The quick guide to understanding the global securities markets

Investing in the global securities markets poses challenges far beyond simply choosing a security that's likely to provide a decent return. Global Securities Markets provides a framework for navigating through these highly diverse and complex markets, covering all the basics of global investing. Packed with tables and listings to help investors of all types easily locate the information they need to make the right choices, the book is an indispensible index for working the securities markets to their fullest extent. The book covers:

  • The mechanics of execution, clearing, settlement, custody, regulation, and practice in the US, UK, and European markets
  • Margin, short selling, prime brokerage, and the evolving disciplines of risk management, anti-money laundering, and international compliance

With 110 securities exchanges and 40 derivatives exchanges, it is more important than ever for the savvy investor to understand the global securities markets, and Global Securities Markets illustrates the rich history of the markets, how they work, and relevant contemporary legal concepts.
