Pension Finance

“Informative without being patronizing and set out in a logical sequence with each chapter containing questions to help the reader consolidate what they have just learnt.” (Pensions Age, December 2006)

“What makes this book unique is the discussion of many pension specific subjects that are not covered in other books.” (Investments & Pensions Europe, March 2007)

”…this book provides a comprehensive and secure grounding in the theory and practice of finance.” (Pensions World, July 2007)
