The New Dangers of Prime Finance

In this revealing book, J. S. Aikman takes a detailed and thorough look at the complex relationship between hedge funds and their brokerages and the risks that multiply in extraordinary markets. Before the credit crash, the inextricable relationship between banks and brokers was a little-known risk for both parties. When troubles loom large, the unraveling of these tightly wound affiliations can seriously damage both organizations and induce systemic financial collapse. When Prime Brokers Fail takes a close look at the unheeded risks of prime finance and lays out the steps required for managers to protect their funds and bankers to protect their brokerages.
