Abstract:
Ethics in Finance earned five major awards: winner of the Business Book Awards (UK) 2022, and the Goody Business Book Awards 2022; silver medal winner, Global Book Awards 2022; bronze medal winner, Axiom Business Book Awards 2022; and finalist, International Book Awards (US) 2022. The book comprises multiple finance and ethics case studies. The second edition adds video summaries to each chapter. The purpose of the book is twofold. First, the case studies teach readers how to evaluate and determine resolutions to ethical issues in finance. Second, the reader enjoys a journey with the author, a woman, through her years working in finance. The case studies focus on ethical issues in finance which the author encountered over nearly a 30-year career in the industry. There are 10 cases extracted from different sectors of finance. This broad range is a consequence of the author’s experience from almost all sides of the business: the buy side, the sell side, equity research in Asia, equity sales, mutual funds, hedge funds, the finance academy, and consulting. Each case study has an engaging narrative describing the background, transactions, players, and ethical issues. The ethical issue is analyzed and resolved using appropriate theories of moral philosophy. Descriptions and analyses are rigorous yet comprehensible, approachable, and entertaining. Apart from ethics determinations, the material in the book describes and explains a variety of specific, and even complex, financial transactions. Each case explains the roles of various players involved. In this way, readers learn about the work involved in different finance positions, from investment bankers and equity traders, to portfolio managers and equity analysts. Readers also get an understanding of major financial transactions and activities such as IPOs, secondary offerings, equity trading, and equity valuations. The book will appeal to the general reader, finance practitioners, college and high school students, and lecturers who can use it to supplement courses in finance or business ethics.
