The Trade Lifecycle Of A Trade - Behind The Scenesof The Trading Process 9780470685914 下载 pdb txt pdf 百度云 kindle umd 夸克云

　　Every person working in an investment bank or hedge fund has a

large part of his work connected to the lifecycle of a trade. It is

the glue by which all the departments are bound and the aggregated

success or failure of each trade determines the survival and growth

of the entire ***anization. Trading has evolved from a humble apple

growe***anting a stable price for his produce come harvest time, to

a complex and exciting industry comprising a significant share of

the global economy, and more recently, taking a hand in saving it.

It is the fundamental activity of investment banks, hedge funds,

pension funds and many other financial companies. There is no

bette***ay to understanding the workings of a financial institution

than to follow the progress of a trade through all of its various

stages and all the activities performed upon it.

In the aftermath of the financial crisis, the financial world has

changed, with less emphasis on trading and entrepreneurial activity

and more on risk management, regulation and auditing. In this new

world order, there will be a much greater ***ysis of every trade,

and all market participants will need to have a much better

understanding of the impact of thei***ork on the w*** trade

cycle.

This book will dissect a trade into its component parts, track it

from pre-conception to maturity and how the trade effects each

business function of a financial institution. As well as

illustrating each part of the trade process, it will highlight the

legal, operational, liquidity, credit and market risks to which the

trade is exposed. Readers will benefit from a full understanding of

all parts of the trade process, including derivative and credit

derivative trades, and will also see, with examples where

appropriate, how the mismanagement of these risks led to today's

financial crisis.
