developments in financing. It is written in an accessible but rigorous style for people with limited knowledge of the topic, with minimal jargon but full referencing throughout the academic chapters. Each academic chapter starts with a summary and three key points to guide the reader’s understanding.

He holds degrees from the Universities of Oxford and Reading, and is a CFA charter holder and certified Financial Risk Manager. Mike Thomas, a Partner at The Lantau Group, is an expert in the rigorous analysis of energy sector decisions, including how or whether to regulate, how and when to rely on market forces, and the evaluation of opportunities and risks. He has an MPP from Harvard Kennedy School and a BA from Carleton College. |
