The first quarter of the new century has seen developments in
technology, monetary policy and the management of large companies
that have transformed personal savings and investment around the
world. Love it, loathe it, or just not interested in it, this
innovation has changed not only the nature of money, but our
understanding of what it means to invest - whether we want to
safeguard our pensions, experiment with personal trading platforms
or simply understand how the markets really work. How to Invest
aims to help investors navigate this new world, offering a
principles-based, keep-it-simple approach to help them make
investment decisions and have investment conversations that will
make the most of their money.
Risk model validation is an emerging and important area of
research, and has arisen because of Basel I and II. These
regulatory initiatives require trading institutions and lending
institutions to compute their reserve capital in a highly analytic
way, based on the use of internal risk models. It is part of the
regulatory structure that these risk models be validated both
internally and externally, and there is a great shortage of
information as to best practise. Editors Christodoulakis and
Satchell collect papers that are beginning to appear by regulators,
consultants, and academics, to provide the first collection that
focuses on the quantitative side of model validation. The book
covers the three main areas of risk: Credit Risk and Market and
Operational Risk.
*Risk model validation is a requirement of Basel I and II
*The first collection of papers in this new and developing area of
research
*International authors cover model validation in credit, market,
and operational risk
The classic guide for the individual investor, The Economist Guide to Investment Strategy sets out the basic - and the not-so-basic - principles for putting your wealth to work. It looks at risk, pointing out the hazards for those who wish to explore a variety of investment approaches. It also teaches the importance of sophisticated self-knowledge in finance, distilling insights from behavioural analysis as well as the principles of traditional finance. It highlights how habitual patterns of decision-making can lead any of us into costly mistakes, and it stresses how markets are most dangerous when they appear to be most rewarding.

Over the last 20 years hedge funds and derivatives have fluctuated
in reputational terms; they have been blamed for the global
financial crisis and been praised for the provision of liquidity in
troubled times. Both topics are rather under-researched due to a
combination of data and secrecy issues. This book is a collection
of papers celebrating 20 years of the Journal of Derivatives and
Hedge Funds (JDHF). The 18 papers included in this volume represent
a small sample of influential papers included during the life of
the Journal, representing industry-orientated research in these
areas. With a Preface from co-editor of the journal Stephen
Satchell, the first part of the collection focuses on hedge funds
and the second on markets, prices and products.
Many high net worth individuals are interested in diversifying
their portfolios and investing in collectibles. A collectible is
any physical asset that appreciates in value over time because it
is rare or desired by many. Stamps, coins, fine art, antiques,
books, and wine are examples of collectibles. Where does the
financial advisor or investment manager for these high net worth
individuals go to learn about these investments? There is no
comprehensive resource from the financial standpoint--until now. Dr
Stephen Satchell of Trinity College, Cambridge, has developed a
book in which experts in various types of collectibles analyze the
financial aspects of investing in these collectibles. Chapters
address issues such as: liquidity challenges, tax ramifications,
appreciation timelines, the challenge of forecasting and measuring
appreciation, and the psychological component of collecting and the
role of emotion in collectible investing.
