Based on class-tested material, this book is an excellent
introduction to global financial markets. The authors link theory
and real world issues in their coverage of equity, bond and FX
strategies including methods such as chartism, neural networks and
chaos theory. Raising funds in the money markets and via equity and
debt securities, as well as dividend and merger policy provide
further practical illustrations of theoretical ideas. Futures,
options and swaps and their use in speculation, hedging and
arbitrage are also examined.
The authors include a vast array of pedagogy, including chapter objectives summaries; end of chapter exercises; numerous real-world examples and case vignettes; Excel spreadsheets providing simulations for the reader; a glossary of terms; clear, simple and consistent mathematical notation.
