Review by ChicagoFoodieJH for Introduction to Investment Banks, Hedge Funds, and Private Equity: The New Paradigm
Rating:
This is one of the few (if not only) textbooks out there that provides a broad yet comprehensive overview of the world of investment banks, hedge funds, and private equity, and how these three worlds intersect. Written by a Kellogg professor who used to be an investment banker at JPM, GS and UBS, this books represents an ideal balance between academia and real-world applicability. The book was written post-financial crisis and so presents some of the most up-to-date analysis of one of the most transformative events in recent financial industry history. In addition, there are ten case studies (including those on the financial crisis) that accompany the text as well as Excel modeling exercises to further help the student apply what they’ve read in the text to real-world examples. This is a great book for anyone interesting in pursuing a career in the industry, or anyone who is already in the industry, but perhaps would like to gain a better understanding of all the other components and counterparts to their business. -

Review by SBA for Introduction to Investment Banks, Hedge Funds, and Private Equity: The New Paradigm
Rating:
This book provides incredible insight into the Investment Banking, Hedge Fund, and Private Equity industries. David Stowell does an excellent job of breaking down very complex industries into a clear, concise narrative that is a must-read for industry vets, career changers, and all business school students. This book comes at an ideal time when the financial services industry has gone through incredible changes, which only someone with Stowell’s experience could articulate for a wide audience. The book uses a combination of easy to read textbook chapters and real-world case studies to dig into the three industries. This is the most valuable textbook I have read at Kellogg, and I will undoubtedly reference it throughout my career! -

David Stowell does an excellent job of describing the responsibilities and interactions between the different divisions of an investment bank (Investment Banking, Sales & Trading, and Asset Management). His simple but articulate writing style makes the book an easy read and the examples do a great job of framing the material in a real-world context. For anyone considering a career in high finance (or who just wants to know more about the industry), this book is an invaluable resource. -

I used this book while doing my MBA at Kellogg for investment banking (IB), Private Equity (PE) and Hedge Fund (HF) related classes. Besides the fact that I had experience working in the industry, I found the book extremely informative, depth but simple, with excellent examples and useful data. It is probably the best book available about the industry that deeply analyze the consequences of the of financial crisis in the PE/HFs, showing with hard data the outcome of the crisis on these businesses. Furthermore, the book contains amazing case studies that can be used to teach any IB/PE/HFs related class. In summary, a must for anyone who work or want to work in an IB, PE or HF. Also good for people that want to learn more about these businesses. Basic Finance is required tough. - Comment Feed for this Post
Review by LL for Introduction to Investment Banks, Hedge Funds, and Private Equity: The New Paradigm
Rating:
This truly practical guide to the investment banking, hedge fund and private equity world is a long overdue gift to the industry. As a practitioner, I strongly recommend this book to others in the industry. Written by a seasoned professional with extensive experience in both industry and academia, this book has served as a great desk reference for me and my Wall Street colleagues. For students, it will serve as a great supplement to more theory-based corporate finance curriculum. Stowell’s clear and concise language, coupled with real-world case studies and knowledge from other prominent experts (from “Training the Street” valuation coaches to senior bankers and asset managers) make this book refreshingly unique in its approach and practicality. This book should be required reading for any junior professional in industry! I hope that investment banks and other Wall Street firms incorporate this book in their analyst and associate training programs as an enormously valuable guide and resource.
