Using clear frameworks that show how venture financing really works, Da Rin and Hellmann point out how the networks of talent and expertise that investors can help entrepreneurs access are critical to a start-up's success. This is especially true for big, ambitious, and even contrarian ventures. So if you're an entrepreneur ready to pursue a truly bold idea, be sure to read this book. * Reid Hoffman, Co-founder of LinkedIn and co-author of Blitzscaling *\u003cbr\u003eThis textbook achieves a wonderful balance in providing students with a broad and insightful introduction to entrepreneurial finance; but at the same time opens up many avenues for interested students to pursue the material more deeply. The authors draw from a wealth of intriguing examples to make the material come to life and their in-depth knowledge of the subject matter shines through at every turn. A great resource for any student of entrepreneurial finance as well as a lay audience that wants to understand this fast growing part of finance better. * Antoinette Schoar, Michael M.

Strebulaev, Professor of Finance, Stanford Graduate School of Business *\u003cbr\u003eThe financing of start-ups is crucial for their very survival and development, yet it is often thought of as a narrow technical issue. It is not! Da Rin and Hellmann build a comprehensive framework that helps the reader understand the entire entrepreneurial financing process, and how entrepreneurs and investors navigate through it. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand the fuel that fires the modern innovation economy, and especially to those venturing into it. * Eugene Kandel, CEO of Start-Up Nation Central, and Professor of Economics and Finance at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem *\u003cbr\u003eThis book will help students from different backgrounds understand how venture financing works.

The issues addressed in their book are critical for any entrepreneur who is considering starting a company and raising capital. The material is applicable to any industry or country context making the book a 'must read'.

The book will become a staple not only in the classroom, but on the shelf of every aspiring entrepreneur. * Paul Gompers, Eugene Holman Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School *\u003cbr\u003eThe financing of start-ups has become a global phenomenon with ambitious start-ups being funded by venture investors across many countries, including China. This is the first book to provide a truly global perspective on entrepreneurial finance.

