5 out of 5 stars ALM BIBLE: the latest global coverage on asset and liability management   January 18, 2010

A must-have encyclopaedia on ALM modelling!
This is a great technical manual for ALM practitioners. The content is always very solid (Balance sheet options modelling, accounting, regulatory requirements...)

This book can also be used for a graduate level/PhD course. Studying this book will give you a strong overall knowledge of ALM.

Adam's book of ALM lessons can possibly calm us in these crisis times, and also help us in decoding any unfolding mismatches!

This book reads very much like the author copied and pasted a set of PowerPoint presentations into book form. The presentation is incoherent, with a typical section consisting of several disjoint short sentences. To top it off, the author is not a native speaker, so the book is filled with grammatical errors that make for a rather annoying read. While I'm not sure which other book are available on this topic, this one is certainly not worth the paper it's printed on.
