About the Book

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.
