Overview

Beenhakker offers a comprehensive examination of all aspects of risk management—from financial structures and techniques through the development of efficient portfolios and decisions that will minimize investment risks and taxes. The result is a multifaceted approach to risk management, one that advances new theory and involves interaction among various disciplines. Beenhakker takes special care to point out the assumptions underlying developments in risk situations, and his book not only is self-contained in one volume, but also assumes no prior knowledge of the various disciplines upon which it is based and from which it draws its ideas. Professionals with investment responsibilities in both the public and private sectors will find a variety of new concepts explained clearly and simply. Their colleagues in the academic community and students will find the book to be a unique bridge between theory and practice.
