The right book at the right time
I think that more than ever the financial markets are really interconnected, and especially with credit-driven events. This book ties all the pieces together in a very useful way.

A must-have for the financial professional
Like I suppose most other finance professionals, I had often considered certain assets as best belonging within their own separate universe; stocks are stocks, bonds are bonds, etc., and 'never the twain shall meet'. For the first time that at least I'm aware of, Beaumont has shown how useful and insightful it can be to approach markets from the viewpoint of showing how much they have in common as opposed to how different they are. In doing this he succeeds in both providing a way to think creatively about financial engineering as well as how to innovatively think about risk and return in an everyday portfolio management context. In short, I found the book to be very well written, concise, logical, and plain smart. Similar Products
