Download or read book The Handbook of Convertible Bonds written by Jan De Spiegeleer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-07-07 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a complete guide to the pricing and risk management of convertible bond portfolios. Convertible bonds can be complex because they have both equity and debt like features and new market entrants will usually find that they have either a knowledge of fixed income mathematics or of equity derivatives and therefore have no idea how to incorporate credit and equity together into their existing pricing tools. Part I of the book covers the impact that the 2008 credit crunch has had on the markets, it then shows how to build up a convertible bond and introduces the reader to the traditional convertible vocabulary of yield to put, premium, conversion ratio, delta, gamma, vega and parity. The market of stock borrowing and lending will also be covered in detail. Using an intuitive approach based on the Jensen inequality, the authors will also show the advantages of using a hybrid to add value - pre 2008, many investors labelled convertible bonds as 'investing with no downside', there are of course plenty of 2008 examples to prove that they were wrong. The authors then go onto give a complete explanation of the different features that can be embedded in convertible bond. Part II shows readers how to price convertibles. It covers the different parameters used in valuation models: credit spreads, volatility, interest rates and borrow fees and Maturity. Part III covers investment strategies for equity, fixed income and hedge fund investors and includes dynamic hedging and convertible arbitrage. Part IV explains the all important risk management part of the process in detail. This is a highly practical book, all products priced are real world examples and numerical examples are not limited to hypothetical convertibles. It is a must read for anyone wanting to safely get into this highly liquid, high return market.
Download or read book Pricing Convertible Bonds written by Kevin B. Connolly and published by Wiley. This book was released on 1998-10-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Convertible Bonds (CB) market is growing all the time. To date, over one trillion dollars worth of CBs are in circulation. Corporations are finding this source of fund-raising more and more attractive. And for different reasons, the buyers are finding CBs increasingly attractive investment vehicles. There are few works on the subject of pricing convertible bonds. Most books discussing derivative products cover all details of pricing futures and options in minute detail. Convertible bonds and warrants are usually mentioned as an after thought in the latter chapters. This is the first book to address the very complex issue of pricing convertible bonds. Kevin Connolly, Researcher of complex volatility trading for Refco Overseas Ltd. and Lecturer at City University Business School and London Guildhall University, has put together an excellent treatment of pricing convertible bonds, delving into topics such as: * Returns distributions and associated descriptive statistics * Modeling the share price process * The basic convertible bond model * Introducing the complications * Convertible bond sensitivities * Using equity warrant models to price CBs * Refix clauses Fund managers, hedge players/traders, undergraduates and postgraduates will find this book invaluable. Easy to understand software on Microsoft Excel spreadsheets is also supplied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Valuation of Convertible Bonds Convertible Bonds are bonds that are convertible into another security at the option of the holder subject to conditions specified in the indenture, For our paper we will restrict the term 'convertible' to mean exchangeable for 'the common stock of the issuing corporation.' The restriction is not a stringent one: the author in examining publicly traded bonds issued between 1948 and 1963 by companies that are traded on an organized stock exchange (or over the counter) found no bonds which were excluded by that definition. The vast majority of nation-wide traded convertible bonds is not only unsecured, but even subordinated to prior or even after-acquired debt. Deducing from cum hoc to ergo propter hoc this has led many writers to state or hypothesize that one of the reasons, if not the principal one, to attach to the bond the convertibility feature was the necessity to have a sweetener make an otherwise unpalatable instrument acceptable to the investor. The conversion price indicates how many dollars of face value must be given up at conversion for each common share. Occasionally, we find a conversion ratio instead, stating into how many shares one debenture of $1,000. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Valuation and Calibration of Convertible Bonds written by Sanveer Hariparsad and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A convertible bond (CB) is a hybrid security possessing the characteristics of both debt and equity. It gives the holder the right to convert the bond into a pre-specified number of shares (usually by the same issuer of the CB) until maturity of the bond, and may also contain additional features such as callability and putability. CB's along with all hybrid securities are difficult to value due to their uncertain income stream. In this dissertation several convertible bond valuation models are suggested, but with particular attention to the calibration of the underlying inputs into the model and also by taking default risk into account, which is extremely important given the subordination of convertibles. The models range from the basic component models that decompose the CB into a straight bond and an exchange/call option: to more sophisticated ones consisting of stochastic interest rates, default risk, volatility structures, and even some exotics such as exchangeable and inflation-linked convertibles. An important aspect often missed by CB valuation models is the presence of negative convexity for extremely low share prices. As such a credit spread function dependent upon the underlying share price is introduced into the Tsiveriotis and Fernandes, and Hung and Wang models which improve upon the accuracy of the original models. Once a reliable model has been developed it becomes necessary to take advantage of convertible arbitrage trading strategies if they exist. The typical delta hedge, gamma hedge and option strategies that many convertible hedge funds employ are explained including the underlying risks with respect to the Greeks'. Copyright.
