Bank Analyst`s Handbook - Money, Risk And Conjuring Tricks Description: It is not uncommon to meet professionals in financial services who have only a vague idea of what their colleagues actually do. The root cause is specialization and the subsequent development of jargon that makes communication between common specialists faster and more precise but is virtually impenetrable to everybody else. The Bank Analyst’ s Handbook provides a modern introduction to financial markets and intermediation. Individual subject areas are covered in a thorough but clear and succinct manner. The breadth of the author’ s experience as a sell-side bank analyst is exploited to good effect to pull together these threads and create a coherent framework for the analysis of financial markets, whether these are in advanced economies or developing markets. The Handbook is well-written and highly accessible. It builds on orthodox financial theory (with all of its flaws and controversies) but also highlights many of the real problems involved with translating such theory into practice. It can be appreciated at many different levels and this explains its wide target readership. The Bank Analyst’ s Handbook: Bridges the gap between the more superficial introductory books and specialist works Covers all the important functions and subjects related to the financial services industry Provides a comprehensive overview for financial services professionals, business school students, consultants, accountants, auditors and legal practitioners, analysts and fund-managers and corporate managers. An excellent guide for any professionals who are coming into the banking industry. Extremely well-written, covering clearly and lucidly a range of topics which manybankers themselves don`t understand. I will make this book mandatory reading - no, make that studying - for anybody I hire to work as a financial sector consultant. Chris Matten, Executive Director, PricewaterhouseCoopers A great insight into the often murky and impenetrable world of banking... compulsory...

Banking In Asia: Acquiring A Profit Mindset Secondedition Description: The banking markets of Asia contain some of the largest opportunities in the world. These riches, however, come with risks and volatility. As the Asian banking markets try to leapfrog their way into the 21st century, boom-bust cycles will reoccur. Succeeding in this lucrative, but challenging, environment requires bankers to fundamentally change their game. No longer is it sufficient to stake out markets and focus on increasing volume. Winners will be those who put focused profit strategies at the center of their agendas. They will be the banks who acquire a new profit mindset. This sequel to Banking in Asia: The End of Entitlement clearly lays out how Asian banking has evolved since the crisis of the mid-1990s and describes the new skills needed to succeed. In this remarkably detailed and fact-based analysis, the McKinsey&Company authors describe the fundamental forces shaping the banking markets in this dynamic region.

Building And Using Dynamic Interest Rate Models Description: The authors present a novel new approach to pricing interest rate securities. (The book) is well written and is easy to follow and understand. It`s a must read for those interested and involved in fixed income security valuation. William T. Ziemba, Alumni Professor of Financial Modeling and Stochastic Optimization, University of British Columbia Kortanek and Medvedev`s book presents an interesting approach to the individualisation of the models for the Yield Curve and for the Spot Rate by means of dynamic systems. This approach supplies an innovative calculation methodology for obtaining numeric solutions in certain important financial applications. I believe that these models can be considered a worthwhile instrument, complementary to the models based on stochastic equations. Professor G. Olivieri, Luiss Guido Carli University, Rome Building and Using Dynamic Interest Rate Models provides a new approach to modeling the term structure of interest rates. Based on the rich history of work in control theory and the optimization of systems under uncertainty, the authors set out to develop a new class of models of this type for the term structure of interest rates. Designed to complement the stochastic processes approach, the authors provide both the theory and the practical modeling and computer implementation needed to successfully build and use term structure models. The book presents results on serious testing using software for predicting the spot rate, the forward rate and the entire interest rate yield surface based on observations taken during an arbitrarily specified time period. Building and Using Dynamic Interest Rate Models is ideal readingfor those involved in the fixed income securities markets, with an expanded view towards forecasting future commodity prices and volatilities....
