Finance Compact Plus

Finance Market Theory Explained Simply. Finance Compact Plus offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of finance market theory: stock analysis and fixed-income investments, risk measurement and risk preferences, diversification and portfolio selection, capital market theory and factor evaluation, performance measurement and active portfolio management, currency risks and international asset allocation, derivatives and risk structuring, cost of capital and corporate finance. The selection of topics is oriented towards practical questions relevant to the field and the analytical methods used in scientific research. This work serves both as an advanced textbook and as a reference work. The two volumes are only available together.

About the Development of Finance Compact Plus: In 1996, Fit for Finance was created, based on a course from the Swiss Institute for Banking and Finance at the University of St. Gallen, providing a readable introduction to modern finance market theory. In 2003, the Department of Finance Market Theory at WWZ University of Basel developed it into Finance Compact. After four new editions, the work has now been completely restructured and redesigned due to the rapid development of finance market theory and practice. Various topics have been newly included, expanded, and the connection to research and practice has been deepened. The goal remains: to explain finance market theory simply and intuitively.
