The De Gruyter Studies in Finance series delivers concise insights into global financial trends across various disciplines, featuring expert contributions and international case studies. These theoretically grounded, yet accessible titles provide a diverse, global outlook on the evolving financial landscape.
Through the submission of high-quality manuscripts, the series aims to disseminate timely, robust, and concise works that display key themes and developments across international finance.
Examples of such themes include those relating to: trends in traditional and digital banking; the changing global economic landscape; market trends and cycles; risk management; financial inclusion; the development of financial literacy and education; corporate governance; market anomalies and inefficiencies; investment strategies; behavioural finance; the influence of social media, market sentiment and investor emotions; the role of AI in finance; market regulation; quantitative finance and algorithmic trading; financial market history; sustainable finance; Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing; climate change and the environment; central banking and global central bank policies; the effects of monetary policy on global markets; geopolitical influence; development of and change across financial instruments and products; financial engineering; FinTech; Blockchain and Cryptocurrency; DeFi; Altcoins; NFTs; Tokens, CBDC and stablecoins; RegTech; LendTech; PayTech; InsurTechl; robo-advisors and digital wealth management; IPOs; ICOs; M&A; real estate investing; wealth management; taxation and its impact on investment decisions; peer-to-peer lending and crowdfunding; personal finance; and the future of finance and investment.
The series has been established to focus on providing an outlet that can encourage debate for those with interest in financial markets and investment, while also providing a thoroughly researched outlet that can be used for academic and educational purposes. Specifically, The De Gruyter Studies in Finance series will be particularly useful for specialist audiences such as legal, accounting and financial practices, while also providing substantial benefits for upper master’s level and research students in the fields of economics, law, accounting, taxation, investment and portfolio management.
The series aspires to contribute to a global perspective on the changing dynamics of financial markets, seeking authors with innovative approaches to analyse and examine key issues and developments, which can be taken from a multi-disciplinary perspective. We welcome the submission of both monographs and edited collections that share these aims. We are particularly interested in new book proposals, including: i) individual monographs; ii) edited volumes from multiple contributors across different organisations; and iii) technical publications covering specialist topics.

Topics
The COVID-19 pandemic revealed several critical vulnerabilities in global financial systems, emphasising the need for a thorough investigation into both immediate and long-term effects on financial markets. This publication examines these impacts across a spectrum of financial areas, from traditional markets to emerging sectors, exploring how the pandemic accelerated transformations like fintech adoption, digital finance, and green finance, while exposing new risk dynamics. It assesses shifts in market stability, risk appetite, and investment behaviours, offering a detailed analysis of sectoral disruptions in industries such as tourism, sports, banking, and retail. A thorough assessment of asset performance, including safe-haven assets, highlights the limitations of traditional diversification strategies during crises. The publication concludes with insights into the resilience of financial frameworks and proposes a series of critical adjustments to avert future market crises.
This book is an essential guide for researchers, finance professionals, and policymakers looking to better understand and manage systemic risks in the evolving post-pandemic financial world.
In an era where traditional investment paradigms are being constantly redefined by technological innovation and the global push towards sustainability, Themes in Alternative Investments emerges as a seminal volume designed to guide investors, finance professionals, and scholars through the complex terrain of non-traditional financial vehicles. This volume presents a thorough exploration of the interconnections between cutting-edge technology, dynamic market forces, and the intricate regulatory landscapes shaping the future of finance. With a spotlight on burgeoning investment mediums such as cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), private equity, and fine wine, it provides a critical analysis of the burgeoning domain of sustainable finance solutions amidst the digital revolution.
The contributors to this volume undertake a meticulous examination of alternative investments, presenting a nuanced narrative that spans from the infamous Tuna Bonds scandal to the high-profile downfalls of Silicon Valley Bank and the FTX exchange. This narrative delves into the profound implications of technological advancements on market infrastructures, scrutinising the shifting contours of financial fraud and the paramount importance of robust regulatory frameworks in upholding market integrity.
Themes in Alternative Investments not only dissects the allure and pitfalls of these emergent investment avenues but also casts a critical eye on the role of artificial intelligence in reshaping investment strategies and market operations. The discussion transcends the mere identification of opportunities and challenges, offering a deep dive into the mechanisms by which technology and AI are becoming pivotal in the detection and prevention of market manipulation and fraud.
As the landscape of alternative investments expands, driven by investor appetite for innovation and higher yields, this volume serves as an indispensable resource. It equips stakeholders with the analytical tools and insights needed to discern the complexities of these investment strategies, navigate their risks, and harness the potential of financial markets evolving under the influence of digital transformation and sustainability imperatives.
