This intermediate book on the financial capital markets goes beyond basic financial concepts, and discusses the plumbing and the mechanics of the markets. It requires no prior background, and is accessible to students, practitioners, journalists and enthusiasts.
This book covers the basics of financial institutions, instruments (debt, equity and options) and mentions new developments such as fintech and regulation. Compared to other books, this book is more concise and goes beyond the theory. It delves into institutional details rather than only discussing conceptual issues; the plumbing in the markets does matter
The book also introduces tools such as Bloomberg and has annexures on accounting, macroeconomics and statistics for introductory students. In that sense, it lies somewhere in between a traditional textbook and a reference book, and requires no prior finance background.
Dr. Sid Dastidar (www.columbia.edu/ sgd2002) teaches at Columbia University, at the IEOR Department and earlier at the Graduate School of Business. Sid has two decades of industry experience, buy-side and sell-side, across asset classes/ regions.
This book targets people who need a rapid orientation in finance, and need to apply the concepts right away. Key features include:
Practitioners currently employed in the finance profession will find this book useful in refreshing basic concepts in a part of the market they do not deal with regularly. Students of finance will find the book useful in teaching them preliminary/ intermediate ideas, putting facts in context and ❝connecting the dots.❞ Because of the book❜s introductory nature, it is heavy on principles, mechanics, details, etc., apart from some perspective. This book gives readers the tools to formulate opinions and evaluate the opinions of others, but it does not offer direct opinions on the current market.
Professionals who will find it useful include:
