Summary

Whether borrowing, investing, saving or trading, a company will always have to take into account the cost of capital and therefore interest rate risk. The efficient management of this risk is essential for the survival of a company and any business that is exposed to such a risk should ensure that it is fully prepared to manage it. Aimed at senior managers within businesses, this book is a practical primer on how to reduce risk from changes in interest rates.
