Praise for Contemporary Finance

"Contemporary Finance is another tour de force treatise from Allan Malz, building on but extending the coverage of his earlier book Financial Risk Management to bring it up to date in a world of financial fragility and interconnected complexity. Dr. Malz is a gifted expositor who approaches the subject from the vantage point of both a market risk manager and a scholar of finance theory. I've been working on these topics for four decades and learn something new in every chapter. Moreover, the material I think I knew I now know how to teach thanks to Allan's books."
?Richard Clarida, Harriss Professor of Economics, Columbia University; Global Economic Advisor, PIMCO; former Vice Chair, Federal Reserve 2018-2022

"Contemporary Finance covers many key issues in finance. For example, it explains the nature of financial markets, how financial securities are priced, and risk management practices. It concludes with chapters on monetary policy and regulation. An important question for any book used in the classroom is: 'Will students want to keep the book after the course is over?' I am confident that students will continue to want to use Contemporary Finance once they become practitioners. The book blends theory and practice in an engaging way that is useful for all who work (or would like to work) in finance."
?John C. Hull, Professor of Finance, Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto
