This is a decent enough book and will provide a good introduction to those who want to understand the basics of the foreign exchange market and, in particular, the details of financial instruments that can be used. To me, that is the problem though; the title alludes to managing risk, but this is really mostly (but not entirely) just yet another book explaining all the instruments that can be used. These are a dime a dozen and the reader would have been better served if the author focused on what the title promised. Still, if you are a corporate treasurer without much experience this book will be helpful.

I had to get this book for my graduate finance class, but it is a really useful book. More importantly, this was the cheapest price I could find, and it shipped quickly. Dr Homaifar is a great professor and a good friend to his students. He knows what he is talking about.

Homaifar made complicated material more easy to understand. The examples provided help explain the subject matter thoroughly. Definitely a must-read!

Dr. Homaifar has done an outstanding job of presenting some very complex material in a clear, concise manner with excellent examples. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested or involved in finance and investing.
