About the Book

"In exceptionally clear and concise language, Javier Estrada explains the concepts of modern finance. Each chapter is up - to - date, well - presented and contains useful problem sets. I recommend this book to practitioners and students alike." George Hoguet, CFA, FRM Global Investment Strategist, State Street Global Advisors Professor Estrada has written a summary of basic financial topics that should appeal to all levels of students and practitioners. It is concise and readable, but still manages to address the key issues in finance in a manner that is both useful and insightful. As a former academic and current practitioner of finance, I will use this book and recommend it to my colleagues. Jack Glen, from the International Finance Corporation (IFC). Javier Estrada delivers the essential concepts and tools of modern finance clearly and concisely. Estrada avoids abstract symbolism and jargon, and instead relies on insightful, practical examples, making this the perfect book for practitioners who seek an efficient and engaging learning experience. My advice: buy this book and keep it close at hand! Mark Kritzman President & CEO Windham Capital Management, LLC

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
