More About the Author
Product Description
Review
[This] is the most comprehensive textbook on the financing, transactional, and risk management side of international trade and investment currently available. . . . Compared to many other textbooks, this one excels at focusing on the topic at hand and not merely providing a corporate or derivative textbook with some international flavor added. The book provides more than ample material for courses on financial markets and business finance. -- Evert Wipplinger, Financial Markets and Portfolio Management
Product Description
International Finance presents the corporate uses of international financial markets to upper undergraduate and graduate students of business finance and financial economics. Combining practical knowledge, up-to-date theories, and real-world applications, this textbook explores issues of valuation, funding, and risk management. International Finance shows how theoretical applications can be brought into managerial practice.
The text includes an extensive introduction followed by three main sections: currency markets; exchange risk, exposure, and risk management; and long-term international funding and direct investment. Each section begins with a short case study, and each of the sections' chapters concludes with a CFO summary, examining how a hypothetical chief financial officer might apply topics to a managerial setting. The book also contains end-of-chapter questions to help students grasp the material presented.
Focusing on international markets and multinational corporate finance, International Finance is the go-to resource for students seeking a complete understanding of the field.
- Rigorous focus on international financial markets and corporate finance concepts
- An up-to-date and practice-oriented approach
- Strong real-world examples and applications
- Comprehensive look at valuation, funding, and risk management
- Introductory case studies and "CFO summaries," and end-of-chapter quiz questions
- Solutions to the quiz questions are available online

Very in-depth introduction to the workings of international financial markets
28 May 2011
Format:Hardcover
Piet Sercu was my professor for the courses "International Finance" and "Foreign Direct Investment", we used a draft version of the textbook in 2008-09 before it was published. It is a very in-depth book, not really material for people with a superficial interest in the financial world. The book is full of practical examples & exercices that help you fully comprehend the material. Very interesting book in my opinion.
Very complex-better for advanced students
18 April 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
My professor decided to use this book to challenge the students. While I believe the book is well written and detailed it is not a good textbook for a beginning international finance class. The book is extremely complex and better for people that have some prior knowledge in the financial world and want to expand their interest to international finance. Due to the complex nature of the book I was unable to retain much knowledge from it and dreaded studying it.
Only use if you have to or you are already experienced in financial work and looking to expand on this knowledge. Avoid if you are a beginner.

Terrible book and full of typos
13 July 2010
Format:Hardcover
We used this book in my Masters-level international finance course. I highly recommend that anyone (profs, students, practitioners) thinking about adopting or reading an IF book to shy away from this one. It is too verbose; it lacks cohesion; it's unclear and full of small but critical mistakes. The solutions online are also full of errors. If you already know the material from another course, or are doing research in the area, then perhaps you might use this as a reference book. For the regular reader, stay away - you will find the text frustrating and confusing. You can get a nearly complete preprint copy free by searching online, so try it first before you buy it.
