Trading with the Ottomans: The Levant Company in the Middle East - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Trade is the engine of history, and the acceleration in what scholars call 'globalism' from the beginning of the last millennium has been driven by communities interacting with each other through commerce and exchange. The Ottoman Empire was a trading partner that spanned the globe, and was therefore the primary link between the West and the Middle East in the 15th to the 19th century. The Levant Company traded British manufacturing with the Ottomans for two centuries, hiring de facto ambassadors, locals, explorers and adventurers and tradesmen. It set up 'factories' (trading posts) across the Ottoman lands and traded skins, textiles, crafts and spices. Here Vlami Despina focuses on the company's long decline - utilizing new archival research she unpicks this crucial partnership and assesses it's important to the modern world.

We will de ne this more concretely below, but you can think of it for now as a (somewhat painful!) downward slope on your performance chart. Risk - Risk comprises many areas, and we'll spend signi cant time going over them in the following chapter, but generally it refers to both risk of capital loss, such as with drawdowns, and volatility of returns. The latter usually being calculated as an annualised standard deviation of returns. Risk/Reward Ratio - Institutional investors are mainly interested with risk-adjusted returns. Since higher volatility can often lead to higher returns at the expense of greate

Risk and Trading on London’s Alternative Investment Market: The Stock Market for Smaller and Growing Companies - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Abstract: We conduct an extensive empirical study comparing the relative riskiness of two UK equity markets run by the London Stock Exchange: AIM the market for growth companies versus the Main Market, the market for more established companies. AIM has been a considerable success. Even by its survival over 19 years it has succeeded in relation to similar markets in other countries. During that period it has seen rapid growth and has emerged as the market of choice for smaller, newer companies in the UK and increasingly elsewhere. Investors often perceive AIM as riskier than the Main Market for comparable stocks. At a superficial level we find that AIM stocks may seem more risky than comparable Main Market stocks, but as the analysis is refined to ensure that the comparisons focus purely on the effect of being on different markets the difference shrinks and finally disappears. This conclusion concurs with the market practitioner’s view that there is no significant risk differential

Making a Market for Acts of God: The Practice of Risk Trading in the Global Reinsurance Industry - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Reinsurance is a financial market that trades in the risk of unpredictable and devastating disasters - such as Hurricane Katrina, the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, and the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre. Such disasters are increasing in both frequency and severity, with the cost of their losses mounting rapidly. Reinsurance insures insurance companies, enabling them to pay claims arising from these losses. It is thus a market mechanism that is a critical part of the social and economic safety net, helping to pick up the pieces after disasters. Yet, how is the risk of such disasters calculated and traded in a global market? This book brings to life the reinsurance market through vivid real-life tales that draw from an ethnographic, "fly-on-the-wall" study of the global reinsurance industry over three annual cycles. The authors shadowed underwriters around the world as they traded risks through multiple disasters. For instance, this book takes readers into the desperate hours of pricing Japanese risks during March 2011, while the devastating aftermath of the Tohoku earthquake is unfolding. To show how the market works, the book offers authentic tales gathered from observations of reinsurers in Bermuda, Lloyd's of London, Continental Europe and SE Asia as they evaluate, price and compete for different risks as part of their everyday practice. Understanding how this market for disasters works has never been more critical given the impact of climate change and increased global connectivity, where a flood in one country can trigger losses to supply chains around the world. The authors develop a novel concept of how global markets work, which advances scholarship and challenges current thinking about how financial markets trade in intangible assets such as risk. This book will be useful to readers interested in markets for disasters, insurance, reinsurance and financial markets, and academics interested in the practice of financial markets specifically or the practice of strategy and organizations generally.آیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
