Strategic Financial Planning Over the Lifecycle

A Conceptual Approach to Personal Risk Management

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book on personal financial planning and wealth management employs the lifecycle model of financial economics. The central idea of 'consumption smoothing' is used to connect chapters and topics such as saving and investment, debt management, risk management and retirement planning. The first part of the book is nontechnical and aimed at a wide audience with no special technical background. The second part of the book provides a rigorous presentation of the lifecycle model from first principles using the calculus of variations. The accompanying website is found at http://www.yorku.ca/milevsky/?page_id=185. This is a final-year college level textbook on personal finance, jointly written by business school and mathematics professors. It is aimed at a wide audience of people who are interested in wealth management from a more rigorous perspective. It may be used in both personal applications and professional classrooms.
