The expanding variety of fixed income vehicles, in addition to their increasing intricacy, has generated difficulties for finance managers and investors in determining accurate valuations and analyses. Introduction to Fixed Income Analytics has proven to be today's most complete reference on the subject through its revolutionary insights into the time value of money and its techniques for estimating yield volatility, as well as for analyzing valuations, yield measures, return, risk, and more.

I am software developer who works for a financial services company in which I work with our fixed income asset management group. I may not be the attendant audience for this book but I found a lot of great insight into the meaning and use of the the different fixed income analytics. The examples were very useful. I feel like the coverage of swaps and options was rather lacking but I do not work with those really so I do not need to really understand them. I love how the actual Bloomberg and BondEdge screenshots were used throughout (since the team I work with uses both and there are some what familiar to me). If you are in the business or want to know more about it, this book is better than reading a lot of random Investopedia entries.
