I had the privilege of learning about the financial markets from Prof. Parameswaran at T.A.Pai Management Institute. I am now delighted to have the opportunity to be one of the first to read his latest contributions to financial literature."Fundamentals of Financial Instruments. Introduction to Stocks, Bonds, Foreign Exchange and Derivatives" published by Wiley Finance is an aptly titled book as the title says it all. It serves as a perfect primer to students who are taking those first steps into the financial markets. The book lays the ground with establishing the link between the economy and capital markets as well as underscoring the impact of monetary and fiscal policies that currently drive some of the largest economies of today. It builds on this foundation and runs through the gamut of securities from the basic ones such as equities to the most complex ones like MBS. Besides being a useful book for students of finance, it serves as an all in one, exhaustive reference for the working professional who can reach for it in lieu of a search in Google or Wikipedia for a quick catch-up. It would also come in handy to those taking the CFA Level II and the FRM exams as a source of additional material to augment that provided by the CFA Institute and GARP.The second book "Futures and Options. Concepts and Applications" published by McGraw-Hill brings back memories of my second year at MBA when I took up a similarly titled course by Prof. Parameswaran. Simple language explains the market structure, purpose, pricing and valuation of derivative instruments. The book is replete with numerous worked out examples which would be a valuable asset to students and practitioners of finance.