What is a responsible business? Common wisdom is that it''s one that sacrifices profit for social outcomes. But while it''s crucial for companies to serve society, they also have a duty to generate profit for investors - savers, retirees, and pension funds. Based on the highest-quality evidence and real-life examples spanning industries and countries, Alex Edmans shows that it''s not an either-or choice - companies can create both profit and social value. The most successful companies don''t target profit directly, but are driven by purpose - the desire to serve a societal need and contribute to human betterment. The book explains how to embed purpose into practice so that it''s more than just a mission statement, and discusses the critical role of working collaboratively with a company''s investors, employees, and customers. Rigorous research also uncovers surprising results on how executive pay, shareholder activism, and share buybacks can be \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'I do not know whether capitalism is in crisis. But I do know Alex Edmans' superb book makes the case, compellingly and comprehensively, for a radical rethink of how companies operate and indeed why they exist. It is the definitive account of the analytical case for responsible business, but is at the same time practical and grounded in real business experience. It is a tour de force.' Andy Haldane, Chief Economist, Bank of England\u003cbr\u003e'Politicians are calling for  large companies to be regulated or split up. In this compelling book Alex Edmans argues that there is indeed a problem with corporate behavior but that the solution may be simpler: change corporate purpose so that companies focus on growing the pie rather than grabbing more of it. Edmans's arguments are a powerful and persuasive antidote to much of the conventional wisdom about the corporate world.' Oliver Hart, 2016 Nobel Laureate in Economics\u003cbr\u003e'This is a brilliant and timely book, taking the business case for responsible capitalism to a whole new level. Edmans provides a rigorous, evidence-based approach, exploring numerous angles around how businesses can (and, as he shows, must) combine profit-seeking with purpose as well as the role investors and other stakeholders can play in driving a genuine win-win approach. He tackles counter-arguments head-on and has the courage to expose examples of virtue-signalling that falsely discredit responsible businesses. Citing case studies collated over decades, it's a great read, too, offering fascinating examples well beyond the usual suspects. Grow the Pie really has the power to convince the sceptics as well as encourage advocates consider new ways to embed the approach further in their businesses.' Dame Helena Morrissey, financier and founder of the 30% Club\u003cbr\u003e'This is a must-read book for anyone interested in reforming capitalism - particularly in its role of serving wider society. The book is grounded in academic evidence, but the ideas are highly practical, and recognize the need for business to be profitable as well as purposeful. Most companies have inspiring mission statements; Edmans provides a concrete framework for translating them into actual practice. He does not shy away from acknowledging the challenges with running a purpose-driven company - balancing multiple objectives, achieving investor buy-in, and making decisions where the key criteria cannot be quantified. Instead, he tackles them head-on, giving clear guidelines on how to navigate tough decisions, which he illustrates with powerful examples.' Dominic Barton, former Global Managing Partner of McKinsey\u003cbr\u003e'The quest to encourage companies to adopt positive values, for the benefit of all stakeholders, sometimes seems long on vision and short on firepower. Edmans, a finance professor, provides plenty of ammunition to support the idea that visionary leaders can expand the whole “pie” in pursuit of purpose and profit.' Andrew Hill, Financial Times, Best Books of 2020\u003cbr\u003e'This is an original and important book that will help transform how business sees itself - and how we see business. Alex Edmans in his passionate advocacy of 'Pieconomics' challenges us all to adopt a mindset and unity of purpose in which all business actions contribute to pie growing. The implications are radical and far-reaching. Read it: it will challenge how you think.' Will Hutton, Principal of Hertford College, Oxford and Observer columnist\u003cbr\u003e'In Grow the Pie, Alex Edmans has provided us with a valuable contribution to contemporary thinking about how business can be a force for good in society. His thought-provoking, often contrarian, ideas are rigorously logical, delving beneath the superficial analyses we often see, which assume correlation implies causation. And Alex's engaging storytelling brings the principles of 'Pieconomics' to life with examples of prominent business people - not just those who understand the benefits of growing the pie - but also those who don't.' Sir James G. M. Wates, Chairman of Wates Group\u003cbr\u003e'Alex Edmans has done a great service to society by showing that business doesn't have to be a zero-sum game if we focus more on growing the pie rather than maximizing our slice of it. This is capitalism with a human face.' Andrew Lo, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\u003cbr\u003e'Just as Freakonomics encouraged readers to look beyond the conventional wisdom that underlies many public policies, now Professor Alex Edmans introduces the concept of Pieconomics. In Grow the Pie, he challenges popular rhetoric that the free enterprise system is broadly detracting from society. Instead, through many and varied examples, he offers an alternate lens through which we can interpret what constitutes responsible business. In this thoroughly readable book, Edmans debunks mythologies about corporate behavior and offers a new vocabulary by which we can have principled discussions about the role of business in society.  A 'must read' for leaders in government, business and the media that reports on both.' Paula Rosput Reynolds, Director of GE, BP, and BAE\u003cbr\u003e'This book is a must-read for asset owners, fund managers and for the boards and executives who lead business enterprise. It provides evidence-based analysis and guidance on how the influence of well-designed stewardship can yield benefit in terms of both financial returns for savers and investors and returns for all stakeholders in a way that benefits society as a whole.' Sir David Walker, former Chairman of Barclays and Morgan Stanley International, author of the Walker Review\u003cbr\u003e'Alex Edmans has produced rigorous evidence that the choice between people and profits is a false dichotomy. Now he makes his work accessible to a broader audience and explains how it's possible to overcome the tradeoffs that hold so many leaders and companies back.' Adam Grant, author of Originals and Give and Take and host of the TED podcast WorkLife\u003cbr\u003e'This uplifting book provides powerful examples, as well as evidence, that socially responsible businesses generate even higher long term profits than corporations focused on short term profit maximisation. Value is created particularly in new economy enterprises by employee purpose, creation of brand and reputation which drives customer preference. The findings reflects my own real world experiences of striving for business excellence across the global LifeSciences industry.' David Pyott, former Chairman and CEO of Allergan\u003cbr\u003e'Finance Professor Alex Edmans defines his purpose in life as 'to use rigorous research to influence the practice of business.' This book, Grow the Pie, demonstrates his manifest success in fulfilling that purpose. Edmans mobilizes evidence - not anecdotes - to make a case, both accessible and compelling, for policies and practices that increase the value available for all stakeholders versus simply and simplistically maximizing profit. Edmans' critical contribution is to reframe arguments about business and capitalism from an all too prevalent short-term zero-sum game to collaborative games where, over time, all can benefit.' Bill Janeway, Warburg Pincus\u003cbr\u003e'Alex Edmans provides robust evidence against the claim that businesses must choose between shareholder value and social responsibility. Although there are trade-offs, there is no single trade-off. What is good for shareholders can be good for society: evidence matters.' Baroness Onora O'Neill, University of Cambridge\u003cbr\u003e'An important, thoughtful, and timely book. The conflicts surrounding business, and its effects on society, are the subject of a heated debate. With clarity and insight, Alex Edmans makes a valuable contribution to this key debate. Anyone interested in this important subject would find much to learn from, or wrestle with, in this book.'

