This book was released on 2018 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alternative Investments: A Primer for Investment Professionals provides an overview of alternative investments for institutional asset allocators and other overseers of portfolios containing both traditional and alternative assets. It is designed for those with substantial experience regarding traditional investments in stocks and bonds but limited familiarity regarding alternative assets, alternative strategies, and alternative portfolio management. The primer categorizes alternative assets into four groups: hedge funds, real assets, private equity, and structured products/derivatives. Real assets include vacant land, farmland, timber, infrastructure, intellectual property, commodities, and private real estate. For each group, the primer provides essential information about the characteristics, challenges, and purposes of these institutional-quality alternative assets in the context of a well-diversified institutional portfolio. Other topics addressed by this primer include tail risk, due diligence of the investment process and operations, measurement and management of risks and returns, setting return expectations, and portfolio construction. The primer concludes with a chapter on the case for investing in alternatives.
Download or read book The Investing Primer written by Mitchel Myers and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-08-05 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investing is a practice that fascinates millions of people. The prospect of making significant amounts of money in stocks, bonds, and other asset classes allures people of all backgrounds. However, few people take the time to acquire the technical knowledge and understanding that enable successful investment. Even fewer people take the time to identify and employ a sound philosophical framework through which to invest. Yet, these people do not deserve the blame, since the cohesive literature on the topic is lacking. There are few books, if any, that arm the novice investor with an understanding of the core technical concepts of investing, while also discussing both the common qualitative characteristics of great investments, and a practical philosophical framework through which to implement this knowledge. Most books in the spaces of corporate finance and investing have one of three critical flaws: 1) an exclusive focus on technical concepts, 2) an exclusive focus on philosophical concepts, or 3) an assumption that the reader understands the very basics of investing and finance. The objective of The Investing Primer is to fill the apparent void in the investing literature by covering basic financial and investing concepts, advanced technical concepts, qualitative analysis, and a proven philosophical framework in a single, concise resource. Ultimately, the engaged reader will have a much deeper knowledge of investing and the ability to utilize this knowledge for significant economic gain.Key Parts:-Part I: Investing Essentials and Acquiring Information-Part II: Accounting, Essential Formulas, and Financial Analysis-Part III: Debt and Capital Structure-Part IV: Valuation and Financial Modeling -Part V: Fundamental Analysis-Part VI: Value Investing-Part VII: Private Equity-Part VIII: Advanced/Selected Topics

Download or read book The Investor s Primer written by John Moody and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Investor's Primer There has long been a demand for a concise handbook which would give, in simple, understandable language, definitions of all the important terms and phrases employed in the investment and banking business. This little book represents an effort to in some measure supply this demand. The book is really in two parts, the first part covering the general definitions of finance; the second giving specific information regarding the various issues of preferred and guaranteed stocks which are generally classed among the investment issues. Many other small books furnish information regarding bonds, quotations, etc., etc., but this specific and useful information has not, as far as the writer knows, been heretofore presented for popular uses, in this particular way. Although the definitions are all arranged alphabetically in dictionary style, yet, to facilitate practical use of the volume, an alphabetical index is inserted in the back.

Download or read book A Primer on Securitization written by Leon T. Kendall and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Primer on Securitization introduces readers to America's newest system of raising capital: what it is, how it operates, and what difference securitization makes. Gathering fourteen lectures by the pioneers of securitization and by current practitioners--from Freddie Mac, Paine Webber, JP Morgan, Chrysler, McKinsey & Co, and other major players-- A Primer on Securitization introduces readers to America's newest system of raising capital: what it is, how it operates, and what difference securitization makes.The securitization process bypasses financial intermediaries that have historically collected deposits and loaned them to those seeking funds, and links borrowers directly to money and capital markets. Although little has been written about what is perhaps one of the most important innovations to emerge in financial markets since the 1930s, securitization has revolutionized the way that the borrowing needs of consumers and businesses are met. Today, for example, over two-thirds of all home loans are being securitized, along with substantial percentages of auto loans and credit card receivables, and the process continues to expand into new fields including synthetic securities. Authoritative and practical, these lectures show how securitization was developed to fill a gap in financial markets. They discuss the nature and causes of the market imperfections that made securitization a valuable source of funds, and describe how securitization has linked local mortgage markets with international capital markets. Readers will gain a broad perspective of the different parties--the borrower, the loan originator, the servicer, the rating agency, the special purpose vehicle, the credit enhancer, the underwriter, and the investor--as well as a detailed analysis of how these parties relate to one another. From the inception of the secondary mortgage market through the collapse of the Granite funds, readers will learn not only about the success but also about the excesses and failures that typically accompany the development of any product in the real or financial sector.

Download or read book The Wall Street Primer written by Jason A. Pedersen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-11-30 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does Wall Street, that great bastion of American Capitalism, really work? This book provides the multifaceted answer to that question clearly, concisely, and on a practical level for anyone seeking to better understand the inner workings of the capital markets. Tracing the dealings of a fictional company from inception to maturity, The Wall Street Primer provides the reader with practical insights on Wall Street and its functions and operations. Written for professionals new to the industry, investors, job seekers, students, brokers and traders, and entrepreneurs and business executives, the book goes well beyond nice to know information. Instead, it will be, for many people, must have information about organizations, professions, and transactions that can help them make deals, get ahead in their careers, or better fund and build their businesses. Everybody has heard of Wall Street, but very few know anything about its institutions and processes. What is the buyside? Who works on the sellside? How do companies raise capital? Why do companies hire investment bankers? What is the difference between a mutual fund and a hedge fund? What is the process for selling a company? What does it take to go public and how is it done? The Wall Street Primer lifts the veil and answers these questions and many more. Besides covering financings and mergers and acquisitions, Pedersen illuminates the players involved. These include venture capitalists, private equity investors, public portfolio managers, activist shareholders, investment bankers, institutional salespeople and traders, and all those associated with their activities, like regulators, lawyers, and accountants. Along the way, readers learn about the offering and trading of stocks and bonds, what is involved in M&A transactions, how technology is affecting the brokerage industry, what concerns institutional investors, and much more. Best, it's written by an insider who has seen both Wall Street's public face and its backroom dealings. Author and former investment banker and securities attorney Jason Pedersen searched for years for a book he could recommend to clients and professionals that contained practical information on how the pieces all fit together—who the players are, what they do, how they interact, and how, why, and when deals get done. But he never found that book and so decided to write it himself. The result is a fascinating look at how people navigate Wall Street—and wake up to find themselves living the American Dream.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stan Anderson, age 35, and his wife Suzie, were shocked by the presidential election results of November 2016. They had already decided that they could not rely strictly on Social Security for their retirement, and after an initial dip, the stock market recovered and raced upward. The couple agreed they needed to buy stocks right awayor else theyd be left behind as prices advanced.

Archer, one of the worlds prominent economists, explores how the stock market works and how to stay away from making emotional investment decisions in The Mind and the Stock Market. He explains why its wise to diversify investments, and he also argues that its wise to consider allocating some money to corporate bonds, government debt, commodities, real estate, coins, insurance, currencies, the arts, and precious metals. From the stock market, initial public offerings, stock futures, stock options, retirement accounts, inflation, economic indicators and more, this primer for beginning investors is essential reading for anyone who wants to make wiser decisions.
