For investors from across the world, UK residential property is seen as one of the best investments available. This is for good reason. It has a track record of delivering strong, stable returns in a way that is relatively easy to understand and implement. The trouble is, the market has changed. The investors of the future value sustainability more than ever before. There is unprecedented and growing demand for Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) investing, now worth $30 trillion in Assets Under Management each year, around a quarter of all professionally managed assets. The traditional goal of profit maximisation is being replaced. Investments must increasingly be profitable as well as sustainable: economically resilient with positive ESG metrics. Yet the UK residential property market - worth over GBP7.5 trillion - is lagging behind. There is very little clear, easily usable guidance for those responsible for a huge proportion of the market: private investors. The positive impacts of sustainable property investing - for profit-motivated investors, people and the planet - could be huge. The financial, environmental and social costs of getting it wrong could be catastrophic. To get this right and to avoid the risks of getting it wrong, it is vital to understand: * What sustainable residential property investing is * What needs to change and * How, on a practical level, you can invest in a way that is both profitable and sustainable. This book draws on expertise from within and beyond real estate, provides a simple framework for updating your approach. It highlights common mistakes and shares advice so that you can avoid them. Ultimately, it's about answering the question of the decade: 'How can I invest profitably with positive impacts?'

Though statistics indicate that trillions of dollars will be transferred to the younger generation in the next 50 years, the recipients of that inherited wealth are unlikely to preserve and pass on their inheritance intact. Faced with this prospect, many families today wonder how to successfully transmit to their progeny their own capacity, connections, compassion, and competency that built the original wealth, so that future generations can enjoy these same advantages, and more.

"The Legacy Family," written by two experts in the field, will provide readers with a roadmap for detailing how to leave family wealth and more importantly, legacy, intact. Readers will learn a variety of skills, from how to articulate a collective vision for the future that can be embraced by all family members to the importance of creating a process so that future generations can help each member shape their own future, while nourishing their close family bonds.

This is must reading for any family that wishes to ensure that their future generations have a solid foundation on which to build successful lives.

"Once I picked it up I did not put it down until I finished . . . What Schwed has done is capture fully—in deceptively clean language—the lunacy at the heart of the investment business."—From the Foreword by Michael Lewis, Bestselling author of Liar's Poker

This hilarious portrait of everyday Wall Street and its denizens rings as true today as it did when it was first published in 1940. Writing with a rare mixture of wry cynicism and bonhomie reminiscent of Mark Twain and H. L. Mencken, Fred Schwed, Jr., skewers everyone including himself in his brilliant send-ups of bankers, brokers, traders, investors, analysts, and hapless customers.

Critical Praise . . .

"How great to have a reissue of a hilarious classic that proves the more things change the more they stay the same. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent."—Michael Bloomberg, President, Bloomberg, LP

". . . one of the funniest books ever written about Wall Street."—Jane Bryant Quinn, The Washington Post

"It's amazing how well Schwed's book is holding up after 55 years. About the only thing that's changed on Wall Street is that computers have replaced pencils and graph paper. Otherwise, the basics are the same. The investor's need to believe somebody is matched by the financial advisor's need to make a nice living. If one of them has to be disappointed, it's bound to be the former."—John Rothchild, Author, A Fool and His Money Financial Columnist, Time magazine

"Where Are the C-C-Customers' Yachts? is a g-g-great read."—Charles Ellis, Managing Partner, Greenwich Associates

"A delightful classic and reminder of excesses past and how little things change."—Bob Farrell, Senior Vice President, Merrill Lynch

Where Are the Customers' Yachts?

"'Wall Street,' reads the sinister old gag, 'is a street with a river at one end and a graveyard at the other.'

This is striking, but incomplete. It omits the kindergarten in the middle, and that's what this book is about." —Fred Schwed, Jr.

Written by Fred Schwed, Jr., a professional trader who had the good sense to get out after losing a bundle in the crash of 1929, this hilarious portrait of Wall Street and its denizens rings as true today as it did when it was first published in 1940. Writing with a rare mixture of wry cynicism and bonhomie reminiscent of Mark Twain and H. L. Mencken, Schwed skewers everyone including himself in his vivid depictions of the bankers, brokers, traders, investors, analysts, and hapless customers.

Just listen to his take on the conservative banker:

The conservative banker is an impressive specimen. In times of stress, when everybody needs money, he strives to avoid lending, but usually makes an exception to the United States government. Likewise, in prosperous times, he is a mighty liberal lender—so liberal that years later unfriendly committees ask him what he thought he was thinking about, and he is unable to remember.

. . . or his witty assessment of technical analysis:

It is the popular feeling on Wall Street that chart readers are pretty occult professionals but that somehow most of them are broke. "If you have the bad taste to ask [one] how it happens that he is broke, he tells you quite ingenuously that he made the all too human error of not believing his own charts."

