Product Description
Praise for Managing Global Financial and Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

"From caplets and corridors to perps and wild card options, Homaifar covers the details and the essentials of the foreign exchange and futures markets. This is a thorough, detailed, yet readable and clear treatment of foreign exchange and futures markets."
--George M. McCabe
Professor of Finance, University of Nebraska
Editor, Quarterly Journal of Business and Economics

"Professor Homaifar's book does an excellent job of explaining in practical terms the application of options and futures in managing risk. The examples in the book provide an excellent way for students and professionals to gain experience in working realistic problems."
--Dr. Billy Helms
Professor and Department Chair
College of Commerce and Business Administration, The University of Alabama

"Professor Homaifar has the knack of reducing esoteric and arcane concepts into terms that anyone who teaches courses in risk management or is a practitioner in risk management can understand and apply. I highly recommend this book."
--Dr. Ken Hollman
Professor and Holder of the Tommy Martin Chair of Insurance
Middle Tennessee State University

"Managing Global Financial and Foreign Exchange Risk provides clear and lucid explanations of what students often find is the most difficult subject matter in finance. In addition, the book is well written and thorough. Highly recommended."

3 out of 5 stars All encompassing but promises more than it delivers   December 28, 2007

3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This is a decent enough book and will provide a good introduction to those who want to understand the basics of the foreign exchange market and, in particular, the details of financial instruments that can be used. To me, that is the problem though; the title alludes to managing risk, but this is really mostly (but not entirely) just yet another book explaining all the instruments that can be used. These are a dime a dozen and the reader would have been better served if the author focused on what the title promised. Still, if you are a corporate treasurer without much experience this book will be helpful.
