Technological, economic, and regulatory changes are some of the
driving forces in the modern world of finance. For instance,
financial markets now trade twenty-four hours a day and securities
are increasingly being traded via real-time computer-based systems
in contrast to trading floor-based systems. Equally important, new
security forms and pricing models are coming into existence in
response to changes in domestic and international regulatory
action. Accounting and risk management systems now enable financial
and investment firms to manage risk more efficiently while meeting
regulatory concerns. The challenge for academics and practitioners
alike is how to keep themselves, and others, current with these
changing markets, as well as the technology and current investment
and risk management tools. Applications in Finance, Investments,
and Banking offers presentations by twelve leading investment
professionals and academics on a wide range of finance, investment
and banking issues. Chapters include analysis of the basic
foundations of financial analysis, as well as current approaches to
managing risk. Presentations also include reviews of the means of
measuring the volatility of the underlying return process and how
investment performance measurement can be used to better understand
the benefits of active management. Finally, articles also present
advances in the pricing of the new financial assets (e.g., swaps),
as well as the understanding of the factors (e.g., earnings
estimates) affecting pricing of the traditional assets (e.g.,
stocks). Applications in Finance, Investments, and Banking provides
beneficial information to the understanding of both traditional and
modern approaches of financial and investment management.
