Abstract

[Machine translation] The purpose of the volume is to provide an organic and accurate representation of the functioning of the securities markets, in their structural and organizational aspects, as well as an overview of the different types of financial instruments and intermediaries present in them, so as to fully understand the functions and opportunities offered to operators of the economic system. The volume opens with a first part, consisting of chapters 1 to 3, in which the main definitions and articulations of the markets are identified respectively in order to give the reader an immediate knowledge of the main theoretical and organizational references (Chapter 1), the definition of the general characteristics of financial instruments (Chapter 2) and the identification of some main current evolutionary trends in the markets (Chapter 3) with particular attention, among others, to the impact of regulation and of technological innovation., The second part of the volume, consisting of Chapters 4 and 5, is aimed at examining debt instruments and their markets (primary and secondary). Chapter 4 proposes an examination of the technical characteristics of debt instruments: from the simplest to the most complex and articulated. It is followed by Chapter 5, which explains in detail the methods for evaluating the return and risk associated with debt instruments, first recalling, in fact, the concepts of risk-return and capitalization, then offering an exhaustive analysis of the determinants of the profitability of these instruments (even of the most complex ones) as well as their riskiness., The third part, consisting of Chapters 6 to 8, is aimed at evaluating the profitability and risk of equity instruments, the methods of accessing the markets and the techniques used to make their exchange possible in the markets and the mechanisms that allow their price formation. In particular, Chapter 6 explains the methods that can be used to assess the risk and return profiles of investments in equities, while Chapter 7 explains the function of the stock market, highlighting its capacity to be a financing channel for companies and the implications that this function has for their ownership structures. Chapter 8 analyzes the evolution of the rules governing the functioning of markets and the examination of the various existing trading circuits for equities, with specific reference also to the Italian reality., The fourth part of the volume, comprising Chapters 9 to 11, is dedicated to managed savings products. More precisely, the focus is on contracts for the management of investment portfolios on an individual basis for third parties (asset management), mutual funds and other collective investment undertakings in securities (OICR). In particular, Chapter 9 intends to provide an overview of the asset management industry in our country, while the specific contractual and economic characteristics of the main types of investment funds and SICAVs are discussed in Chapter 10. Finally, Chapter 11 is dedicated to the technical aspects of managing financial portfolios and to the indicators useful for evaluating the performance of the asset management service., The fifth part of the volume, developed in Chapters 12 to 14, is dedicated to derivative instruments. Chapter 12 is dedicated to general issues that make it possible to define the underlying reasons for the development of the derivative products market, to the definition of investment strategies by private and institutional investors, and to the analysis of the forms of financial innovation that encompass derivative instruments. Chapter 13 focuses on derivative products that are linked to equity risk, creditworthiness and pure risks, while Chapter 14 is specifically dedicated to derivative products in the interest rate and foreign exchange sector.
