It will not be highly mathematical, although mathematical formulae and technical graphs will be used where necessary, and will not rely on excessive technical jargon.The author also covers guidelWiley finance series.Investment analysisRisk managementInvestment analysis.Risk management.332.6658.15/5658.155Chong Yen Yee1638515MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910830231403321Investment risk management3981002UNINA
