Description
The 1990 edition of the Handbook of U.S. Government and Federal Agency Securities commonly referred to on the Street as "The Pink Book"-marks the continuation of a publishing tradition begun in 1922 when First Boston initially provided information on the activities, instruments and institutions of the U.S. Government securities markets. As a result of First Boston's diligence, investors and market participants alike have come to depend on "The Pink Book" as the up-to-date and detailed ready-reference to U.S. Government securities.
This bi-annual review is the definitive source, offering investors a complete overview and analysis, including a description of the agencies and their securities as well as myriad details, facts and figures not available in any other single source.
Loaded with tables, graphs and charts, the Handbook's comprehensive coverage includes marketable and non-marketable securities of government-sponsored enterprises, such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae; securities of federal agencies, including HUD and SBA; securities of quasi-government institutions such as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank; and money market instruments such as Bankers' Acceрtances and Certificates of Deposit. The text covers the futures and options markets for government securities, Federal Reserve open market operations, federal taxation of government securities and much more.
