Description and Table of Contents
Description
The prime object of this book is to put the Eurobond market - and its recent offshoot, the Euro-equity market - in the context of the range of markets open to the international investor. Before "globalization" was a fashionable term, the Eurobond market (despite the misleading "Euro" prefix) was global. Now it is having to fit into a new pattern, where other markets have joined it in the global market-place. This book aims to describe that new pattern, which is bound up with the revolution in global communications and trading that has taken place over the last decade, and also describes briefly the major domestic equity and bond markets which are the global investor's alternatives to the Euromarkets. Since the author works for an off-shore investment institution investing without restrictions on a global basis, but with some need for ongoing liquidity and sensitive to international tax regimes, the focus reflects that bias, but where appropriate the viewpoint aims to reflect particular domestic constraints such as applied by the major domestic investor regulation bodies.
The book is written from the view-point of an investor needing to understand the markets in which he or she operates, rather than as a technical manual, but the author hopes that enough detail has been included on calculations, new issue mechanics, clearing systems and the like that it will serve as a useful introductory reference source for those needing to get to grips with nuts and bolts. Where technical detail is included it is generally in the appendices rather than cluttering up the main text.
