Mondo Visione the specialist publisher of data and information about the exchanges and markets where the world trades securities, commodities and their derivatives, has announced the release of the 2007 edition of the Handbook of World Stock, Derivative and Commodity Exchanges.
Now in its eighteenth year, the Handbook is widely regarded as the definitive guide to stock, derivatives and commodity trading worldwide. The 1100 pages of the 2007 edition provide extensive coverage of more than 240 exchanges and trading venues in 118 countries, ranging from Albania to Zimbabwe.
The Handbook also contains detailed information on hundreds of futures and options contracts, from traditional commodities, through financial contracts based on exchange rates, interest rates and indices, to the latest contracts for trading in carbon emission allowances or credit derivatives.
The Handbook covers both traditional exchanges and electronic communication networks such as BATS Trading and Bloomberg Tradebook, and international organisations such as the International Capital Markets Association. It also provides information on the major index providers, and lists contact information for regulators and industry bodies worldwide.
With the exchange sector in flux, as member-owned institutions convert to demutualised, profit-driven listed companies in the face of increasing pressure from new and aggressive electronic exchanges, accurate information has never been more important. The Handbook of World Stock, Derivative & Commodity Exchanges has become the standard industry source for this information.
The factual information in the Handbook is supplemented by a wide range of articles and opinion pieces written by industry experts, addressing key policy and technical issues affecting the exchange industry.
Contributors to the editorial section of 2007 edition include:- Junius Peake, former Professor of Finance, Kenneth W Monfort College of Business, University of Northern Colorado
- Joseph Gawronski & Richard A. Rosenblatt, COO & CEO of Rosenblatt Securities
- Peter Bennett, founder of Tradepoint the exchange now known as virt-x
- Robert Barnes, Managing Director, Equities, UBS Investment Bank and Chairman, Securities Trading Committee, London Investment Banking Association
