Customer Reviews

snapshot UK v USA
A good book for the USA financial profession, A waste of time for the UK.

Very good dictionary for investors
This dictionary covers over 4000 financial terms and is perfect for everyone who needs a small but complete book that help him understand a financial text. Is can be a nice gift for financial institutions.

Great Companion, Especially for the Right-Brained
This book is a great quick-reference for those who either have difficulty wrapping their brains around the world of Finance, or for those who need to refresh or expand their understanding of the unique vernacular within the investment industry. Each term gives a fairly succinct definition which highlights associated terms for your further research. The book is somewhat brick-sized and easy to take along with you (whilst it is a bit heavy). I found it an invaluable resource as a newbie to investment banking, and later when I studied investment models and the art market.