Introducing the idea: 1. The pie-growing mentality: a new approach to business that works for both investors and society; 2. Growing the pie doesn't aim to maximise profits – but often does: freeing a company to take more investments, ultimately driving its success: 3. Growing the pie doesn't mean growing the enterprise: three principles to guide trade-offs and which projects to turn down; 4. Does pieconomics work?: data – not wishful thinking – shows that companies can both do good and do well; Part II. What grows the pie? Exploring the evidence: 5. Incentives: rewarding long-term value creation while deterring short-term gaming; 6. Stewardship: the value of engaged investors that both support and challenge management; 7. Repurchases: investing with restraint, releasing resources to create value elsewhere in society; Part III. How to grow the pie? Putting it into practice: 8. Enterprises: the power of purpose and how to make it real; 9. Investors: turning stewardship from a policy into a practice; 10. Citizens: how individuals can act and shape business, rather than be acted upon; Part IV. The bigger picture: 11.

Focusing on the author's three decades of trading experience at leading banks and hedge funds, it covers both discretionary and computer-driven strategies and perspectives on AI-based and quantamental investing using new alternative data, which includes numerous examples and insights of real trades and investment strategies. No mathematical knowledge is required, with the relevant algorithms detailed in the appendices.Discretionary investing details equity and credit investing across the corporate capital structure. Through trading equities, bonds and loans, event-driven trades can target profitable special situations and relative value opportunities. Systematic trading involves computer-driven strategies derived from a scientific and statistical analysis of liquid markets. The investment strategies of both commodity trading advisors (CTAs) and long\/short equity funds are detailed, from trend-following to factor-based approaches. AI investing is fashionable but does the reality for hedge funds correspond to the AI hype present in other non-financial domains? AI using neural nets and other machine learning techniques are outlined along with their practical application in regards to investing.Quantitative Hedge Funds also discusses environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing, which has rapidly evolved as the public and institutions demand solutions to global problems such as climate change, pollution and unethical labour practices. ESG investment strategies are migrating out of the long-only space and into hedge funds.Finally, the advent of big data has led to multiple alternative datasets available for hedge fund managers. The integration of alternative data into the investment process is discussed, together with the rise of so-called quantamental investing, a hybrid of the best of human skill and computer-based technologies.Related Link(s)","brand":"World Scientific Europe Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48741754503511,"sku":"9781800612372","price":58.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781800612372.jpg?v=1720058696"},{"product_id":"the-quants-the-maths-geniuses-who-brought-down-wall-street-9781847940599","title":"The Quants: The maths geniuses who brought down","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eYou're a genius.

Penetrating a cloak of falsehood, deception and duplicity, Professor Antony C.

Carefully tracing this closely guarded secret through original documents and eyewitness accounts, Sutton comes to the unsavoury conclusion that the catastrophic Second World War was extremely profitable for a select group of financial insiders. He presents a thoroughly documented account of the role played by J.P. Morgan, T.W. Lamont, the Rockefeller interests, General Electric Company, Standard Oil, National City Bank, Chase and Manhattan banks, Kuhn, Loeb and Company, General Motors, the Ford Motor Company, and scores of others in helping to prepare the bloodiest, most destructive war in history.

This decline in interest rates means that investors have to live with lower nominal returns.

Today, things have drastically changed: Life expectancy exceeds 80 years in many countries, and one should expect to live and consume many years after retirement. Thus, we have many investors with various investment horizons, where the length of the investment horizon becomes a crucial factor in determining the best investment diversification.This book analyzes the effect of the investment horizon on the optimal diversification, specifically between stocks and bonds: Should a young investor and an older investor have the same portfolio? Is it recommended to savers for retirement to change the asset allocation between stocks and bonds as they grow older, as life cycle mutual funds do in practice? Is the idiom 'stocks for the long run' backed by scientific evidence? We analyze for which horizons it is recommended to employ the popular Mean-Variance rule and for which horizons employing this rule induces an economic distortion, hence a loss to the investors. It is shown that all relevant parameters for investment choice (means, variances, and correlations) change in a non-linear way with the horizon, a fact that makes the investment horizon crucial for investment choices. Similarly, the popular Sharpe, Treynor, and Jensen performance indices vary with the assumed horizon even in the case of independence over time. To analyze all the above issues, we employ the Mean-Variance rule and Stochastic Dominance rules, as well as direct expected utility calculations.","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48743283163479,"sku":"9789811250149","price":121.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9789811250149.jpg?v=1723812656"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/collections\/investment-and-securities.oembed?page=76","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
