Description:
There is no getting around the fact that working in financial markets comes with the need to have some understanding of maths, if you really want to make a success of it.
The ability to collect, organise, evaluate and analyse data is the key to understanding the value of assets and their associated risk. Armed with this ability, we can make rational decisions… not just financial ones, but, those that affect many other aspects of our lives.
it doesn’t matter whether you work in, sales and trading, asset management, risk, personal investing, corporate finance, or which product you deal with, bonds, equities, derivatives or commodities; the same techniques are common to all.
