Description
This course offers a focused introduction to the mathematical concepts that underpin fixed-income analysis. Learners start with essential principles and progress to advanced topics, including series, derivatives, and key financial functions. The program covers major fixed-income instruments, such as zero-coupon bonds, annuities, and amortizing securities, and explains their valuation and practical uses.
Participants gain a solid understanding of interest rate behavior, yield measures, bond pricing, duration, and convexity, enabling them to interpret market movements and make informed investment decisions.
The curriculum includes two structured modules:
-
Fixed Income & Its Mathematics: A deep dive into pricing, yield calculations, duration, and convexity.
-
Business Mathematics – Fixed Income Mathematics Essentials: A clear overview of interest rates, bond pricing, and core quantitative tools.
By the end of the course, learners develop the analytical skills required to navigate the fixed-income market with confidence.
