Descripción de la solapa

Technology is developing and changing the way we live and work more and more every day, and in the financial markets it has created a double-edged sword. Today's investors are more informed and have more access to a broader range of investments than ever before, but they're also exposed to unprecedented risk at a moment's notice. Real-Time Risk shows all types of investors how to fully benefit from the data-rich insight and opportunities cutting-edge technology offers, while protecting assets from an always-on market.

Most investors don't fully understand how much FinTech has fundamentally changed the face of finance and investing. Do you know there are now twenty-one national security exchanges? Do you know allocating to stocks favored by high-frequency traders will improve a long-term buy-hold strategy? Do you understand how regulation will limit or expand your options tomorrow? This accessible treatment focuses on the impact--both documented and perceived--FinTech disruptions have on companies and how investors can profit from market reactions. FinTech is not only ushering in an unprecedented way of doing business and investing but also establishing its own asset class for investors to grow wealth while these startups continue to disrupt the industry and take market share. This proven authorial team, experts in cutting-edge quantitative and high-frequency trading, fully positions you for success in the new reality of growing wealth by putting at your fingertips the ability to:

• Explore in-depth the blatant and not-so-obvious ways high-frequency trading impacts your investments
