Table of Contents

Preface
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.
- Benjamin Franklin

As a lifelong student of investment management and global finance, I realized a long time ago that there is always something new to learn that can help you to research, understand and improve your investment and risk management decision-making.

When some exchanges or markets are closing, others are opening. A typhoon in southeast Asia can have as much an effect upon Asian markets as an unexpected Federal Reserve interest rate hike in the United States. The common thread between these situations is that knowledge can help you to more quickly improve investment decisions and to mitigate risk.

While some believe that financial terms and phrases may not be the best learning tool, an understanding of the fundamentals of investment and risk management terminology are more valuable than ever due to the large number of trading venues.

Globally, there are more than 200 stock exchanges that trade over 600,000 listed companies. There is also a significant number of exchanges for trading commodities and derivative products. Turkey alone having over 100 commodity exchanges.

While many concepts and terms are standardized, each market and exchange will have its own unique slang or language to understand. At the end of the day, a massive amount of information flows between markets and investors. There are valuable benefits to those that have a better understanding on the global language of investment and finance.

The GlobEx Markets Learning Series on Global Finance and Risk Management is an educational resource that provides the fundamental building blocks to help you better understand the language of global finance and risk management. In addition, it introduces trading strategies, risk management techniques and financial tools that are beneficial to students, investors, industry professionals and all who just want to better understand how the financial world operates.
