In Search of Returns 2e: Making Sense of Financial Markets

Notwithstanding the recent sharp rise in nominal interest rates, negative real long-term interest rates remain the global norm, and unsurprisingly, the resulting hunt for return has heightened the lure of financial markets. With real deposit rates deeply negative and balances historically positive, it seems timely to consider how such savings might be invested.
Financial markets are fascinating but successful investing is not easy. While the future looms as unknowable as ever, IN SEARCH OF RETURNS will help you to:

• Evaluate the relationship between ‘expected’ risk and returns in financial decision-making.

• Understand different investment asset classes and investment strategies.

• Appreciate the influence of cognitive biases in asset pricing and investment behaviour.

Now in its 2nd edition, it’s a timely guide to making sense of the financial markets.
