Interest Rate Risk Modeling
Unlike other books in fixed-income valuation, which are either too rig-
orous but mathematically demanding, or easy-to-read but lacking in impor-
tant details, our goal is to provide readability with sufficient rigor. In the
first book, we give a basic introduction to various fixed-income securities
and their derivatives. The principal focus of this book is on measuring and
managing interest rate risk arising from general nonparallel rate changes in
the term structure of interest rates. This book covers five types of interest
rate risk models in the fixed-income literature. These models can be applied
in a variety of contexts by financial institutions ranging from commercial
banks to fixed-income hedge funds. These institutions can design and exe-
cute strategies that range from simplest duration-based hedging to the more
sophisticated immunization or speculative yield-curve programs, based on
multiple risk measures with off-balance sheet positions in swaps, interest
rate options, and interest rate futures.
