The Role of Credit Rating Agencies in Responsible Finance (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018): Daniel Cash The Role of Credit Rating Agencies in Responsible Finance (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018)
Daniel Cash
R1,644 Discovery Miles 16 440 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This Palgrave Pivot aims to examine the bourgeoning relationship between the Principles for Responsible Investment and the Credit Rating Industry. Since May of 2016, when the partnership was initially publicised, the PRI have endeavoured to incorporate Credit Rating Agencies into its initiative via its 'ESG in Credit Ratings Initiative', and have been working diligently to find, and create common ground between Credit Rating Agencies and Institutional Investors seeking to be more forward-looking in their investment approaches. However, in recent years the 'Big Two' Credit Rating Agencies - Standard & Poor's and Moody's - have finally received record fines for their conduct in the run-up to the Financial Crisis. There is a need, then, to examine the incorporation of the Credit Rating Agencies into such a progressive initiative. To achieve this objective, this book examines the field of 'responsible investing', the credit rating industry, and the power dynamic that exists between the rating industry, investors, and the PRI (via its 'Initiative').

The Future of the ASEAN Economic Integration (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2016): Kiki Verico The Future of the ASEAN Economic Integration (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2016)
Kiki Verico
R3,561 Discovery Miles 35 610 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Verico discusses the ASEAN economic integration from dual perspectives of time span (trade, investment and finance) and framework (bilateral, sub-regional, regional and regional plus). The work is a comprehensive study of the integration in the wake of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC)'s inauguration in late 2015. Examining various economic agreement levels from the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA), Bilateral Free Trade Agreement (BFTA) and the AEC to financial integration in ASEAN, Verico attempts to envisage the future of ASEAN in completing its regional economic integration from trade to investment and finance. Verico argues that, in the absence of a customs union, ASEAN must utilize the open-regionalism frameworks of the ASEAN Plus One, ASEAN Plus Three, Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership and others in order to shift its economic integration level in this way.

The Investment Performance of Corporate Pension Plans - Why They Do Not Beat the Market Regularly (Hardcover): Steven A.... The Investment Performance of Corporate Pension Plans - Why They Do Not Beat the Market Regularly (Hardcover)
Steven A. Berkowitz, Louis Finney, Dennis Logue
R2,205 Discovery Miles 22 050 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This study examines whether pension plans achieved satisfactory investment results when compared to conventional market indexes. It also covers the impact of factors such as risk, turnover and investment allocation policy on performance. . . . Pension plan managers and accountants who audit or advise them will be most interested in obtaining this book, as will academics doing research on pension plan performance. "Journal of Accountancy"

The authors argue that the principle causes of the poor performance record of pension plan investments are frequent portfolio reallocations and high turnover. They show that these twin strategies act more to incur unnecessary costs than to enhance profits. They proceed to develop a new concept for pension fund diversification, one that will achieve the goals the present strategies have failed to achieve. Must reading for pension fund executives, corporate money managers, and bank trust officers, this book is also a significant addition to the finance and investing curriculum.