It's easy to see why, more than a half-century after it first appeared, Where Are the Customers' Yachts? continues to be hailed by market insiders as the funniest and most penetrating send-up of Wall Street ever penned.

Behavioral Finance and Capital Markets - How Psychology Influences Investors and Corporations (Hardcover, New): A. Szyszka Behavioral Finance and Capital Markets - How Psychology Influences Investors and Corporations (Hardcover, New)
A. Szyszka
R4,078 Discovery Miles 40 780 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Behavioral Finance helps investors understand unusual asset prices and empirical observations originating out of capital markets. At its core, this field of study aids investors in navigating complex psychological trappings in market behavior and making smarter investment decisions. Behavioral Finance and Capital Markets reveals the main foundations underpinning neoclassical capital market and asset pricing theory, as filtered through the lens of behavioral finance. Szyszka presents and classifies many of the dynamic arguments being made in the current literature on the topic through the use of a new, ground-breaking methodology termed: the General Behavioral Asset Pricing Model (GBM). GBM describes how asset prices are influenced by various behavioral heuristics and how these prices deviate from fundamental values due to irrational behavior on the part of investors. The connection between psychological factors responsible for irrational behavior and market pricing anomalies is featured extensively throughout the text. Alternative explanations for various theoretical and empirical market puzzles - such as the 2008 U.S. financial crisis - are also discussed in a convincing and interesting manner. The book also provides interesting insights into behavioral aspects of corporate finance.

China has developed a piecemeal pattern of regulating foreign investment since the end of 1970s. The latest law is the Foreign Investment Law (FIL), which became effective on 1 January 2020. The groundbreaking new FIL is well acknowledged for its promises and affirmations pledged to investors, signalling China's eagerness to improve its investment environment and regain momentum for investment growth. This book provides an updated and holistic understanding of the key features of the regulatory regime on foreign investment in China with critical analysis of laws and their implementation. It also examines sensitive and complex legal issues relevant to foreign investment beyond the 2020 FIL and new developments on foreign-related dispute settlement. The book uses cases of success and failure to illustrate the nuances and differences between law and practice regarding foreign investment. Considering China's magnitude in the global economy and the weighty role of the regulatory system on foreign investment in China, this book is of great interest to a wide range of audience including academics in the field of investment law, legal practitioners, policymakers, and master's students in law and in management.

The inventive process is the most important driver of economic growth. Venture capital (VC) funds have contributed a small, but critical, part to the inventive process. VC funds boost the inventive process by selecting a small number of radical ideas out a large flow of ideas and invest in their testing, development and commercialization. They bring together capital from general savings, management capabilities and business experience. When successful, VC-backed companies can contribute substantially to the welfare of society. In this book, VC funds are discussed in the context of macroeconomics, industrial organization, financial intermediation and financial economics. The authors adopt a comprehensive overview to provide clearer insight into the role of VC funds in the capital market and the way they operate.

Bernard Baruch - The Adventures of a Wall Street Legend (Hardcover, New): J. Grant Bernard Baruch - The Adventures of a Wall Street Legend (Hardcover, New)
J. Grant
R1,449 R1,202 Discovery Miles 12 020 Save R247 (17%) Ships in 18 - 22 working days

He was a self-made millionaire and legendary stock trader, a brilliant investor and savvy venture capitalist. He was Bernard M. Baruch, the most famous and admired figure ever to have conquered Wall Street. And when one of the nation's foremost financial writers took on the challenge of capturing Baruch's genius, the result was destined to become a classic: a sophisticated, superbly written biography exploring Baruch's extraordinary career as never before. Now, this stunning republication of James Grant's critically acclaimed Bernard Baruch: The Adventures of a Wall Street Legend celebrates both the Wall Street wizard and the gifted writer who revealed the man behind the myth.

A man of immense charm, who also knew the value of courting the press, Bernard Baruch enjoyed a larger-than-life reputation that rivaled his estimated fortune. Celebrated as "Adviser to Presidents" and "The Park Bench Statesman," he is, perhaps, best remembered as "The Man Who Sold Out Before the Crash" (a feat of economic foresight that, alas, turned out not to be true; for, while his trading expertise enabled him to salvage most of his investments, Baruch did not sell out on the eve of the 1929 Crash).

Yet, as detailed in this fascinating portrait, Baruch's real life was, in actuality, far more intriguing than the myriad stories that would come to be taken as fact. He could appear quite contradictory, changing his views as easily as he bought and sold securities. For instance, why would so shrewd an investor as Bernard Baruch prove reluctant to develop a property like Texasgulf, Inc., after helping to finance it? It was a decision that cost him an opportunity to make as much money as his adoring public always imagined him to have.

Bernard Baruch made his money in the days of free and untaxed markets. As a governor of the New York Stock Exchange, he resisted the Progressive Era demand for government regulation of trading. However, as Chairman of the War Industries Board in 1918, he eagerly embraced a kind of wartime socialism, thereby setting the first American precedent for centralized economic planning. During the 1920s, '30s and '40s, he vehemently opposed America's drift to statism, even as he supported the politicians who had engineered it. He was, in fact, one of the Democratic party's top contributors —until he bitterly broke with President Truman.

