Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Applied Asset and Risk Management
Marcus Schulmerich · 2014
60/100
👎 Skip It
A rigorous, practitioner-grounded graduate finance text with solid credentials — the lead author holds CFA and FRM designations and brings real-world experience from State Street and PIMCO. Seventeen worked examples give it genuine applied value for the right reader, but the graduate-level math prerequisites and 2014 publication date make this useful to almost no one outside a finance master's program.
