In the current scope of economics, the management of client
portfolios has become a considerable problem within financial
institutions due to the amount of risk that goes into assigning
assets. Various algorithmic models exist for solving these
portfolio challenges; however, considerable research is lacking
that further explains these design problems and provides applicable
solutions to these imperative issues. Algorithms for Solving
Financial Portfolio Design Problems: Emerging Research and
Opportunities is a pivotal reference source that provides vital
research on the application of various programming models within
the financial engineering field. While highlighting topics such as
landscape analysis, breaking symmetries, and linear programming,
this publication analyzes the quadratic constraints of current
portfolios and provides algorithmic solutions to maximizing the
full value of these financial sets. This book is ideally designed
for financial strategists, engineers, programmers, mathematicians,
banking professionals, researchers, academicians, and students
seeking current research on recent mathematical advances within
financial engineering.
Exchange-Traded Funds in Europe provides a single point of
reference on a diverse set of regional ETF markets, illuminating
the roles ETFs can play in risk mitigation and speculation.
Combining empirical data with models and case studies, the authors
use diffusion models and panel/country-specific regressions-as well
as graphical and descriptive analyses- to show how ETFs are more
than conventional, passive investments. With new insights on how
ETFs can improve market efficiency and how investors can benefit
when using them as investment tools, this book reveals the
complexity of the world's second largest ETF market and the ways
that ETFs are transforming it.
Lombard Street is Walter Bagehot's famous explanation of the
England central banking system established during the 19th century.
At the time Bagehot wrote, the United Kingdom was at the peak of
its influence. The Bank of England in London, was one of the most
powerful institutions in the world. Working as an economist at the
time, Walter Bagehot sets about explaining how the British
government and the Bank of England interact. Leading on from this,
he explains how the Bank of England and other banks - the
Joint-Stock and Private banking companies - do the business of
finance. Bagehot is not afraid to admit that life at the bank is
usually quite boring, albeit punctuated by short periods of sudden
excitement. The sudden boom of a market, or sudden fluctuations in
the credit system, can create an excited demand for money. The
eruption of an economic depression, which Bagehot aptly notes is
rapidly contagious around different sectors of the economy, can
also make working in the bank a lot less tedious.
