside of class as you work through the individual and group assignments and review the material from lectures.
