Profile Media published Beaufort Institute's “S.A. Financial Markets” in early 2006.

Teresa Otto and Gavin Henderson author this exciting new publication. Teresa, who heads Beaufort Institute, an associate company of ENB Consulting (an internationally recognised training and consulting company) and Gavin a trading specialist, have pooled their extensive financial training and trading knowledge to deliver a “must have” financial reference for all financial specialists and scholars.

There are a total of eleven chapters covering various aspects of the financial markets, with particular reference to the local markets. The chapters are:

• Chapter One: Introduction to the Financial Markets
• Chapter Two: Understanding Interest Rates
• Chapter Three: Basic Economic Theory and Key Financial Indicators
• Chapter Four: Essential Financial Mathematics
• Chapter Five: Short-term Money (Debt) Markets
• Chapter Six: Long-term Capital (Debt) Markets
• Chapter Seven: The Equity (Share) Market
• Chapter Eight: The Foreign Exchange (FX) Market
• Chapter Nine: The Commodities Market
• Chapter Ten: Derivatives
• Chapter Eleven: Financial Risks and Risk Management

The reference guide is structured in such a way that any single chapter may be read or studied on its own, without the necessity of reading the entire publication. The authors’ understanding of the practical application of market knowledge combined with in depth financial theory is well demonstrated. It is therefore an ideal publication for both intensive study and as quick reference.
