Reviews

'Investors without liabilities don't need assets. This is the central message from this timely book that offers the best-in-class thinking from leading academics and practitioners in the field of Asset Liability Management. Anyone managing assets will need to read this book.' - Prof. Dr. Bernd Scherer, Professor of Finance, EDHEC Business School, London, UK

'The book provides an excellent overview on latest developments in quantitative methods for Asset Liability Management. The contributed articles particularly emphasize applicability aspects with traceable examples. It is a "must read" for everybody responsible for the solution of ALM modeling problems in the banking, insurance and pension fund industry.' - Prof. Dr. Karl Frauendorfer, Dean, School of Finance, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland

'This book is ideally timed. It collects together some of the best thinkers working in ALM currently, mixing leading edge academic work with practitioner insights. The focus by industry sector allows experts to enjoy comparing best practice in their own sectors with the frontiers of knowledge in allied disciplines. It also makes a valuable additional resource for trainee actuaries. For those less familiar with the subject, the format gives an appreciation of the range of innovation that ALM is driving across the financial sector.' - Nigel Masters, Immediate Past President, Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, UK
