An Introduction to Investment Banks, Hedge Funds, and Private Equity
The dynamic environment of investment banks, hedge funds, and private equity firms comes to life in David Stowell's introduction to the ways they challenge and sustain each other. Capturing their reshaped business plans in the wake of the 2007-2009 global meltdown, his book reveals their key functions, compensation systems, unique roles in wealth creation and risk management, and epic battles for investor funds and corporate influence. Its combination of perspectives—drawn from his industry and academic backgrounds—delivers insights that illuminate the post-2009 reinvention and acclimation processes. Through a broad view of the ways these financial institutions affect corporations, governments, and individuals, Professor Stowell shows us how and why they will continue to project their power and influence. - Emphasizes the needs for capital, sources of capital, and the process of getting capital to those who need it - Integrates into the chapters 10 cases about recent transactions, along with case notes and questions - Accompanies cases with spreadsheets for readers to create their own analytical frameworks and consider choices and opportunities

Amidst global competitive turbulence, socio-economic volatility, and geopolitical uncertainty, The Boardroom analyses how Asian boardroom leaders steer organizations...

Summary of Sebastian Mallaby's More Money Than God
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The hedge-fund managers of the second gilded age are not new, and they are not unique. They are the descendants of the hedge-fund managers of the 1960s boom, who were described as being secretive and arrogant. #2 Alfred Winslow Jones, the founder of the first hedge fund, was a unlikely Wall Street patriarch. He had experimented restlessly with multiple careers, and in 1949 he invented his hedged fund. He was cut from different cloth than his competitors. #3 Jones was posted to Berlin in December 1930, and he met Anna Block, a socialite and left-wing anti-Nazi activist. They married in secret, but the union was soon discovered by his embassy colleagues. The divorce forced his resignation from the State Department in May 1932. #4 As a sociologist and journalist, Jones was able to navigate the turmoil in America and come out more levelheaded than before. He wrote a book in 1941 titled Life, Liberty, and Property, which was a standard sociology textbook.
