Description

A work which will bring Omega to the very forefront of available tools for working on probability and variance in financial markets analysis. No analyst or fund manager will want to be unfamiliar with the techniques that an understanding of Omega will place at their disposal. This ground-breaking new book is set to become a seminal work for financial analysts.

There is a compelling requirement for risk and the prediction of downside to be at the centre of investment strategy. Accuracy in the assessment of mathematical moment and trend lines lies within the pages of this book. With many fund managers, trading houses and banks offering similar products and services, this offers competitive methodology and tools not to be ignored. It pays to use them - it is risky not to.
