Описание: Benchmarking is simply an attempt to learn from the experiences of other organisations with superior performance and initiate improvement programmes. This report helps practitioners with no experience of benchmarking to develop a clear understanding of the concept. It also provides them with an overview of practical aspects of benchmarking.
Описание: In Personal Benchmark: Integrating Behavioral Finance and Investment Management, Chuck Widger and Dr. Daniel Crosby outline the ways in which a program of embedded behavioral finance, fueled by what matters most to you, can be your protection against irrational financial behavior.

Описание: This Concise Textbook Provides A Unique Framework To Introduce Quantitative Finance To Advanced Undergraduate And Beginning Postgraduate Students. Inspired By Newton'S Three Laws Of Motion, Three Principles Of Quantitative Finance Are Proposed To Help Practitioners Also To Understand The Pricing Of Plain Vanilla Derivatives And Fixed Income Securities.The Book Provides A Refreshing Perspective On Box'S Thesis That "All Models Are Wrong, But Some Are Useful." Being Practice- And Market-Oriented, The Author Focuses On Financial Derivatives That Matter Most To Practitioners.The Three Principles Of Quantitative Finance Serve As Buoys For Navigating The Treacherous Waters Of Hypotheses, Models, And Gaps Between Theory And Practice. The Author Shows That A Risk-Based Parsimonious Model For Modeling The Shape Of The Yield Curve, The Arbitrage-Free Properties Of Options, The Black-Scholes And Binomial Pricing Models, Even The Capital Asset Pricing Model And The Modigliani-Miller Propositions Can Be Obtained Systematically By Applying The Normative Principles Of Quantitative Finance.
"Dr Jan Dash has achieved a success that is truly unique. It is common to find texts from authors steeped in climate science or in decision making processes. But it is rare to find someone skilled at both. Dr Dash knows his science and he knows how to use it to make informed decisions as we face a changing and challenging climate."
Dr John Abraham University of St Thomas, USA
Review of the First Edition:
"... this document brings a wealth of practical information on how work is done in real world financial markets, and covers an impressive number of topics, ranging from management and computer system issues to research themes whose potential applications are yet to be explored. It can prove a useful tool to anyone already well acquainted with the basics of mathematical finance, including financial mathematicians, but also quantitative analysts wishing to learn more of the fundamentals without paying too high a price in mathematical prerequisites."
Mathematical Reviews
Written by a physicist with extensive experience as a risk/finance quant, this book treats a wide variety of topics. Presenting the theory and practice of quantitative finance and risk, it delves into the "how to" and "what it's like" aspects not covered in textbooks or papers. A "Technical Index" indicates the mathematical level for each chapter.
This second edition includes some new, expanded, and wide-ranging considerations for risk management: Climate Change and its long-term systemic risk; Markets in Crisis and the Reggeon Field Theory; "Smart Monte Carlo" and American Monte Carlo; Trend Risk -- time scales and risk, the Macro-Micro model, singular spectrum analysis; credit risk: counterparty risk and issuer risk; stressed correlations -- new techniques; and Psychology and option models.
Solid risk management topics from the first edition and valid today are included: standard/advanced theory and practice in fixed income, equities, and FX; quantitative finance and risk management -- traditional/exotic derivatives, fat tails, advanced stressed VAR, model risk, numerical techniques, deals/portfolios, systems, data, economic capital, and a function toolkit; risk lab -- the nuts and bolts of risk management from the desk to the enterprise; case studies of deals; Feynman path integrals, Green functions, and options; and "Life as a Quant" -- communication issues, sociology, stories, and advice.

New Tools to Solve Your Option Pricing Problems
For nonlinear PDEs encountered in quantitative finance, advanced probabilistic methods are needed to address dimensionality issues. Written by two leaders in quantitative research--including Risk magazine's 2013 Quant of the Year--Nonlinear Option Pricing compares various numerical methods for solving high-dimensional nonlinear problems arising in option pricing. Designed for practitioners, it is the first authored book to discuss nonlinear Black-Scholes PDEs and compare the efficiency of many different methods.
Real-World Solutions for Quantitative Analysts
The book helps quants develop both their analytical and numerical expertise. It focuses on general mathematical tools rather than specific financial questions so that readers can easily use the tools to solve their own nonlinear problems. The authors build intuition through numerous real-world examples of numerical implementation. Although the focus is on ideas and numerical examples, the authors introduce relevant mathematical notions and important results and proofs. The book also covers several original approaches, including regression methods and dual methods for pricing chooser options, Monte Carlo approaches for pricing in the uncertain volatility model and the uncertain lapse and mortality model, the Markovian projection method and the particle method for calibrating local stochastic volatility models to market prices of vanilla options with/without stochastic interest rates, the a + bλ technique for building local correlation models that calibrate to market prices of vanilla options on a basket, and a new stochastic representation of nonlinear PDE solutions based on marked branching diffusions.
Описание: This book puts numerical methods in action for the purpose of solving practical problems arising in quantitative finance. Part one develops a comprehensive toolkit including Monte Carlo simulation, numerical schemes for partial differential equations, stochastic optimization in discrete time, copula functions, Laplace transforms and quadrature methods. Part two proposes eighteen self-contained cases covering model simulation, derivative valuation, dynamic hedging, portfolio selection, risk management, statistical estimation and calibration. It encompasses a wide variety of problems arising in markets for equity, interest rates, credit risk, energy and exotic derivatives. Each case introduces a problem, develops a detailed solution and illustrates empirical results. Proposed algorithms are implemented using either Matlab or Visual Basic. The book originates from class notes and case-studies developed within courses on Numerical Methods for Finance and Exotic Derivatives held by the authors at Bocconi University since the year 2000.
