Board Directors, Financial Derivatives, and Corporate Governance: The Case of Vietnam
This book gives readers a look inside the boardrooms and directors’ minds—a desirable but highly challenging task for researchers due to the lack of access to top teams in organizations. This book breaks through that barrier with a mixed-methods investigation of boardrooms in the emerging country of Vietnam particularly on the topic of financial derivatives. Directors are the leading players within the corporate governance framework. The general effectiveness of the board depends on their roles, processes and competencies. Given the scandals marring the history of the financial industry, this book aims to tackle the question of whether board directors have the financial acumen required to handle the tricky instruments of financial derivatives through interviews with board directors and analysis of their organizations. Providing a managerial perspective of financial derivatives, this distinguishes itself from more popular financial engineering books and would be a useful read for government officials, board directors, training organizations and scholars, particularly in Vietnam.
From speculator to investor
In this book, the author describes his career path from apprentice gardener in a small Bavarian town to investment manager in the financial metropolis of New York. The detours along the way and the insights he gained into how to manage money sensibly make the book particularly interesting for laypeople who want to get a grip on their finances. At the end of the book, the "gardener of money" – as the author is described in a profile in the Financial Times – offers concrete suggestions for putting together a global stock portfolio and presents his "coffee can" strategy, a promising option for investing in stocks that anyone can understand.
Hedge Funds and Financial Market Dynamics
Hedge funds are collective investment vehicles, often organized as private partnerships and resident offshore for tax and regulatory purposes. Their legal status places few restrictions on their portfolios and transactions, leaving their managers free to use short sales, derivative securities, and leverage to raise returns and cushion risk. This paper considers the role of hedge funds in financial market dynamics, with particular reference to the Asian crisis.

A vast set of quantitative techniques, internal risk measurement and governance processes, and supervisory reporting rules have grown up over time, all with important implications for modeling and managing risk information. Without an understanding of the broader forces at work, it is all too easy to get lost in the details. -- Back cover.
