This book provides a quantitative overview of corporate risk management for both financial and non-financial organisations. It systematically explores a range of important risks, including interest rate risk, equity risk, commodity price risk, credit risk management, counterparty risk, operational risk, liquidity risk, market risk, derivative credit risk and country risk. Chapters also provide comprehensive and accessible analysis of risk-related phenomena and the corporate strategies employed to minimise the impacts of risk in each case. Chapters begin with an explanation of basic concepts and terminology, before going on to present quantitative examples and qualitative discussion sections. The author leverages his lifetime’s experience of working in risk management to offer this clear and empirical guide for scholars and practitioners researching financial stability.

Finance is a topic that requires much computation, and in todayâe(tm)s business world that computation is almost entirely done using Microsoft Excel. Despite this, existing finance textbooks continue to rely heavily on hand calculators, and business school students find that when they leave the academic environment they have to relearn finance using Excel. Addressing this issue, Principles of Finance with Excel is the only introductory finance text that comprehensively integrates Excel into the teaching and practice of finance. The second edition covers the same topics as standard financial textbooks, including portfolios, capital asset pricing models, stock and bond valuation, capital structure, and dividend and optional policy, and can therefore be used in any introductory course. However, this text also introduces Excel as it applies to finance students, demonstrating and explaining the implementation of finance concepts with Excel, and providing thorough coverage of all Excel topics including graphs, function data tables, dates in Excel, Goal Seek, and Solver. Combining classroom-tested pedagogy with the powerful functions of Excel, Simon Benninga, one of the most recognised names in financial modelling, shows students how spreadsheets can provide new and deeper insights into financial decision making.

Too often, finance courses stop short of making a connection between textbook finance and the problems of real-world business. "Financial Modeling" bridges this gap between theory and practice by providing a nuts-and-bolts guide to solving common financial problems with spreadsheets. The CD-ROM contains Excel* worksheets and solutions to end-of-chapter exercises. 634 illustrations.

Best-Practice EVA tells the new EVA story from the ground up. Stewart covers EVA essentials—the classic economic profit version of EVA—in the first three chapters of the book. He shows readers how simple and intuitive EVA really is, how it is defined, and why it is better than all other measures of corporate profit. You discover how it naturally guides managers into making all the right decisions—the ones that will truly maximize value. You see how to use it in profit-sharing bonus plans that create the powerful incentives of an owner. Later, Stewart introduces new ratios that make EVA much more powerful and much easier to use than ever before. The pinnacle of the new ratio framework is EVA Momentum, calculated by taking the change in EVA versus the prior period, and dividing by the revenues in the prior period. It measures the growth rate in EVA, scaled to the sales size of the business. It is the only corporate performance ratio where bigger always is better, because it gets bigger when EVA does, which means it should be every company's most important financial goal, the one ratio metric that everyone aims to maximize as the key measure of corporate success. Stewart then walks through the nuts and bolts of Best-Practice EVA, kicking off with an in-depth look at EVA Margin, or EVA as a percent of sales. It’s a key productivity metric, and Stewart’s candidate to replace ROI. The last link in the Best-Practice program is PRVit—the EVA market score report. Stewart shows how to read and interpret the report, how the score is determined, and why investors are turning to it to screen and rate stocks. He also shows why it is finding a home with CFOs and IR directors who want insights into how the market is pricing their stock. The book concludes with battle-tested tips from the firing line, practical suggestions for how you can test drive and adopt Best-Practice EVA at your company.

La gestión financiera de una empresa en la actualidad debe apoyarse tanto en unos sólidos conocimientos teóricos, como en herramientas que faciliten la toma de decisiones de forma ágil y eficiente. Por ello, el dominio de hojas de cálculo es una prioridad para cualquier profesional en el campo de las finanzas; este libro resulta de ayuda para iniciarse en este empeño. JOSÉ MARTÍ PELLÓN Catedrático de Economía Financiera / Universidad Complutense de Madrid Uno de los desafíos más interesantes en finanzas acerca de la efectividad de la modelación financiera es cerrar la brecha entre el ámbito académico y el práctico. Para lograr esto, el analista usa su "caja de herramientas", en donde encuentra modelos, fórmulas, códigos, técnicas matemáticas y estadísticas; pero también intuición, referenciación, debate, creatividad, método, ensayo, error y persistencia. Dicha brecha no se cierra completamente, pero cada intento entrena al profesional para el siguiente problema. Este libro engrosa nuestra "caja de herramientas" y acerca las técnicas a las soluciones prácticas; así, el proceso de análisis de problemas financieros tiene mayores posibilidades de alcanzar soluciones reales y efectivas. Este libro nos ayuda a entrenar y prepararnos mejor para el siguiente reto financiero. FELIPE HERRERA Vicepresidente de inversiones / Protección Este libro es una guía fundamental en el estudio de las Matemáticas Financieras y la Evaluación Financiera de Proyectos, pues expone la teoría de una manera muy clara y pedagógica, y permite aplicarla con una herramienta poderosa como Microsoft Excel. Pocos libros tienen esta conexión, la cual es vital para el desarrollo de las actividades de un analista financiero. SANTIAGO REVELO Coordinador de Modelaciones Financieras / SURA Este libro presenta Excel como herramienta fundamental en la transición de la teoría a la práctica que todo estudiante requiere para enfrentarse al campo laboral. Además de explicar con claridad los conceptos financieros, enseña técnicas en el uso de la hoja de cálculo que, sin duda, ahorran tiempo y facilitan el aprendizaje.
