Dictionary of Investment Management

0.0

Indian capital market, with well over 22 stock exchanges, 10,000 listed companies, 20 million investors transacting securities worth more than Rs. 100 billion every year is next only to that of USA. The corporate investors are badly in need of a dictionary to trace out the meanings of the technical words and concepts. Terms often used in securities analysis are also touched upon. This dictionary also covers definitions of important commercial terms used in investment management. An attempt has been made to enable the reader to find quickly an explanation, not merely a definition, without seeking for it among several textbooks. As a book of reference, the dictionary will be useful to academicians, practitioners such as investors, brokers, asset management companies, accountants, bankers, issue managers, speculators, mutual fund companies, leasing firms, FIIs, venture capitalists, financial managers, underwriters engaged in financial market and finally students of MBA, CA, ICWA, CFA, ACS, M.Com., etc. It will also prove useful to the common reader who has little or no knowledge of investment and financial affairs in his ordinary life.
