It will be invaluable for anyone new to the industry, as well as for more seasoned analysts looking to expand their knowledge base.' - Stuart Baxter, GM Analytics, Centrix 'My impression of It's a Risky Business fits a Chinese phrase shen ru qian chu, that may be translated as 'in through the depths and shallows'. It is written by a mentor who has a deep grasp of complex subjects yet can convey them in simple terms. The plain, conversational tone of this book would be a great template for analysts to emulate when we collaborate with others. It's a Risky Business would be a perfect learning roadmap for developing analysts.' - Scott Liang, Head of Credit Risk NZ, humm group
