FIASI ads Three New Hall-of-Famers
In 2003 November, the Fixed Income Analysts Society tipped its hat to
three leading lights in the fixed-income arena, inducting Frank J.
Fabozzi, Abner D. Goldstine and Oldrich A. Vasicek into its Hall of
Fame. The eighth annual awards ceremony recognized the trio for their
contributions to the advancement of fixed-income analysis and
portfolio management. Previous Hall of Famers include Martin
Leibowitz, Fischer Black, John C. Bogle and William H. Gross.
Fabozzi, of course, is a name on everyone’s lips. He single-handedly
created and stocked a library of books on fixed-income education
where nothing of the kind existed, helping school many thousands of
individuals in the theory and business of the debt markets. Goldstine
is an innovator in the creation of bond portfolios for investors.
Vasicek is a fixed-income modeler who opened up new avenues in
interest rate derivatives and credit modeling.
