The goal of investment management is to achieve the investor's
required rate of return by putting assets to their most productive
use. The return should compensate the investor for the time during
which the funds are committed, the expected rate of inflation and
the uncertainty of the future financial benefits anticipated from
the investment. Investment management is a concise, yet
comprehensive introduction to investment analysis and portfolio
management, specifically in the South African context. Investment
management provides a broad framework and a thorough network of
guidelines for the investment management student. It focuses on
investment in financial assets such as shares and bonds, and
explains both fundamental and technical analysis. It investigates
portfolio management and how derivative instruments such as
futures, options and swaps may be used for this purpose. A chapter
is devoted to the foreign exchange market and its management, and a
new chapter dealing with the governance of investment management
has been added. With self-assessment questions at the end of each
chapter, it prepares undergraduates for postgraduate study and is
written with the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA (R) ) Level I
learning outcomes in mind. Investment management is aimed at
undergraduate investment management students. Johan Marx (editor)
is a professor in financial and investment management at the
University of South Africa (Unisa). He is the author of five
financial management publications, and has presented and published
numerous articles. He has a keen interest in financial markets.
Johan de Beer lectured at Unisa before joining the University of
Pretoria as a senior lecturer in investments and derivatives. He
has since immigrated to Canada. He is a CFA charter holder and
completed his MCom on the topic of single stock futures. His
particular field of interest is derivatives and technical analysis.
Raphael Mpofu is a professor and the deputy executive dean of the
College of Economic and Management Sciences at Unisa. His research
interests include financing small businesses and personal
investments in emerging market economies. Henry Mynhardt is head of
the School of Business and Economics at Southern Business School
(SBS). He has vast experience in securities trading and has a keen
interest in fixed interest securities as well as corporate
governance, risk and compliance management.
