Je traduis d'un chroniqueur italien le d tail des amours d'une princesse romaine avec un Fran ais. C' tait en 1726, au commencement du dernier si cle. Tous les abus du n potisme florissaient alors Rome. Jamais cette cour n'avait t plus brillante. Beno t XIII (Orsini) r gnait, ou plut t son neveu, le prince Campobasso, dirigeait sous son nom toutes les affaires grandes et petites. ...] Les deux ni ces du pape, la comtesse Orsini et la princesse Campobasso, se partageaient la puissance de leur oncle et les hommages de la cour. Leur beaut les aurait fait distinguer m me dans les derniers rangs de la soci t .
Tante volte nel traffico della Via Trionfale si passa distrattamente davanti alla Chiesa di San Francesco d'Assisi a Monte Mario, ormai parte del paesaggio urbano della citt di Roma. Una presenza da pi di trecento anni, silenziosa, austera, poco invadente rispetto ai palazzi che la circondano e soffocano. Eppure c' stato un tempo in cui quella "chiesetta" era il centro di un borgo, il Borgo Clementino o di Sant'Onofrio, lontano dall'Urbe. Il fulcro di quello che poi diverr il quartiere di Monte Mario. Vale la pena ripercorrerne la storia, che poi la storia stessa del quartiere, dai primordi nel 1600 di una contesa legale per un lascito testamentario fino ai giorni nostri con l'edificazione della nuovissima struttura di fianco all'edificio storico. Aneddoti, curiosit , immagini inedite arricchiscono questo viaggio indietro nel tempo.
Messengers of Empire: Print and Revolution in the Atlantic World examines how news and information moved across the Atlantic world during the Age of Sail. It provides a ground-breaking look at how the French Revolutionary Wars impacted the development of communication channels, such as the creation of regular postal services in the Caribbean and increased reliance on local printers to produce print matter faster and more effectively. With the onset of war between the British Empire and French overseas empire, improved communications became a critical factor for military success, prompting developments on both sides. This included the surge in Caribbean printing operations, as well as the copper plating of packet boats to decrease the time it took for mail to cross the Atlantic Ocean in either direction. This book provides a unique inter-imperial comparison, revealing key differences and similarities between Britain and France in terms of how information circulation was crucial to the operation of empire. It consults a range of archival sources that have rarely, if ever, been used before, including correspondence dispatches, newspapers, almanacs, public notices, and even documents detailing secret society meetings. In doing so, this book reveals how imperial communication networks functioned at the ground level, as well as who were the gatekeepers of information in areas far removed from the metropoles.
Geschäftsimmanente Abstandnahme ist der Oberbegriff für die mannigfaltigen Spielarten der im Rechtsgeschäft selbst verwurzelten Möglichkeit der Bindungsdurchbrechung. Sie ist im allgemeinen Zivilrecht und auch im Verbraucherschutzrecht beheimatet. Gerade auf diese Zweigleisigkeit zielt Francesco A. Schurr in seiner rechtsvergleichenden und rechtsdogmatischen Untersuchung ab. Untersuchungsgegenstand ist zunächst das im Europäischen Fernabsatzrecht enthaltene ius poenitendi als aktuelle und praxisrelevante Ausprägung der geschäftsimmanenten Abstandnahme. Dieser exemplarisch herangezogene Bereich des Verbraucherrechts wird im weiteren Verlauf des Buches denjenigen allgemeinprivatrechtlichen Rechtsinstituten gegenübergestellt, die den am Rechtsgeschäft beteiligten Personen ein Reuerecht einräumen. Unter Heranziehung der Rechtsordnungen Deutschlands, Österreichs und Italiens wird dabei belegt, dass sich der Europäische Gesetzgeber bei Schaffung des verbraucherspezifischen Löserechts stark an die in den Europäischen Rechtsordnungen vorkommenden Fälle der geschäftsimmanenten Abstandnahme angelehnt hat. Der Autor rückt die Interessensverteilung innerhalb des vertraglichen Synallagmas in den Mittelpunkt seiner Bewertung und differenziert dabei, ob das Löserecht als Marketinginstrument dient, auf den Schutz des Schwächeren abzielt bzw. den Irrtum einer Vertragspartei ausgleichen soll. Das Buch baut insoweit Brücken zwischen dem allgemeinen Zivilrecht und dem Verbraucherrecht und gelangt damit auch zu grundlegenden Aussagen über die Zukunft der Europäischen Rechtsvereinheitlichung.
This book provides the fundamentals of asset management. It takes a practical perspective in describing asset management. Besides the theoretical aspects of investment management, it provides in-depth insights into the actual implementation issues associated with investment strategies. The 19 chapters combine theory and practice based on the experience of the authors in the asset management industry. The book starts off with describing the key activities involved in asset management and the various forms of risk in managing a portfolio. There is then coverage of the different asset classes (common stock, bonds, and alternative assets), collective investment vehicles, financial derivatives, common stock analysis and valuation, bond analytics, equity beta strategies (including smart beta), equity alpha strategies (including quantitative/systematic strategies), bond indexing and active bond portfolio strategies, and multi-asset strategies. The methods of using financial derivatives (equity derivatives, interest rate derivatives, and credit derivatives) in managing the risks of a portfolio are clearly explained and illustrated.

Long gone are the times when investors could make decisions based on intuition. Modern asset management draws on a wide-range of fields beyond financial theory: economics, financial accounting, econometrics/statistics, management science, operations research (optimization and Monte Carlo simulation), and more recently, data science (Big Data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence). The challenge in writing an institutional asset management book is that when tools from these different fields are applied in an investment strategy or an analytical framework for valuing securities, it is assumed that the reader is familiar with the fundamentals of these fields. Attempting to explain strategies and analytical concepts while also providing a primer on the tools from other fields is not the most effective way of describing the asset management process. Moreover, while an increasing number of investment models have been proposed in the asset management literature, there are challenges and issues in implementing these models. This book provides a description of the tools used in asset management as well as a more in-depth explanation of specialized topics and issues covered in the companion book, Fundamentals of Institutional Asset Management. The topics covered include the asset management business and its challenges, the basics of financial accounting, securitization technology, analytical tools (financial econometrics, Monte Carlo simulation, optimization models, and machine learning), alternative risk measures for asset allocation, securities finance, implementing quantitative research, quantitative equity strategies, transaction costs, multifactor models applied to equity and bond portfolio management, and backtesting methodologies. This pedagogic approach exposes the reader to the set of interdisciplinary tools that modern asset managers require in order to extract profits from data and processes.
This book covers the fundamentals of financial management and investment management without getting into the highly technical topics and mathematical rigor. It also provides a practitioner-oriented approach to financial and investment management.The field of finance covers several specialty areas. The two most important ones which set the foundations for the other specialty areas are financial management and investment management, and these are the two major topics covered in the book. After touching on the basics — the financial system and the players, financial statements, and mathematics of finance — the authors then cover financial management and investment management in greater depth. For financial management the authors focus on financial strategy and financial planning, dividend policy, corporate financing decisions, entrepreneurial finance, financial risk management, and capital budgeting decisions. The investment management coverage includes the different types of risks faced in investing, company analysis, valuing common stock, portfolio selection, asset pricing theory, and investing in common stocks and bonds. The last chapter of the book covers financial derivatives and how they are used in finance to control risk.