James Grant's scrupulous research uncovered a wealth of previously untapped material from the archives of the New York Stock Exchange, unpublished legal documents, Baruch's own trading records, and the early files of Texasgulf. We read startling details of events such as the infamous "peace-note leak" investigation of 1917, in which Baruch was accused of profiting on the unauthorized disclosure of state papers; his controversial career in Washington in 1918 and at the Versailles Peace Conference in 1919; his vital, behind-the-scenes role in the politics of the 1920s. Here, too, is Baruch's curious, often embittered relations with the New Deal, as well as his service as American ambassador to the postwar negotiations to control the atomic bomb.

Masterfully written, Bernard Baruch is a richly rewarding, full-scale biography every bit as compelling, as mesmerizing, as monumental as its legendary subject.

Praise for Bernard baruch

The Adventures of a Wall Street Legend

"Fortunately, the fallible, erratic Baruch of fact that emerges from Grant's book turns out to be more fascinating than the blander one of legend." —Tony Bianco, BusinessWeek

"Grant paints a wonderfully evocative social, geographical, and financial portrait of Wall Street during those early rough and tumble years." —Nancy Boardman, Barron's

"With extraordinary skill, James Grant cuts Baruch down to a human dimension without destroying the myths and the legends. This is a book for anyone who enjoys a good read in biography, in history, in finance, or in politics—or, even better, in all of them combined." —Peter L. Bernstein, author of Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk

"Anyone who reads Bernard Baruch: The Adventures of a Wall Street Legend will discover why James Grant has become our finest narrative historian of money. No one dissects the idiosyncrasies of supply and demand with greater wit and intelligence. While Baruch has had many biographers, none of them have attained Grant's aesthetic sensibility, understanding of finance, or his inability to be more respecting than respectable." —Matthew Winkler, Editor in Chief, Bloomberg Business News

"Similar to Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, only all fact, is James Grant's excellent biography, Bernard Baruch. Not only does it cover such great moments as when Baruch visited the Tacoma suburb of Boston to acquire the copper mill for American Smelting, but all sorts of sophisticated dealings on Wall Street. It also contains Baruch's set of trading tips." —Greg Heberlein, The Seattle Times

"The Quantitative Products Group of Deutsche Bank continues the study of the latest generation of equity derivatives with the same talent as in its previous books. The market has integrated a wide range of new asset classes such as realized volatility, hedge fund strategy, or hybrid structures in fixed income-equity and equity-credit, which are now booming. These hybrid products have also generated new numerical problems both for PDEs or Monte Carlo methods. To offer both a concise presentation of the risk analysis and a comprehensive overview of the pricing and hedging methodology of these complex exotic structures was a great challenge; I must say that I am very impressed by the result."
--Professor Nicole El-Karoui, Ecole Polytechnique Paris

"This is an excellent book on equity hybrid derivatives, written from the practitioner's point of view by a leading quant team. It provides a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art methodologycombined with cutting-edge research in mathematical finance. The book is a most valuable read both for academics and practitioners."

An essential, all-in-one guide to investment banking and valuation, complete with downloadable models - this new edition reflects valuable contributions from Nasdaq and the global law firm Latham & Watkins LLP plus access to the online valuation models and course. The thoroughly revised Third Edition of Investment Banking: Valuation, LBOs, M&A, and IPOs (Book + Valuation Models) delivers the most current discussion of valuation and deal-making fundamentals essential to the work of investment bankers, private equity professionals, hedge fund investors, corporate lawyers, executives, and students. Drawing on over four decades of combined experience in investment banking and investing, authors Joshua Rosenbaum and Joshua Pearl explain how to perform the valuation work and financial analysis at the core of Wall Street - comparable companies, precedent transactions, DCF, LBO, M&A analysis...and now IPO analytics and valuation. Using a step-by-step, how-to approach for each methodology, the authors build a chronological knowledge base and define key terms, financial concepts, and processes throughout the book. Now, over 10 years after the release of the first edition, the book is more relevant and topical than ever. The book has sold over 250,000 copies and is used in over 200 universities globally. It has become a go-to resource for investment banks, private equity, investment firms, and corporations undertaking M&A transactions, LBOs, IPOs, restructurings, and investment decisions. While the fundamentals haven't changed, the environment must adapt to changing market developments and conditions. As a result, Rosenbaum and Pearl have updated their widely-adopted book accordingly, turning the latest edition into a unique and comprehensive training package. The Third Edition includes six downloadable valuation model templates: Comparable Companies Analysis, Precedent Transactions Analysis, Discounted Cash Flow Analysis, Leveraged Buyout Analysis, M&A Analysis, and IPO Valuation, available at www.wiley.com/go/investmentbanking3e.
