Investments set the standardas a graduate (MBA) text intended
primarily for courses in investment analysis.The guiding principle
has been to present the material in a framework that isorganized by
a central core of consistent fundamental principles and will
introducestudents to major issues currently of concern to all
investors. In an effort to link theory to practice, the authorsmake
their approach consistent with that of the CFA Institute. Many
features ofthis text make it consistent with and relevant to the
CFA curriculum. The common unifying theme is that securitymarkets
are nearly efficient, meaning that most securities are priced
appropriately given their risk and return attributes. Investments
is alsoorganized around several important themes: The central theme
is the near informational-efficiency of well-developed security
markets and the general awareness that competitive markets do not
offer "free lunches" to participants. A second theme is the
risk-return trade-off. Also, this text places great emphasis on
asset allocation. Finally, this text offers a broad and deep
treatment of futures, options, and other derivative security
markets.
The market-leading undergraduate investments textbook, Essentials
of Investments by Bodie, Kane, and Marcus, continues to evolve
along with the changes in the financial markets yet remains
organized around one basic theme-that security markets are nearly
efficient, meaning that you should expect to find few obvious
bargains in these markets. This text places great emphasis on asset
allocation while presenting the practical applications of
investment theory. The text also focuses on investment analysis,
which allows us to present the practical applications of investment
theory and convey practical value insights. A collection of Excel
spreadsheets is provided to give you the tools to explore concepts
more deeply. In their efforts to link theory to practice, the
author team also makes their approach consistent with that of the
CFA Institute. Included are questions from previous CFA exams in
our end-of-chapter problems and CFA-style questions derived from
the Kaplan-Schweser CFA preparation courses.
